Gloria Steinem, The Beach Book

A cult classic both for its kooky subject matter—a paean to the pleasures of wasting time at the beach—and its notable author (this is Gloria Steinem’s first book ever), this is a once-in-a-lifetime find filled with anthologized fact and fiction, quirky puzzles, games, and details (the reverse of the dust jacket is a tanning reflector!). And will you look at that cover? Graphic, splashy, happy—like a ray of sunshine for your cocktail table.

There is some discoloration and losses to the extremities of this dust jacket, which is now secured in a plastic sleeve. The end paper bears a bookplate from the previous owner. The pages are clean and the volume is well intact. The crossword puzzle in the Entertainment chapter has been completed by the prior owner. Please see our detailed photos.
