About This Item

UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.FINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn,and no price-clip to dw/dj.To dw/dj front inner flap is a black ink date stamp,31 JUL 1972.Minimal shelf-wear to dw/dj edges with some light creasing to both head+foot of spine/backstrip and no nicks or tears.Top edge slightly dust-soiled and foxed with fore-edge clean with a light mark. Brown paper-covered boards with yellow ink impressed letters to spine/ backstrip and plain white endpapers.UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn,ixpp+ 314pp includes preface,epilogue,16pp b/w photographs and an index. The public account of how Clifford Irving perpetrated the literary hoax of the century has been a jumble of headlines and theories.But the complete,rich history has never been told - indeed,it has not been known.Now the authors of Hoax recount the bizarre tale in full for the first time.They talked to the friends,relatives,associates,prosecutors, and girl friends of all the principals - often enough,people with no previously acknowledged connection with the affair - and the revelations were astounding.It is a story with many extraordinary characters and odd coincidences,and it ranges from the high-powered struggles within one of America's largest and most mysterious industrial complexes to mellow lunchtime deals among acquisitive publishers;from the operation of Swiss banks to the folkways of American justice.The authors follow the action from its obscure beginnings to its guilty end. Please contact seller,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas customers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
