Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story (Inscribed by the Book's Dedicatee, Dr. Eugene Landy)

New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 1991. Boards. Fine/Fine. A one-of-a-kind copy of Brian Wilson's 1991 autobiography: WILDLY INSCRIBED BY THE BOOK'S DEDICATEE, BRIAN WILSON'S PSYCHIATRIST DR. EUGENE LANDY, WHO HERE WRITES IN A BURST OF SURPRISING CANDOR: "FOR ASHLEY-- THIS BOOK TELLS WHAT & HOW I SPENT THE LAST 9 OR SO YEARS OF MY LIFE -- A GREAT CHALLENGE AND A WASTE OF TIME -- I MEET YOU RIGHT AFTER I LEFT -- I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR LUNCH LOVE EUGENE LANDY". In other words, the book's dedicatee appears to be renouncing in this inscription the work he did with Brian Wilson. A sharp, near-pristine copy to boot of the 1991 stated 1st edition. Tight (truncated) and Near Fine to Fine in a crisp, price-intact, Fine dustjacket. Thick octavo, written with the assistance of Todd Gold. (Inventory #: 16697)
