by Zappa, Frank with Peter Occhiogrosso
New York: Poseidon Press, 1989. First printing. Near fine in a fine jacket.. Signed first edition of Zappa's autobiography, published just a year before his prostate-cancer diagnosis - a review copy. Arch and opinionated memoir from the legendary guitarist, songwriter, performer, and bandleader, told in his singular and indelible voice. Decidedly scarce signed. 9'' x 6''. Original quarter red cloth over black boards. In original unclipped ($19.95) photographic dust jacket. 352 pages. Signed by Zappa on the front endpaper. Review copy with promo photo of Zappa and publisher press release loosely laid in. Very slight lean to book. Some uneven toning to pages due to different stocks. Else clean, sharp, and bright.
