(pen and ink drawings) Teenage girl adventure, one of numerous books by this prolific author; apparently one of her harder-to-find titles. I cannot find a single contemporary review of this book, and with no dust jacket blurb to quote from, I'm at a loss to provide a coherent summary without actually reading it, and who's got time for that? Offered for the Jane Abbott completist (I feel fo...

Publisher: New York, E.P. Dutton & Co., Inc.: 1940

Seller ID: 21905

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Fair in Fair dj

[possible ex-rental library book, unmarked as such but exhibiting all the other signs: the covers are worn and stained, ditto the endpapers and the dust jacket, all as a result of the jacket having long been imprisoned in one of those awful old protective covers--the ones with the black strips along the top and bottom edges, that permanently adhere to the jacket and inevitably result in gunky black staining (as here) to the edges of the book covers; anyway, the book is kind of a mess, and yet with the jacket re-covered in new mylar it actually presents reasonably well, and makes a perfectly ac...

[nice copy, clean and tight with no discernible wear; the jacket shows just a touch of edgewear here and there, which essentially disappears inside its new mylar cover (supplied)]. (B&W photographs) "A zany, funny, brilliant, definitive and idiosyncratic account of the lives, the early careers and the final flowering of the Brothers Marx -- told in their own words, the recollections of their co-workers, the scripts and dialogue of their movies and, for the most part, in the words of the author, a lifelong Marxist, who takes his subjects seriously but writes about them in a way that is at o...

(The Traveller's Companion Series) Series Mass Market PB Erotic novel with a rock 'n' roll background, about a groupie who falls in (or jumps in) with a band on tour; much sexual intercourse ensues.
