Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Near-fine with slight tanning to top edge of boards, otherwise clean and tight. In a very good plus dust jacket ($4.95 price intact) with a touch of wear at spine ends and corners, and faint stain to top and bottom of spine. A very nice copy of Didion's scarce second book, perhaps her most renowned. In it she describes her experiences in California during the 1960s, most famously her impressions of the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco during the neighborhood's heyday as a counter-cultural center. In contrast to the more Utopian image of the milieu promoted by counterculture sympathizers then and now, Didion offers a rather grim portrayal of the goings-on.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Washington Square Press, New York. 1981. 236 pages. Wraps. Signed by Joan Didion on the first page: To ____, Regards, Joan Didion. First Washington Square Press edition, second printing. Book is tight and clean. Minor light handling along exterior edges. No reader's crease on spine. First couple of pages have a very shallow, faint cloud outline towards bottom page edges; none whatsoever on bottom edges. The New York Times espoused this work as "a rich display of some of the best prose written today in this country" and the Atlantic called it a "phenomenon" in turn creating Joan Didion's devoted readership, and cult-like following in modern day America. Joan Didion's most influential book; Signed.

Perhaps Didion's most famous work, the essays capture the cultural and social upheaval of America in the 1960s.

A very good copy in a very good, price-clipped dust jacket. Binding remains tight and sturdy, minimal wear to boards, a bit of discoloration to board extremities. Internally clean with no markings.

"In 'Slouching Towards Bethlehem,' Miss Didion has brought together the best of her nonfiction writing, keynoted by her extraordinary report on life among the hippies of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. This essay, a brilliant evocation of the life style of the 'flower generation', sets the tone of the book, both in its very personal confrontation between author and subject, and in its underlying theme."-- from DJ.

First edition of this Everyman's Library's compilation of the author's collected non-fiction work. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Joan Didion on the title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Introduction by John Leonard. Rare and desirable signed. "I have been trying forever to figure out why [Didion s] sentences are better than mine or yours . . . Something about [their] cadence. They come at you, if not from ambush, then in gnomic haikus, ice pick laser beams, or waves. Even the space on the page around these sentences is more interesting than it ought to be, as if to square a sandbox for a Sphinx" (John Leonard).
