FIRST EDITION [1987] PENGUIN BOOKS

Exclusively published in Trade Paperback form by Penguin Books. 

Book is in very good condition.  Cover is clean and binding is tight and unworn.  Has some light shelf wear and a crease to back cover.

Overall, reads beautifully, with a page or two showing a few very minor spots of discoloration [see last photo.]  

The illuminating, shocking, humorous diary, and sequel to The Basketball Diaries, that tells all of the sex, the drugs and the atmosphere of New York in the late '60s and early '70s. A supremely entertaining book that will expand the legion of Carroll's fans.
