Awesome find at the library book sale tonight!!
If I can't have the hardcover edition my mother got rid of (I will never not be mad about that), I'm happy to settle for a first Pocket Books printing from November 1979 for only $0.60 😁 Couldn't believe a room full of booksellers scooping up everything in sight passed this by 🤣

I've been trying to get through this book for years. It sits on my nightstand and every few months I try again.
