New York: Hawthorn Books, 1978. Fine in near fine jacket.. First edition of this frenzied, anthropologically-minded contemporary account of disco: the music, the clubs, the fashions, the way of life. Rare this condition. Full of photographs in color and black and white, capturing the scene and the regulars at Studio 54 and elsewhere, with Goldman's masterfully unhinged commentary: on Grace Jones ("the ultimate symbol of the female principle, the feline essence, the cat goddess"), the Electric Circus ("a mind-blower and the greatest freak show in New York"), Sanctuary ("Put fifteen hundred gay boys in a private club, feed them every drug in the pharmacopoeia, turn up the music loud, and pour the drinks like soda pop--presto!") and more. 11'' x 8.5''. Original black cloth with green spine lettering. In original unclipped ($16.95) photographic dust jacket. Red endpapers. [14], 174 pages. Minor wear to boards. Tape repair to jacket spine, visible on verso only. Minimal edgewear.
