Description:
This book was purchased in 2007 at the time of publication, the dust jacket was carefully covered with a clear jacket protector, then carefully stored until the present time. It is unread and for all practical purposes it is new./>For BIBLIO, I acquire and list books I consider to be "collectible." The books, though sometimes common, are in large part, First Editions/First Printings. They will arrive in clear dust jacket protectors. I will occasionally list books that are in less than fine or near fine condition, but those books may have other compelling features that make them collectible.

New York: Alfred A. Knopf; A Borzoi Book, 2007. xii, 242 pages, illustrations; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Fine DJ. The first rule of biography, wrote Justin Kaplan: 'Shoot the widow.' In her new book, Meryle Secrest, acclaimed biographer ('Knowing, sympathetic and entertainingly droll'--The New York Times), writes about her comic triumphs and misadventures as a biographer in search of her nine celebrated subjects, about how the hunt for a 'life' is like working one's way through a maze, full of fall starts, dead ends, and occasional clear passages leading to the next part of the puzzle.
