Description

New York: Thomas Dunne Books, St Martin's Press, 2006. This fascinating biography of movie actress Mae West is in New condition with a New dust jacket. Although Mae herself once wrote an autobiography, author Simon Louvish makes use of Mae's recently uncovered personal papers to separates fact from fiction, some of the fiction generated by Mae herself, in this definitive work about the great comedienne, who single-handedly gave ulcers to Hollywood's censors while she pushed boundaries with her wise-cracking brand of sexual humor. The book includes numerous photos. The book is bound in black boards with die-stamped silver spine lettering. I've placed the dust jacket into a Brodart protective sleeve. The book measures 5 3/4 by 8 1/2 inches and includes 491 pages, with Index.. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
