Shocking True Story: The Rise and Fall of Confidential, "America's Most Scandalous Scandal Magazine"

By Henry E. Scott. "America's first tabloid," and all the scandals its headlines blared about (plus the real "crime" here, its use as kompromat).  This hardcover is in very nice shape; the jacket has some very mild shelfwear, mostly a pressing-in of the top at the spine -- and even without the jacket, the boards have a fun design that mirrors the jacket. Deckle-edge pages are clean and straight. A solid bargain.
