About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1948. First US edition. Hardcover. Moderate fading to cloth, else very good in jacket with fading to jacket spine lettering, a few spots and general toning, but no tears, not price-clipped. 164 pp., small octavo, original gray cloth with cover title and ornament in green, jacket.
A satire on life and mores in Hollywood. The author, in "A Warning" on the page following the dedication to Nancy Mitford, cautions the reader that ". . . this is a nightmare and in parts, perhaps, somewhat gruesome. The squeamish should return their copies to the library or the bookstore unread."
