THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ALICE B. TOKLAS.

Edition: First edition.

New York: Harcourt Brace & Company, (1933). Hardcover first edition - Although written in the conversational voice of Gertrude Toklas (1877-1967), this was actually by her friend and lover Gertrude Stein. It recounts 25 years of their friendship from Toklas's arrival in Paris in 1907 to 1932, a period when they established Paris's most influential literary salon. Frontispiece photograph by Man Ray and fifteen other black and white photographs. Listed by the Modern Library as one of the greatest English-language nonfiction books of the 20th century. 310 pp.

Condition: Good plus condition - some toning to the covers, but the print on the spine and the "A rose is a rose is a rose" circle on the front cover are quite legible, a bit of fraying to the top of the spine and toning to the pages. Hinges are intact, book is straight and tight. No dust jacket.
