New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1975. First edition. 241 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Publisher's orange cloth backed yellow paper boards with author's signature stamped in black to upper cover, spine lettered in black and white. Black endpapers, inscribed by the author to half-title page, offsetting from signature ink to next two leaves, otherwise incredibly clean. A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket, lightly rubbed to corners and bottom edge of spine, small open tear to top edge of back panel. Housed in a custom black slipcase. First edition. 241 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Inscribed by Warhol with his full signature plus "aw" initials in thicker pen, with a gestural soup can drawing. The seemingly personal dedication "to my Mich..." is regrettably indecipherable.
This book features Warhol on Love, Death, Beauty, Art, Business and Underwear Power. In Barbara Goldsmith's New York Times review, she laments Warhol's philosophy as it comes forward in this book, "Warhol's basic philosophical premise is 'nothing'; not the futility of human endeavor of Sartre and Camus, or the void beyond pain of Joan Didion, but simply—nothing added.
