Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 498 pages. Published in 1997. Massive Oral Biography on subject. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. Presents George Plimpton's "Truman Capote: In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances, And Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career". Engrossing and almost definitive as such. "Nobody can match George Plimpton as an adroit weaver of interviews into a tight narrative fabric. His book doesn't knock the biography, 'Capote', off the shelf, but it's so much more fun to read. Brimming with important literary history" (Tim Appelo). Another legendary writer explained to Plimpton why Capote was the Real Thing and F. Scott Fitzgerald's successor, despite the unavoidable distractions of celebrity and reality: "The scene stirring with rightness and strangeness, the compressed phrase, the exact yet imaginative word, the devastating metaphorical aptness, a feeling of concentrated excess which at the same time gives the effect of being crystalline" (James Dickey). About Plimpton: By the time he died in 2003, George Plimpton himself became one of the iconic American figures of our time. Prolific writer, Founder of The Paris Review, actor, ornithologist, athlete, and one of the closest friends of Robert F. Kennedy, he famously wrestled and pinned Sirhan Sirhan to the ground after the latter assassinated Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The basis of not one but two film classics, "Capote" (2005) by Bennett Miller, with Philip Seymour Hoffman in his Academy Award-winning performance, and "Infamous" (2006) by Douglas MacGrath, with Toby Jones, in an equalling enthralling performance. An absolute "must-have" title for Truman Capote and George Plimpton collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by George Plimpton. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the best American writers of our time on one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER TRUMAN CAPOTE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0385232497.

Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 170 pages. Published in 1978. Rare High Times Magazine, Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, and Peter Beard collectible item. A near-fine copy of the legendary and enduring magazine's December 1978 Double Holiday Issue. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited one-time-only print run as a softcover magazine only. There is no ISBN. The Magazine Issue is now very rare. Presents High Times Magazine's Holiday Double Issue. Features Truman Capote (as older stand-in for kids) and Andy Warhol (as Santa Claus) on the Cover and a lovely Special Feature within. The latter is "A Christmas Carol", with lyrics by Truman Capote and original design by Andy Warhol. Capote insists he does not want anything for himself for Christmas. But he has a very long Wish List for personalities, celebrities, and nemeses for Santa, notably a sex-change operation of Jacqueline Kennedy and an ambassadorship for Gore Vidal to Paraguay, where Capote hopes he stays forever. This marks not only their very first - and only - appearance in High Times Magazine, but their very first - and only - Magazine Cover Appearance together anywhere. The Issue also has a rare, fascinating, and illuminating Interview with Peter Beard, the late great photographer/artist/writer/bohemian/pioneering environmentalist, then largely unknown to the American public, but one of the living heroes of High Times Magazine, the enduring advocacy magazine by "High Society". High, that is, on marijuana, whose acceptance has finally come in our time. An absolute "must-have" title for High Times Magazine, Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, and Peter Beard collectors. This title is a great Issue. It is very prominently and beautifully facsimile-signed (pre-printed) on their Contribution by Truman Capote and Andy Warhol, something they have never done before. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the High Times Magazine Holiday Double Issue available online and despite its imperfection (very slight wear on the cover, but it's there) is still in fine condition overall: Well-preserved, clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful copy we have ever seen. Now protected in its own plastic sheet for posterity. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with photographic plates. A fine copy. …
