Description: Condition: Very Good with prior owner's name on front free endpaper (Derek Marlowe). Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. 1st Printing of the First American Edition. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1964. First Edition with all first state points, those being - on Jacket: James Jones blurb instead of Nelson Algren's at bottom of back panel; $ 5.00 price; code 0464, bottom of front flap. Book: purple cloth, black paper boards; no statement of printing (later editions do state printing); 224 pp.; red endpapers and topstain. Jacket is first state and not clipped, still bearing the $ 5.00 price. Candy was not only made into a movie (dir. Christian Marquand, 1968, Ewa Aulin as Candy, with John Astin and many others; screenplay by Buck Henry), but was the seminal source of a rogue's gallery of pirate editions and spin-offs of the same title and others. The story of a naive and gorgeous young blonde girl - who quickly finds out in exactly what way men are all, instantly and always, the same - borrows its plot from Voltaire's Candide and uses that strangely juxtaposed vehicle to shine a light on all the vagaries of modern western life which beg to be lampooned. Considered by many to be a classic of "black( dark) humor."
