London & New York: W H Allen, 1972. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Near fine - a bright tight copy. First UK edition, first impression. Octavo in original red boards with gilt title to spine, 193 pages. Some colour bleed from red boards to inside of dustjacket. After being dumped by her partner, plain Jane becomes a celebrated designer, has a total face and wardrobe make-over, and gains scores of ardent admirers. Her partner, of course, returns to beg for forgiveness. You wish! An hilarious cult autobiographical fantasy. Scarce.
