[minor wear to cloth at spine ends, otherwise a pristine copy; jacket has a couple of tiny tears and some associated wrinkling/creasing at top of spine, one small closed tear at top of rear panel, very minor rubbing and edgewear]. Satirical novel about a couple of ex-prostitutes (one now married to a stockbroker, the other the editor of a leading fashion magazine), who find themselves responsible for the "oafish" 19-year-old daughter of their former (deceased) employer, and decide the quickest way to get her off their hands is to introduce her into New York's high society -- by blackmailing some of their former johns.
