Knopf, New York, 1977 New York, Knopf, 1977. First edition. First printing. Fine in a fine jacket. A tight clean copy. The jacket is price clipped. Prior owner's neat bookplate on front pastedown. A bit of soiling to reverse side of jacket (about an inch-size stain, although it is not noticeable from the front). Not a book club edition, of course. Comes with archival-quality mylar jacket protector. Smoke-free. This is a beautiful copy of the first edition of Babitz' second book (after EVE'S HOLLYWOOD). Babitz enjoyed a renaissance beginning in 2010 due in part to the reissuing of much of her work by the New York Review Books, Simon & Schuster and Counterpoint Press.. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine.

A collection of essays and stories providing an intimate look at California and its inhabitants during the 1970s.
