Cloth-backed boards, jacket. First Edition.

The author's first book. The basis of the sublime film directed by Amy Heckerling starring Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, and the inimitable Ray Walston as Mr. Hand. Cameron Crowe wrote the screenplay for the film as well.

"Because of the double life that almost every American teenager lives, few adults ever see the kids as they really exist. Cameron Crowe has the uncanny ability to make those recognitions, and to act them out as well. To conduct his research, Crowe, who at age 22 was a frequent contributor to Rolling Stone magazine, and whose youthful appearance belied his age, was able to pass as a high school senior at a Southern California public school." - About the Author from the jacket rear flap.
