About This Item

New York: Harper & Row, 1970. First edition of Kay Thompson's satirical account of a New York teenager's dating life, arranged alphabetically in Pooky Peckinpaugh's "secret private boyfriends book." A dreamier, less tyrannical presence than Thompson's famous Eloise, Pooky spends most of her entries venting her frustration with the unobtainable boys she meets, only to end each page with a plaintive call: "Oh GOOD GAG GIG You're GORGEOUS;" "Oh NEDDY NOD to me or I'll NEVER notice you again;" "Oh Willy YOU worm. . . What's with the WEEKEND? WHERE? WHEN?" A very good copy of a comic period piece, from the days when a telephone book was a genre of its own. Single volume, measuring 11 x 7.5 inches: [30]. Original pictorial boards stamped in black, original clipped pictorial dust jacket. Minor discoloration to boards; offsetting to endpapers; edgewear and faint tidemark to dust jacket, with a few tape repairs to verso.
