Cities of the Red Night: A Boy's Book (Joan Didion's copy)
Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1981. First edition. Hardcover. Association copy: a softcover uncorrected proof from the library of Joan Didion, with a short signed letter dated 1980 from the director of advertising, publicity and promotion at the publisher conveying the proof to her in Los Angeles and asking for praise. A nice association between a countercultural Beat icon and one of the greatest documenters of counterculture. An extra-tall octavo in purple (lavender) wraps. Very good, with sunning to the top of the front cover as well as to spine, and a few light creases to corners of front wrap. A paper clip is attached to top of first page, with attendant impressions to page and to letter, which is otherwise fine. We invite you to explore our growing collection of signed and inscribed Didion items, including other books from her own library.. Very good. Item #944
