Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 105 pages. Published in 2015. Retrospective collection of personal essays, with accompanying vintage photographs. One of Truman Capote's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run by The Little Bookroom as a not-so-little, full-fledged hardcover original only. It is a significant expansion of the publisher's previous pocket volume, "A House On The Heights" (2002), and incorporates the original essay George Plimpton wrote for the latter. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Truman Capote's "Brooklyn: A Personal Memoir". Interspersed with the re-discovered photographs of Brooklyn by David Attie, which rank with the work of Helen Levitt. "The tranquil life Truman Capote led in the quiet enclave of Brooklyn Heights in the 1950's and 1960's stood in sharp contrast to the glittering scene he adored in Manhattan. Vividly evokes the neighborhood that Capote came to know well and described as Brooklyn's 'splendid contradictions'. Its denizens, including a celebrated Russian spy, a globe-trotting antiquarian, and a cat-rescuing dowager with a pointed social agenda, bring to life the Brooklyn that cast its spell over Capote. He meanders through a special time and place still recognizable today" (Publisher's blurb). Brooklyn is cool again, for good. As it was for the young Capote, it is home to some of the most celebrated writers and cutting-edge artists, photographers, and filmmakers of our time. Capote's reminiscenses are some of his finest work. For the sheer beauty of his prose, they are gems of American "portrait" writing. An absolute "must-have" title for Truman Capote collectors. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is one of the most beautiful copies we have ever seen. Please note: ALL other copies available online have very serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings even if their dealers don't say so. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with splendid black-and-white vintage photographs. Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" is widely regarded as one of the greatest books of the 20th century. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER TRUMAN CAPOTE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1936941112. no.…
