Published by Straight Arrow Books, 1974
Hardcover
356 pages
9.5x6.5 inches

Very Good book in a Good+ dust jacket. Remainder mark to bottom edge. Comes in removable protective Brodart mylar cover.

The book that restarted the James Dean cult by celebrating him as the cool, defiant visionary of pop culture who made adolescence seem heroic instead of awkward and who defined the style of rock ’n’ roll’s politics of delinquency. The only book to fully show how deliberately and carefully Dean crafted his own image and performances, and the product of still unequalled research, vivid writing, intimate photographs, and profound meditation.
