Illustrated with black and white photographs. One of the photos on the back panel shows Janie Jones with The Clash. ***Very good in black cloth-covered boards with silver titles to spine. With a fairly long but neat ink ownership inscription on the front free endpaper. Small stain on front free endpaper also. ***In a near fine colour illustrated dustwrapper, very slightly rubbed and browned at edges. Dustwrapper not price-clipped. Spine tight. No tears. ***245 pages including index. 240 mm x 168 mm. ***'1963 was the year of Beatlemania. Janie Jones, a miner's daughter from County Durham, had already established herself as a successful singer and dancer in London's most exclusive nightclubs. ***By the time the sixties ended, so had Janie Jone's notorious parties in her Kensington home for her show business friends. Soon, she would be sentenced to seven years' imprisonment for controlling prostitutes and attempting to pervert the course of justice. ***Janie Jones' extraordinary book vividly reconstructs the permissive swinging sixties; it provides the first detailed inside account of routine violence, sex and drug abuse in women's prisons - far more horrifying in reality that the fictional plot lines of 'Prisoner: Cell Block H'; but above all else, its startling revelations about Myra Hindley's state of mind are of the utmost importance to the debate on whether she should ever be released back to the community.' (Taken from jacket blurb) ***A hard to find first edition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
