About This Item
Garden City NY: Doubleday & Co.. Very Good in Near Fine dj. 1968. First Edition. Hardcover. [good solid copy, book appears Near Fine until you peek under the jacket and see that there has been fading to the green cloth (from dampness) along the edges of both covers -- NOT "water-damaged," since the interior of the book is completely unaffected and there is no warping or other damage to the covers (believe me, leave the jacket on and you'll never notice it); the jacket itself is clean and bright, with just some minimal edgewear]. Scarce novel (the author's first) about young Americans (of the "now" generation) in Paris. "Lillian was a beautiful, groovy bird in today's mod-hippy Paris. She did all the rave things: attended Destructivist art shows, painted protest signs on Paris Police stations, rolled joints for pot-loving boyfriends, wore vinyl raincoats with nothing underneath. Lillian was a swinger. Lillian never blew her cool -- until she met the square, of all things, who became her bag. She managed to keep her cool (well, almost!) through it all, but she was shaken right down to the foundations of her wonderful little mod-hippy philosophy." .

A lonely toy bear on an empty shop shelf on Christmas Eve in 1956 first captured the attention of Michael Bond, who kindly shared Paddington with the world.
