by NEMEROV, Howard
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1957. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition. Small stain on the front endpaper and to the foredge else about fine in an about very good dustwrapper with some loss at the spinal extremities and some other general wear. A scarce novel by an author better known for his poetry, and a book that spawned a small industry: it was the basis for the hit Broadway play, *Tall Story*, and for the movie of the same name which featured Jane Fonda in her first role as a star struck coed in pursuit of a husband, basketball player Anthony Perkins.
