Uncorrected proof of Wilhelm's 21st book, a humorous romance thriller. But then, she's always been hard to categorize as a writer. Slight indications that a reviewer might have read this copy, but very close to as-issued.

Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. Accompanied by a copy of the film tie-in novel, DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN by Susan Dworkin (first edition), and a long letter from Wilhelm to an editor, conveying the books to him and asking for an expert opinion on similarities between the two texts. His notes are in hand on the back of the letter (the matter was dropped by the author). A fascinating look into potential movie plagiarism -- or astonishing coincidence. A fine copy in near fine dust jacket with some dust soiling to white background. (#105971)
