A propos de cet article

[minor edgewear to covers, otherwise as-new]. Trade PB (B&W photographs, facsimile documents) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the inside front cover: "To Hal, / Best Wishes / Always, / Bill Nelson / 6-16-99." A deep dive by a self-proclaimed "investigative journalist" into the post-murder lives of the Manson Family, with chapters devoted to each of thirteen individuals (including Charles Manson himself) and often enlivened with excerpts from interviews and correspondence with the subjects. Although there is plenty of information about the Tate-LaBianca murders themselves, the book is primarily about what all the various people got up to in the succeeding decades, and is essentially Nelson's own narrative about investigating their activities, which often involved establishing personal relationships with them. The author clearly worked hard at this, over the course of decades; among the people he was able to get close to was Sharon Tate's mother Doris. The book also touts a "world exclusive" interview with William Garretson, the only survivor of the Family's murder spree; only nineteen at the time, he was the caretaker at the Cielo Drive house, and was briefly considered a suspect. Warning: the book reproduces (although not very well) a number of quite explicit crime-scene photographs -- but at the same time, assures the reader that no "bad language" is contained in the book, as he has replaced all instances of such with "XXX." Toward the end of the book, he also veers into writing about the never-solved "Zodiac" murders that took place in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1960s, although I'm not sure what connection he was trying to establish with the Manson killings. Nelson's c.v. as a journalist (apart from his obvious obsession with all things Manson) seems mighty thin, and as a narrative, the book is kind of all over the map, and sometimes veers into the arcane: if you want to know, for instance, all the individual dates between 1993 and 1996 that the still-incarcerated Charles "Tex" Watson had conjugal visitations from his wife (by means of which they were able to conceive four chidren), this is the book for you! Of some "associational" interest: the "Hal" to whom this copy is inscribed was agent Harold Gefsky, who was Sharon Tate's first agent when she moved to Los Angeles in 1962. Apparently self-published, and quite scarce. Signed by Author.…

Description de la boutique

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
