First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: USED_FINE. Steven Appleby (illustrator). 1st Edition. A real nice clean unmarked 256 page first edition (stated) hardcover with full number line. Illustrated through by steven Appleby. From Pixies front man, Black Francis, comes a bold and visually arresting illustrated novel about art, conflict, and the origins of a certain type of cinema. Loosely based on historical events, The Good Inn follows the lone survivor of the Iéna explosion as he makes his way through the French countryside, has a sexual adventure with an innkeeper's daughter, and even more deeply into a strange counter universe. It is a volatile world where war and art exist side by side. It is also the very real story of the people who made the first narrative pornographic film. The novel weaves together real historical facts to recreate this lost piece of history, as seen through the eyes of a shell-shocked soldier who finds himself the subject and star of the world's first stag film. Size: 8 1/4h x 6w. Book.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition (near perfect copy has small nick/dig in spinal-top gutter). 'From Pixies front man Black Francis, collaborating with writer Josh Frank & illustrator Steven Appleby, comes THE GOOD INN, a bold & visually arresting novel about art, conflict & the origins of a certain type of cinema.'[]"In 1907, the French battleship Iena was destroyed when a nitrocellulose-based weapon propellant it was carrying became unstable with age and self-ignited, killing 120 people. A year later, LA BONNE AUBERGE became the earliest-known pornographic film, depicting an intimate encounter between a French soldier and an innkeeper's daughter. Like all films at the time, and for decades afterward, it was made with a highly combustible nitrocellulose-based film stock. Loosely based on historical events, THE GOOD INN follows the lone survivor of the Iena explosion as he makes his way through the French countryside. He falls into a strange love affair with an innkeeper's daughter and, even more deeply, into a volatile counter-universe where war and art exist side by side. But THE GOOD INN is also the very real story of the people who made the world's first stag film, and Black Francis weaves together real historical facts to re-create this lost piece of history, as seen through the eyes of a shell-shocked soldier who finds himself that film's subject and star. Through his journey we explore the power of memory, the simultaneously destructive and restorative power of light, and how the early pioneers of pornography helped shape the film industry for generations to come." [cover copy] Fine (clean & unread) hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases & no jacket as issued. Quite presentable.
