A propos de cet article

[very slight wear to one lower corner, otherwise clean and nice; the jacket has some very slight edgewear and a couple of tiny nicks at the spine ends, and is just a touch faded along the spine]. The author, "daughter of a Runyonesque fight promoter, has raced through headlines, prison gates, revolutions, and romance. These are her true adventures -- life in the fast lane with rich and dangerous people. Hymie Caplan [her father] used to carry his 'beautiful Babsie' to his gym, where the tiny child entranced his boxers with her lilting songs. One of the gym's regulars, Damon Runyon, told Barbara years later that she was the original model for his famous Little Miss Marker." (Boxrec-dot-com describes Hymie Caplan as "a colorful and popular New York-based boxing manager known as 'Howling Hymie. [He] lived with his fighters around the clock when they were in training while simultaneously managing their business affairs [and] proved extremely effective in both regards. During a ten year span he steered five fighters to world championships." He also, per the jacket blurb, went to jail "on a bum rap" when Barbara was seven years old, and her mother died while he was serving his sentence; her subsequent life had plenty of twists and turns, involving "romances with heads of state, hair-raising escapades with the drug-laden jet set, a spiritual pilgrimage with a holy swami, a passionate secret affair with a famous playwright," and more! (This was actually her second memoir; the previous book (published in 1976) was called "Beautifully Kept," and chronicled her experiences as a mistress to several rich and powerful men.) ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.

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.…
