inscribed by the author to Leslie Bricusse

One of the great works of twentieth century journalism and the author's second masterpiece. Inscribed by the author to two-time Academy Award-winning composer Leslie Bricusse on the half-title: 'For Leslie Bricusse / from / Truman Capote'.

First edition, first printing, inscribed by the author; 8vo; original burgundy cloth, titles to upper board and spine in gold and silver, dark blue topstain, burgundy endpapers, with the price-clipped dustjacket. Couple of splash marks to top edge but an excellent copy in the tanned dustjacket with a few odd nicks and light rubbing to extremities.
