Decorative Cloth. Condition: Book condition Fine. Limited Numbered First Edition. A handsome Limited Numbered First Edition signed by the author on the limitation page in the back and numbered #15 of 300 limited First Editions. Published by Lord John Press; this book is from library of the late Lord John publisher, Herb Yellin. Herb Yellin's number was almost always #15 for the books he published, unless the book listed his name instead of a number, which many of the books did. In fine condition bound in quarter cloth and decorative paper boards. Enclosed in a matching brown cloth slipcase that has the lightest touches of wear. A nice copy A compact delight of a book about Mailer's experiences and thoughts on TV and the "dirty literary game" the medium inspired between himself and Gore Vidal. In response to a rowdy audience during one TV interview, Mailer once addressed his attitude as: "I answer crudely because I'm crude and a lout and a clod, that's why." A note about the value of Lord John Editions and the number "15": Herb Yellin, widely recognized as one of the most influential publishers in contemporary times, dedicated himself to crafting collector's edition publications. The imprint of his press, Lord John Press, specializes in compiling smaller works from renowned authors-poems, short stories, essays-meticulously presenting them in the highest caliber collector's editions. From page quality to typesetting and cover board designs, Yellin's commitment to excellence was unwavering. His prolific publishing extended to a significant volume of John Updike's works, leading the author to jest that in the event of losing his library, Herb Yellin could serve as a one-stop replacement. Many collectors valued Yellin's library for the consistent quality it offered. An avid reader and collector himself, Yellin not only published for fellow enthusiasts but also left behind a legacy of books that not only captivate the eye but also provide a tactile pleasure with their superior paper and material quality. Herb Yellin's personal collection included the coveted #15 of the signed, numbered editions published by Lord John Press. This particular edition, made available through the Herb Yellin estate, holds a special significance due to its provenance. Collectors and gift givers alike cherish signed editions from Lord John Press, as they present not only exceptional book quality in limited editions but also bear the signature of the author, offering a unique glimpse into their work rarely found in such finely bound presentations.
