New York: The Dial Press. Near Fine in Very Good+ dj. 1972. First Edition. Hardcover. [nice clean copy with no significant wear, very slight fading to cloth at top of spine; the jacket has a number of tiny scrape marks on the front panel and a ragged 1.5-inch closed tear at the top of the spine]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "For ____ / a fellow addict / with great affection / Steve Shagan / Oct 1972." Novel about an aging garment-industry businessman in Los Angeles who's in an existential crisis, "forced to come to grips with his failures and the life he had made for himself." The author's first novel, it had actually been a screenplay first, although the chronology is left a little fuzzy by the jacket statement that Shagan "has also written the film script of this [novel]." In any event, the film went into production at about the same time the novel came out and was released in February 1973. Shagan produced the film as well as getting the screenplay credit, and its star, Jack Lemmon, received his first and only Best Actor Academy Award (although he was nominated six other times in that category). Signed by Author .
