The World of Henry Orient

[light external staining at bottom of both covers, no other significant wear, bookplate on front endpaper; the jacket is a bit tattered with shallow chipping along the top and bottom edges, the bottom right corner of the front panel somewhat mangled, etc.] Highly amusing novel, the author's first, about a pair of New York schoolgirls who spin their mutual crush on "a seedy concert pianist of dubious talent, whose private life consists mostly of meeting women in bars," into a full-blown fan-obsession, back in the day before the invention of "stalking," when such things weren't yet ultra-creepy. Basis for the wacky 1964 movie starring Peter Sellers.
