This scarce satiric novel (originally published in England as Boo), the third novel of a British-educated writer who was apparently still writing novels in the '70s seems to have been a forerunner of Jerzy Kosinski's Being There (with its story of an intellectually-deficient man making an impact on the lives of a group of sophisticates). This copy has modest cover corner and spine end wear and the back hinge is slit but with little effect on the intact binding; it appears to be free of markings, though there are a few small page corner creases and the pages are toned. The jacket has large paper loss at the spine bottom and some at the spine top and the top fold; there are also short edge tears and some other general wear; but dj is still serviceable. Still, the title is hard to come by in any condition (out of print).
