About This Item
Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc, 1986. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Phillips (1935-2001), founder and songwriter of the group The Mamas and the Papas, recounts his life and career from childhood to stardom to drug busts, in this startling and reflective look at the turbulent, dope-crazed decade of the 1960s and beyond. Octavo: 444 p. with numerous textual photographs and illustrations. Original black paper-covered boards over a burgundy cloth spine, with gilt titles. A crisp, apparently unread copy. Just a hint of edgewear to the dust jacket; else near fine.
