[moderate overall wear]. Trade PB Satirical novel about a day in the life of an IRS agent -- the cover design has "IRS" crossed out and "Incredibly Ridiculous System" scrawled in its place.

Susann's third and final novel, published just a bit more than a year before she died of cancer (in September 1974) at the age of 56.
