Hardback. Prentice Hall. USA. 1970. Hardback with dj. Third impression. SIGNED BY AUTHOR 'Michael' with dedication to previous owner 'Pat'. See scans. Scarce thus. Michael Zwerin was instrumental in the 'Cool Jazz' movement. A musician, businessman and writer, the author chronicles the struggle faced by those caught in the grip of drug addiction. Dj is slightly faded to spine with minor rub to top and bottom of spine. Fine, closed nick to back of dj, a little sunning to edges, but overall a very good, unclipped dj. Contents bear a long message from author to previous owner from his time when he lived in London. Otherwise contents are without other writing etc. An interesting item from someone who struggled with addiction himself. Not exlib and packed and sent with care.
