About this Item
First paperback edition, first printing. "First Printing February 1976" statement to the copyright page, $1.75 price and code 59-955 to the front cover. Originally published by Warner in hardcover in 1975, this SCARCE first paperback edition bears new, comedic cover photo-art by Neil Slavin. The second of Grossbach's bitingly fun, satirical, and zany novels, features a group of aerospace engineers developing an almost safe warplane for a bureaucratic company. Grossbach, who is an engineer and a writer--including numerous novelizations of comedy films, (especially Neil Simon films) is a highly reviewed, stylist author that has garnered a fan cult following. This novel is the basis for the Dudley Moore starred 1984 film 'Best Defense', and was also adapted to an as yet unproduced screenplay by Alan Rudolph for an over-committed Robert Altman. Minor rubbing to the lower spine edge, tanning to the borders of the inside covers, slight age-toning to the borders of the rear cover, else very nearly fine, square, very tight and possibly unread in stiff-card wraps with photo-scene front cover art by Neil Slavin; original printed $1.75 price and code 59-955 still intact to the front cover, all page edges yellow, as issued. Mass market paperback. Seller Inventory # ABE-1661647341575
