How to Sin in Hollywood
[San Francisco]: [Richard F. Guggenheim], [c.1940]. First edition. Black and white drawings by Hoff. Comb binding. Octavo. 189 pages.
Charming, slightly risqué guide to nightlife in Hollywood and Los Angeles on the eve of World War II. Numerous bars, dance clubs, and restaurants are described, accompanied by witty text and Hoff's evocative drawings.
This fabulous souvenir from Hollywood's golden era is surprisingly scarce.
OCLC locates only 4 copies.
Near fine, with a few minor extremity rubs and some faint foxing to title page. There are a few numbers lightly written on front cover.
