1 Wolfe, Tom Hooking Up
New York Farrar Straus and Company 2000 First Edition Cloth Fine Very Good+ Signed by Author
This is a really nice copy of Tom Wolfe's Hooking Up. The book is a first edition and first printing and is in very fine condition. No bumped corners, no spots or stains. The volume is inscribed by Tom Wolfe on the ffep (First Free Endpaper) and of course, it is written in his incredibly flamboyant handwriting. It says "to Joel Baskin" and then it is signed by Mr. Wolfe. The dustjacket shows some slight soiling to the front panel and a couple of spots of shelf-wear. There is a very small chip to the rear top left panel and a bit of the crease where the back panel becomes the back inner flap shows just a bit. It is just a little white showing through at the curve that goes into the book itself. It does not detract. The dustjacket is not price-clipped and this is certainly a collectible copy of another work from the wild Tom Wolfe. Also included within the book is 'Ambush at Fort Bragg' a novella. Tom Wolfe's social commentary on the way we now relate to each other is both penetrating and funny. This is 'Hooking Up'. Wolfe ranges from coast to coast, chronicling everything from the sexual manners and mores of teenagers to fundamental changes in the way human beings now regard themselves. This is a most interesting and unusual book. It's really more like two books. Up to page 171, the social essay fascinates. From page 173 to 293 is the wonderful novella. A most interesting signed First edition. We are pleased to send pictures on request.

2 Wolfe, Tom I am Charlotte Simmons
New York Farrar Straus and Company 2004 First Edition Cloth Fine Fine Signed by Author
From the author of Bonfire of the Vanities comes this new and very controversial novel. The book has caused a stir in many quarters because of its dealing with contemporary college life and its viewpoint on contemporary students. This book is brand new and it has never been read. It is in as new condition and it is signed directly on the title page by Tom Wolfe with his well known flourish. The story of Charlotte Simmons is a story of a beautiful, brilliant, student who goes to a top university at which the students are all upper-crust and wealthy. Charlotte is a wide-eyed, bookish freshman from a strict, devout, poor, and poorly educated family in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Charlotte learns, to her growing dismay, that for these rich kids of Dupont University college is about sex, drugs, and alchohol. This environment trumps her towering academic ambitions every time. This is a fantastic novel from Tom Wolfe who is certainly one of our finest contemprary novelists. We are pleased to send pictures on request.

3 Wolfe, Tom In Our Time
New York Farrar Straus and Company 1980 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Signed by Author. Signed by Illustrator
Tom Wolfe not only wrote but illustrated this Fine quarto volume. Wolfe is also the author of 'The Right Stuff' and 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'. This book is in Fine condition. There is a very slight irregularity on the front board towards the top of the outer edge. It is not a bump and thus I presume it came from the publisher. It does not detract from the pristine boards and spine on this volume. The book is inscribed by Mr. Wolfe on the ffep and it reads: 'For Laurette and Roger(?)' an then it is signed in Tom Wolfe's extravagant signature. The dustjacket, which is also fine is encased in a thick plastic mylar protector. Not like a Brodart but more like a thicker see-through plastic. The dustjacket is not price-clipped. The book is full of Tom Wolfe's Drawings and they are both humorous and fascinating. This is an unusual book. Most of the drawings were done in the three years preceding the books publication but the book also provides a retrospective of Wolfe's twenty-three years as a graphic artist. This is a volume of Art as well as Literature and it makes a great presentation. This is a book that is very collectible and will be truly enjoyed by it's new owner. We are pleased to send pictures on request.
