Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. STEIN, Jean; PLIMPTON, George (Editor). Edie: An American Biography. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1982. FIRST EDITION.

This book is an enthralling oral history of Edie told by her family and friends, including Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Norman Mailer, Jasper Johns, Gore Vidal, Roy Lichtenstein, John Cage, and Patti Smith.

So spoke American artist William Walton, an old friend of the Kennedys and Chairman of the Commission of Fine Arts.
