About This Item
New York: Putnam, 1971. First edition. Hardcover. A near fine copy in a very good dust jacket with shallow chipping to the spine crown and foot. A candid and highly personal portrait of Los Angeles and its surroundings by the astute and sensitive young columnist of the Los Angeles Free Press that captures the spirit of the city and its people with acid-dipped poetic prose. A deliciously irreverent and subjective reconaissance of tinsel land, its celebrities, would-be VIP's, artists, writers, promoters, hustlers, acidheads, eccentrics, hipsters, and unsung heroes. 283pp. Bound in white and red cloth over boards.
