Be My Baby 1st ed HC by Ronnie Spector OOP Phil Spector

Pop legend Ronnie Spector's Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts and Madness, or My Life as a Fabulous Ronette, by Ronnie Spector with Vince Waldron (1990, Harmony Books) offers the singer's no holds barred life story in her own inimitable words--and what a story it is!

Here's your chance to bid on a hardcover first edition of the long out of print autobiography of rock'n'roll legend Ronnie Spector obtained by special arrangement with the book's co-author.   The book offered in this listing is an unread file copy that would be perfect but for some minor cosmetic defect, such as a slight dent in the dust jacket or other similar blemish.  If you'd prefer to buy a like new copy, including a rare bookplate edition signed by the author, you can find those in my separate listings.   But if you can live with a slight dent or scratch or other minor blemish on an otherwise nice, unread book, then this copy offers you a chance to buy a nice copy of this out or print classic at a very reasonable price.   Keep in mind also that I'm a book collector with high standards, so my idea of a defect is the kind of thing many less fastidious booksellers might not even bother to list.   I only have a few of these "seconds" available, so don't miss this chance to avail yourself of an unread first edition of this great book at a truly attractive price.

An epic tale of the glamour and excess of the rock world, Ronnie's story is packed with never-before-told anecdotes about the star's friends, lovers and musical mentors, from John Lennon and David Bowie to Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel.  Told with an unfailing sense of humor and the singer's disarmingly frank style, Be My Baby is a story that's alternately harrowing and hilarious, but never, ever dull.

Critically acclaimed on its initial 1990 release, London's Blitz Magazine hailed Be My Baby as "one of the three greatest rock'n'roll memoirs ever."  The notoriety that Ronnie's ex-husband Phil Spector continues to accrue only makes this book more interesting as the years go on.

Don't miss this opportunity to purchase your own copy of this long out of print pop masterpiece--a rock and roll collectible that will surely increase in value in the years to come.
