An uncommon first hardcover edition of Lebowitz’s 1981 collection of essays.

The author’s second book covers life in New York in the 1970s in her usual deadpan style.

This copy is made much more rare in that it is signed by Lebowitz with a drawing of a frowning face smoking a cigarette.

While Lebowitz signatures are not insanely rare, those with this drawing from such early works are.

This copy shows the honest age of a well-loved book.
