Item description from seller

Fine condition silver boards/black cloth spine/gold and red spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote; Acknowledgments; Author's Note; and Court Documents. 2nd Printing. "She was called the "Strumpet with a Trumpet." A woman with countless lovers of both sexes. A gold digger. A drug addict. She was caught at the center of the highly publicized scandalous divorce trial that rocked Palm Beach and shocked the nation. She had anything she could have wanted, and then, in one fell swoop, everything was lost -- her house, her husband and, most painful of all, her children. And now, at last, Roxanne Pulitzer has chosen to tell her story. The real story behind the sensational headlines and steamy photographs. Finally, The Prize Pulitzer answers all of the questions about: Jacquie Kimberly, the very young wife of Kleenex heir Jim Kimberly; she was accused in the trial of being Roxanne's lover. Liza Pulitzer, Roxanne's stepdaughter, who had a close relationship with her father and a not so close one with Roxanne. Herbert Pulitzer, the Palm Beach socialite who cherished his image of being a "self-made man," and the power he wielded over those around him, including his wife. Palm Beach and its very rich "beautiful people," whose goal is to be seen at the right parties and photographed with the right people. In The Prize Pulitzer we find the real Roxanne Pulitzer -- a bright, funny, sexy woman. She tells how a small-town innocent young girl came to live the indulgent "sex, drugs and money" life of a Palm Beach socialite. We see a young woman very much in love with her older, richer, more powerful husband, and we see that love destroyed by betrayal and shocking cruelty. We then see a mother desperately fighting for the custody of her two sons, fighting a battle she can't win thanks to the overwhelming publicity and the power of the other side. We certainly see a woman wronged by the legal system, and by the Palm Beach society that first embraced her and then thrust her out into the cold. Roxanne is, in her own words, a "survivor." Her story -- fascinating, often warm and funny, sometimes chilling -- is a lesson in the dangers of living a dream come true, and in how quickly that dream can turn into a nightmare." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
