Really? I just pulled it out. It appears to be a first
paperback edition from Pyramid. However, it's kind of worn,
the bottom of spine ripped and taped. Still, I got it for
whatever was the minimum paperback price in the used
bookstore where I found it years ago -- 50-75 cents.
The cover copy says:
The most powerful novel of the world of teen-age gangs since
'The Amboy Dukes'
"A brutal and terrifying book, a deeply siginificant work of
art" -- The Cleveland Plain Dealer (ain't it slick how they
stuck the two lines together so it looks like it's all from a
review and the first one isn't just ad copy?)
Of course, this raised another question for me, is The Amboy
Dukes any good? Will it take me on a journey to the center of
my mind?
