A Youth in Babylon: Confessions of a Trash-Film King

[light foxing to the edges of the text block, otherwise as-new with no discernible wear; the jacket shows just the teensiest bit of surface wear, with a slight wrinkle at the base of the spine]. Autobiography of "the emperor of exploitation films," the producer of BLOOD FEAST, SHE FREAK, ILSA: SHE WOLF OF THE SS, among other cinematic excrementa. Friedman "perfected the fine art of sleaze and delightfully admits that he has hurled more garbage at the public than anyone else before or sense. This book is as much his story as it is the history of an idea that in recent times has enjoyed a remarkable rebirth. [He] writes with gusto of the glory days when there were taboos to be broken and untold amounts of money to be made." (NOTE to browsers: does this copy seem a bit expensive compared to some of the others listed online Here's why: because our copy is a real book, sitting right here on our shelves, whereas many of those other offerings are likely "phantom" books, that may (or may not) have their dust jackets, may (or may not) be ex-library books, may (or may not) have markings or other flaws. Go ahead: check out the other "booksellers" offering the book, and you'll see that most of them are offering MILLIONS of books for sale, nearly all of which are described generically and illustrated with stock photos, which may (or may not) look anything like the actual book they have for sale -- IF they do. (More than likely they don't, but will try sourcing it from somewhere else, if they can, after they've taken your money.) By contrast: buy our copy, which is sitting right here -- that's a photo of it, accompanying this listing -- and it will be in the mail to you within 48 hours, no muss, no fuss.)
