Harmony Books, 1992. First Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾"- 9¾" tall. A great copy of this brilliant postmodern novel by noted weirdo Leyner. Totally undescribable meta novel staring the character of newly famous and in-demand author Mark Leyner, yet this is undeniably fiction (unless someone does offer a service whereby any actor in a film of your choosing can be replaced with Arnold Schwarzenegger). First printing, fine in a very nearly fine jacket.
