About This Item
Toronto, ON, Canada: Penguin Books Canada, Limited, 1992. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. ISBN:0451172302. The Good Times begins where Russell Baker's wondrous memoir, Growing Up, left off. It is the story of how a very raw youth, supported by an extraordinary mother's love, and prodded by her dauntless desire for him to succeed, somehow actually did. His odyssey from a lowly police reporter's beat in Baltimor e to the journalistic heights of reporting on the Queen of England and the great folk in Washington, D.C.and from the homespun truths of his upbringing to the mirrors and masks he learned to see thro ugh in the grown-up world.is deliciously funny, movingly heartfelt, and unsparingly revealing. It is Russell Baker at his best. The book is in nice shape. The spine has a few creases down it. The bot tom from outside corner has a light rubbed spot. Some yellowing on edges of pages from age on book, but does not interfer with the words. The buyer will be pleased..
