Hardcover. nice clean copy with just the teensiest bit of shelfwear; the jacket is similarly nice with only some minimal wear along the top edge light surface-scratching to the rear panel. A Hollywood novel of sorts set in both Rome and California about the love affair between a beautiful Italian film star and a "somewhat balding" middle-aged Jewish American screenwriter.
