1991 · New York
by Brian Wilson (With Todd Gold)
New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 1991. Boards. Fine/Fine. A one-of-a-kind copy of Brian Wilson's 1991 autobiography. 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 and Near (truncated)
