THE ANDY WARHOL PHILOSOPY, SIGNED BY ANDY WARHOL WITH HIS AUTOGRAPHED TRADEMARK INITIALS, FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING.[publisher: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich] FINE CONDITION, only very slight wear barely noticable. SCARCE THUS. 1975, First Edition, first printing. (ISBN: 0151890501). Hardcover. Bright, square, SIGNED, First Edition, First Printing hardcover in original black/photographic dustjacket. Signed "AW" by Andy Warhol with his trademark initials in black marker, with bleed through to second and third pages behind signature. He is full of contradictions. For example, though one of the first lines of the book is Warhol stating that he cannot be alone, he tells us in the first chapter--entitled, "Love (Puberty)"--that he is essentially a loner (23). He informs us that he did not have any psychological problems of his own (23), after already having narrated that he "had had three nervous breakdowns" when he was a child (21), and also describing in detail how pathologically jealous he was: "I get jealousy attacks all the time...I may be one of the most jealous people in the world....Basically, I go crazy when I can't have first choice on absolutely everything....As a matter of fact, I'm always trying to buy things and people just because I'm so jealous somebody else might buy them..." (49-50). No psychological problems indeed

FIRST PRINTING FIRST EDITION IN VERY SCARCE FINE CONDITION WITH VERY SCARCE FINE DUST JACKET ALMOST 'AS NEW CONDITION" New York:: Random House. (1965).. First edition. In the first-issue dust jacket with "1/66" and two extra lines at the bottom of the back flap: "Publishers of the American College Dictionary and the Modern Library" (not on BOMC edition). His most famous book.Truman Capote set out to write an instruction manual on how to craft the 'nonfiction novel' with "In Cold Blood." "True crime or nonfiction novel - no matter what the genre, the hotly contested work originally broke ground when published in four installments in "The New Yorker Magazine" ("In Cold Blood: A True Account of a Multiple Murder and its Consequences") in the fall of 1965 and was immediately repackaged by Random House as the "nonfiction novel' "In Cold Blood." Recently inspired the movie "CAPOTE WITH PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN. Debate ensued over which genre the novel best fit rather than spurring commentary on the horrifying voyeuristic account of the Clutter family murders, including the subsequent trial and execution of their murderers. Written with the assistance of his childhood friend, Harper Lee (of legendary "To Kill a Mockingbird" fame), Capote and Lee traveled to Holcomb, Kansas to interview local residents and talk with investigators. Debate continues today as to the validity of nonfiction told through a narrator's voice. The novel also set a new trend in journalism for print and television, and still used today as a basis for teaching journalism in universities across the country. ~Quickly made into the 1967 film of the same name starring Robert Blake (Perry Smith) and Scott Wilson (Richard Hickcock) as the murderous duo, ...

SIGNED "FEAR OF FLYING" ERICA JONG, "AS NEW" LEATHER COLLECTOR EDITION, SIGNED TWICE COLLECTOR'S LEATHER EDITION "AS NEW" SCARCE THIS, IN "AS NEW CONDITON". SIGNED BY Jong, Erica: Fear of Flying. Collector's Edition Published by The Easton Press in Norwalk, Conn.: 2001. Fine in full dark blue leather covered boards with five raised bands on the spine with gilt text and decorations stamped in the compartments and with gilt tool work on both the front and rear boards. The end papers are silk with a matching silk placement ribbon sewn-in at the head of the spine. All three edges of the text block are in gilt. An octavo measuring 9" tall by 6" without a dust jacket as issued. Signed by the author twice on the certificate of authenticity and the title page. 336 pages of text. A beautiful, tight, clean copy with no names, dates, notations or former owner's book plates.Jong’s explosive first novel, Fear of Flying. Shocked typesetters refused to set the book in type. Meanwhile, employees of her publisher stole copies of the galleys and excitedly shared them with their friends. Early reviews were lukewarm. But then the encomiums began to appear—from fellow writers like John Updike and Henry Miller. Updike said the book "feels like a winner. It has class and sass, brightness and bite." Updike compared the book to Philip Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint and J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye, and characterized Jong as a modern-day incarnation of Chaucer’s Wife of Bath. Updike applauded the book’s "cheerful, sexual frankness," writing that the author "sprinkles on four-letter words as if women had invented them." The poet who ransacked her kitchen cupboards for metaphors must have been particularly gratified by one that Updike invented with: "Containing all the cracked eggs of the feminist litany, her soufflé rises with the poet’s afflatus." Henry Miller declared that Jong was "more forthright, more daring than most male writers." He found the novel "full of meaning and…a paean to life." He compared it to his own novel Tropic of Cancer, finding it "not as bitter and much funnier." "It is rare these days," Miller said, "to come upon a book written by a woman which is so refreshing, so gay and sad at the same time, and so full of wisdom about the eternal man-woman problem." He predicted that the book "will make literary history, that because of it women are going to find their own voice and give us great sagas of sex, life, joy, and adventure." Time called Fear of Flying "a raunchy, anarchic account of a woman’s sexual escapades conducted with a Tom Jones lusty disregard for convention, taste or conscience…. It is also an ICBM in the war between the sexes." By 1999, there would be fifteen million copies in print.
