About This Item
New York: Grossman Publ.; Random House; New American Libr., (1965, 1967, 1972). First edition of all three volumes. From the collection of Paul "Dr. Z" Zimmerman. Early works by the novelist, Pop artist, playwright, and former professional wrestler ("Rosa Carlo, the Mexican Spitfire"). I AM THE BEAUTIFUL STRANGER (her first novel, Grossman: 1965) is fine in near fine dust jacket with Zimmerman's characteristically tiny penciled notations on rear blank. THE LINE OF LEAST EXISTENCE (her second play, Random House: 1967) shows slight fading at head of spine but is otherwise fine in dust jacket with crease and several short tears to head of spine. TO SMITHEREENS (her third novel, NAL: 1972) shows fading to base of spine but is otherwise fine in fine dust jacket with just few tiny nicks--and is INSCRIBED TO ZIMMERMAN, "To Paul, in admiration, Rosalyn Drexler." Altogether a near fine set, with the last volume being INSCRIBED.
