Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is the classic memoir of legendary standup comic LENNY BRUCE--the book is an unstated First Edition 1967 Playboy Press Book mass market paperback copy. This book is in SUPERB condition and has slight creases on the spine edges of the covers, a very slight thumb crease on the lower right edge and center of the front surface, tiny dings on the upper right and lower left tips of the back surface and just slight shelfwear otherwise but no other significant flaws! The book is titled How to Talk Dirty and Influence People: An Autobiography and it was written by LENNY BRUCE; it was published by Playboy Press Books in 1967 and is an unstated 1st Edition copy.During the course of a career that began in the late 1940s, Lenny Bruce challenged the sanctity of organized religion and other societal and political conventions; he widened the boundaries of free speech. Critic Ralph Gleason said, "So many taboos have been lifted and so many comics have rushed through the doors Lenny opened. He utterly changed the world of comedy". Although Bruce died when he was only 40, his influence on the worlds of comedy, jazz, and satire are incalculable. How to Talk Dirty and Influence People remains a brilliant existential account of his life and the forces that made him the most important and controversial entertainer in history. A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
