Description:
Lorrie Moore's debut collection of short stories, published when she was 28 years old, hit a nerve with its sardonic and sarcastic tone referencing the popular self-help and self-therapy movement of the 1980s. Witty titles include "How to Be an Other Woman", "A Kid's Guide to Divorce" and the classic "How to Become a Writer" where she instructs readers to "First, try to be something, anything, else. A movie star/astronaut. A movie star/missionary. A movie star/kindergarten teacher. President of the World. Fail miserably." Beautiful inscribed copy of the book that launched Moore's promising writing career.Hardback, 163. Quarter grey cloth and grey boards, silver lettering on spine. Some darkening on top and bottom edges. Light spotting on book edges. Dust jacket, designed by Patricia Manzone is bright, in pristine condition. Overall in almost fine condition. Inscribed on the free front endpaper: "To Wilma, whose son is a wonderful writer! Best, Lorrie Moore", dated 1985.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
