Smart Cookie

[New York]: Elite Books, Inc.. Good in Good dj. (c.1961). First Edition. Hardcover. [front hinge starting to crack, otherwise a decent copy with only minor wear to extremities; jacket heavily edgeworn, short diagonal tear at upper left corner of front panel, a few other tiny tears and nicks, inverted-V-shaped wrinkle in front panel]. Trashy novel about "a girl who personifies sex," who flees from a rooming house in the slums of New York to Miami Beach to escape her sadistic stepfather and another abusive tenant, but soon discovers that "the exciting Playland of Glamour and Enchantment" is less glamorous and enchanting than she'd counted on. But not to worry, because she's determined "to stay there until she learns the real score and smartens up -- until she is finally transformed into a [wait for it....] SMART COOKIE!" .
