DAVID MAMET / SPEED THE PLOW PLAY / 1988 EVERGREEN / FIRST EDITION EARLY PRINT

Bobby Gould, a rising film executive, and his partner, Charlie Fox, navigate the cutthroat world of movie-making in David Mamet's hilarious Hollywood satire, SPEED-THE-PLOW, which finds Mamet writing some of the best dialogue and verbal takedowns of his career.  Up for grabs is a first edition, early printing (4th) of the vintgage paperback edition, published in 1988 as an Evergreen Book by Grove Weidenfeld, in wraps.  A good to very good vintage Evergreen paperback of one of Mamet's brilliant black comedies. Shelf wear to the wraps, including the corners, along the hinge, and to the head and tail of spine. NO tears, chips or creases to the wraps. Binding remains tight and unbroken. Internally free of writing, previous owner names, and highlighting. A crisp copy that will read well.  One of the better and funnier plays from the playwright and screenwriter behind Glengarry Glen Ross, American Buffalo, The Untouchables, and The Verdict, among other gems. And perfect for anyone who likes their Hollywood tales dark and sleazy like The Day of the Locust and The Player.
