Body Count
New York: Pyramid Books, (1974). First Mass Market Edition. Mass market paperback. 160 pages.
Schwartz's memoir of her numerous love affairs in the late 1950s and 1960s, of which Paul McCartney was the most famous, reputedly wrecking his engagement to Jane Asher. This unvarnished account is part counterculture confession and part insider chronicle with a view of the Beatles' inner circle as things started to fray in the late 1960s.
Originally published by Straight Arrow Books in 1972, this is the first mass market paperback printing of the same controversial content. Pyramid Books sensationalized the cover and recast the book as 'The sexual autobiography of Francie, Queen of the Groupies.' This distinct shift in cultural packaging and its wide distribution cemented the book's reputation as one of the most important "groupie memoirs" of the 1970s.
Very good. Bright pink covers with minor extremity rubs, slight fading to spine, a few rubs to back cover, and mild toning to textblock.
