The introduction by Michael Baldwin notes that 'Notebooks of a Naked youth is a wicked, funny, preposterous book of a gigantic scope and power, stunningly important like all of Billy Childish's work, and so tough to describe that I can only urge everyone with an interest in the contemporary scene to beg, borrow, buy or otherwise hijack a copy immediately'.

Externally, smart, with just a few handling marks to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright, with just the occasional handling mark. Very Good Indeed. book.
