FAN MAIL, FRANK LETTERS, AND CRANK CALLS

By Cookie Mueller
1988

Scarce title by actress, writer, and general legend Cookie Mueller.

Very good plus in very good plus jacket.

"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, FRED! THIS IS MY LIFE! GOD HELP ME, WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?"

One of two Hanuman titles whose shipment from the Madras printer to New York was imperiled by obscenity charges, in this case due to a photo of a Priapus statue looking very like himself. Unimpeachably classical, but as Mueller herself notes in one Letter, "a little antiquity goes a long way." Hanuman Books No. 15, edited and published by Raymond Foye and Francesco Clemente.
