Item description from seller

Beacon B387. Beatnik, coffee house setting and themes. Attractive Good Girl GGA painted cover. Heavy reading crease near spine and 2" crease to corner. Cover slightly misaligned leaving some page exposed at fore-edge. Cover copy: SNARED. SLAMMED.GOOD girls, even when they are as fresh and pretty as Anita Carbone, are generally considered safe, incorruptible. Anita came from a good home. She wouldn't fall for the blandishments of college-boy Lotharios. She wouldn't listen to the offers of jaded libertines ready to pay anything for a thrill. And above all, she wouldn't throw away her lovely young body on bearded beatniks and dope-happy hipsters. . Or would she? That was the big question in the far-out mind of big Joe, a typical beat. When he managed to convert Anita, he was able to teach the good girl how to be very bad. The wild beat life with its free-wheeling love arrangements, its pursuit of perverse kicks, its weird zen-and-sex parties - all this Anita found an intoxicating release from her strait-laced home and her too-proper boy friend.But Joe had a hipster friend, Shank, whose twisted inclinations one day drove him to ravish Anita. Desperately she tried, to find escape - not only for herself, but for poor beat Joe! THE MOST VALID, MOST REVEALING, MOST EXCITING NOVEL YET PUB-LISTED ABOUT THE UNSAVORY WORLD OF HIPS AND BEATS First paragraph(s): JOE MILANI studied the room with half-open eyes. He spent a long time absorbing every aspect of the interior of the coffee-house with the intensity of a person who had never been there before and who might never return. At last he rested his gaze on the small cup of coffee in front of him with the same concentration. And he decided that the coffee-house was the most logical spot in the world for him. Paperback Original. Size: 4.25" x 7". 155 pages. Text unmarked. Binding/spine is cocked but solid. Some age-toning to page edges. Some reading-wear, cover creasing and bumping to corners. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2-3 Pounds. Category: Vintage Paperbacks::Sleaze 1960s; Inventory No: 035726.…
