About This Item
New York Toronto: Alfred A. Knopf, 2015. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. Pp. [16, 3-253, [7]. Illustrated throughout with 55 black & white photographs, mostly by Patti Smith. Bound in maroon cloth with silver letting on spine. In the dust jacket with $25.00 price intact on the front flap, publisher's decal "Signed First Edition" on the front panel. Signed by Patti Smith on a leaf tipped in behind the front free endpaper by the publisher. A bright, fresh copy of the first printing of the first edition. That in 2005 Smith was awarded the Commandeur des Art et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture, and won the National Book Award in 2010 is a curious sequence of recognition: Often America's notable cultural icons are revered by institutions abroad before domestic tributes are bestowed. Dust jacket is now preserved in a clear, removable archival sleeve.
Synopsis
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee presents reflections on her inner life from the unique perspectives of the cafés and cultural haunts she has visited and worked in around the world.
