This copy has been inscribed in black flair ink by Andy Warhol at the top of the front endpaper to the late D.D. Ryan of Harper's Bazaar Fashion Fame: "to D.D. love Andy" and decorated with a drawing of a vagina. D.D. Ryan (Dorinda Dixon Ryan), was a fashion designer at Harper's Bazaar where she worked with Diana Vreeland and Richard Avedon. Included in Dorinda's circle of friends were: Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, Hilary Knight, Kay Thompson, and many others. D.D. was married to John Barry Ryan, III, and the couple is mentioned in Frewin's book "The Late Mrs. Dorothy Parker" on p.305 in a paragraph listing a gathering "of social notables." Popism was co-authored by Warhol's frequent collaborator and long-time friend, Pat Hackett, and covers the years 1960-1969, focusing primarily on Warhol's art and film work. It includes anecdotes about celebrities and infamous Factory characters. It is culled in part from the many reels of audio tape that Warhol obsessively recorded during that period.
