About This Item
Baltimore: PublishAmerica, 2006. Light to moderate rubbing, bumping or shelfwear. Spine straight and uncreased. Interior tight and unmarked except author's signature on title page, and two pages (170-171) where a reader has made a few corrections in ink of punctuation, capitalization and spelling. Strange thing about this fellow is that he has written at least 11 books plus a couple of screenplays, and little can be found about him on google as of today (Dec 3 2020). Google thinks he was born in Nassau NY in 1922 and is still alive. Near the start of this book he mentions that he was born in November. There is an obit for a Burton Wohl (born November 20, 1922) who died in Campbell River, British Columbia, on June 17, 2015. It is likely the same person. He does not have a wiki page, though there is one for one of his books that was made into a movie. He seems to have left a very light footprint upon this earth despite considerable accomplishments. Room here, I think, for research and biography. 207 pp.. Signed by Author. First. Trade Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket as Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
