About this Item

Near-fine with trace of tanning to top edge of boards and tiny spot on front board, otherwise crisp and clean inside and out (appears unread). In a near-fine dust jacket with corresponding slight tanning to top edge and a touch of soiling to spine ends. A beautiful copy of Didion's second book. 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 countercultural center. In contrast to the more Utopian image of the milieu promoted by counterculture sympathizers of the day, Didion offers a rather grim portrayal of the goings-on. Seller Inventory # 008997
