Brodie, Fawn No Man Knows My History
NY Knopf 1966 8th Pr. Hard Cover Very Good+ Very Good-
Splendid harcover copy, spine gilt pefect. Two notable flaws are present, very minor, hard to see, bit of sunfade top of front board. Also. some creasing of Mormon Country gate fold map after 466th page presumably from improper closure, quite minor. Book unmarked, unbumped. Jacket has notable charm, no large chips out, but many short tears, spine sunning, in new mylar wrapper. I rarely editorialize about our books, suffice it to say, in this case, that I think this is the finest biographical writing I have ever read. Brodie had courage, nerve, and was an unflinchingly honest, thorough chronicler of her subjects. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. Books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described, and graded, using the strict, traditional standards. For this reason, we have virtually zero returns.*
