Seller's Description:
Very good. First Edition. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
A friend who frequently quotes from this book actually lent me his personal copy to read, but as it was obviously a much-loved little paperback and was an early printing at that, I found a mint condition copy (and in one piece!) through Alibiris and DEVOURED IT upon it's arrival... Often hilarious, often sweet though delusional, Madame Poitrine probably reminds us all of at least one acquaintance, albeit on an amazingly high level of histrionics. The liberally distributed photographs which accompany the text reveal more of Belle's "layers," and the face and figure which made it all possible... Definitely a Must Read.
