Breakfast at Tiffany's: A Short Novel and Three Stories

New York: Random House. Very Good+. (c.1958). 2nd printing. Hardcover. (lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [a good sound copy, a couple of tiny smudges on front cover, the teensiest bit of fraying to the upper front corner]. Probably Capote's most "beloved" work -- or at least the basis for a beloved-by-some 1961 movie (despite certain embarrassing aspects, e.g. Mickey Rooney's performance). Capote himself felt that "Breakfast" represented the beginning of a "second career" in terms of his prose style. The volume also contains the stories "A Diamond Guitar," "A Christmas Memory" and "House of Flowers." An attractive place-holder while you're saving up for a (very pricey) first edition. NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing. .
