1976D15072New York: Random House 1976. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Original cloth lacking DJ. With the initials TC in pencil at the front and an auction slip from Bonhams laid in. From the library of Truman Capote auctioned off in parts in New York at Bonhams on November 9 2006. Following Capote's death in 1984 many of Capote's belongings including his library were passed on to his dear friend Joanne Carson wife of Johnny Carson. She became "the loving custodian of these treasures" for several decades until they were dispersed by Bonham's. A nice opportunity to acquire a book from the library of one of America's most colorful and controversial authors. Capote and Vidal had an interesting relationship rather testy at times. <br/><br/> Random House hardcover books
