Hardback. Etat : Good. Fun While It Lasted (1970) By Barnaby Conrad | Michael Joseph ISBN: 071810773X Condition: Good (charmingly used, still fully functional) Offered by: Crappy Old Books With a title like Fun While It Lasted , you?d be forgiven for assuming this is a memoir of a questionable relationship, a doomed career, or a long weekend in 1968. In fact, it?s Barnaby Conrad?which usually means bullfighting, barrooms, bizarre encounters and an unhealthy tolerance for adventure . This 1970 Michael Joseph hardback arrives from an age when people went out into the world, did ridiculous things, and then wrote books about it instead of just posting three photos and forgetting the whole experience. What you?re in for Barnaby Conrad is not a man who specialised in sitting quietly at home. Between matador training, bar ownership, art, writing, and knowing half the interesting people of his era, he?s the sort of narrator who: Treats near-death anecdotes as light icebreakers. Has met more characters in one year than most of us meet in a lifetime. Tells stories with that effortless, slightly dangerous charisma that makes you think, ?I would absolutely have made bad decisions with this man in the 60s.? Expect: A lively blend of reminiscence, misadventure, and wry reflection . A tone that sits somewhere between ?I can?t believe I survived that? and ?I?d probably do it again? The distinct whiff of an era when health and safety, emotional boundaries and sensible life planning were? optional. This particular copy Condition: Good ? the respectable middle-ground of book life. The spine is sound , the boards decent, and the text block well-behaved. All pages present and attached, nothing fluttering away like Conrad?s better judgement. Expect some light wear : Mild rubbing to the edges Possibly a little fading or softening The kind of patina that says, ?Yes, someone actually read me, more than once, and probably enjoyed it.? Not a precious artefact; not a wreck. Just a proper Good copy: tidy, honest, and ready for another round. Why this book hits differently In a world of curated experiences and carefully filtered chaos, Conrad offers old-school, analogue living : Adventures that happened without GPS, Instagram or a group chat to talk him out of it. People who are larger-than-life without branding teams or publicists. Situations that would today generate twelve safety briefings, three HR forms and a strongly worded thinkpiece. It?s a reminder of a time when: You could make terrible choices in glamorous locations and call it experience . Stories were gathered the hard way, not assembled by scrolling. ?Fun while it lasted? wasn?t just a shrug?it was practically a philosophy. Condition vs. Content Physically: Good Perfectly suited for armchairs, trains, bathtubs (carefully), and quiet afternoons when real life feels unreasonably sensible. Emotionally: Slightly chaotic Cheerfully nostalgic Fully prepared to make your own life look timid by comparison You are not buying this as a pristine investment piece. You?re buying it to actually read , maybe dog-ear, perhaps lend to a friend you suspect might be too reasonable for their own good. Ideal for: Fans of mid-20th-century literary rogues who drank too much, travelled too far and remembered just enough to write it down. Readers who like memoirs with texture, humour and a faint sense that someone should have called the authorities at several points. Anyone who suspects they were born about forty years too late for the kind of carefree recklessness Conrad treats as Tuesday. People who enjoy the quiet comedy of buying a book called Fun While It Lasted from a place called Crappy Old Books . Cheerfully supplied by Crappy Old Books , where the adventures are second-hand, the condition is Good, and the fun?mercifully?lasts longer than the hangovers that originally produced it.

Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Conrad, Barnaby (illustrateur). First Edition. First UK edition. A Very Good + unmarked copy with VG complete dustjacket. The author is a well known American who has worn many hats - a vice consul to Spain, amateur bullfighter, art teacher, author, secretary to Sinclair Lewis, socialite, raconteur, are just a few in his long life. He was acquainted with many famous people and this autobiography is replete with them and also with delightful drawings by the author. It begins at Sardi's in New York with a marvellously funny conversation with Noel Coward and Eva Gabor and ends with his collecting famous and infamous last words such as the poisoner William Palmer's, who just before his hanging asked 'is it safe'.
