By William Zamora. "The 'Helter Skelter' Trial of Charles Manson and His" etc. "Here it is -- all the perversion and passion of the bizarre trial that was a fitting end to the weirdest cult murders since pagan times." You don't see the phrase "clowning with death" much in jacket copy, I can tell you that.
This relatively rare PB, a 1976 first printing of this edition, looks a bit rough: a small split at the bottom front of the spine; edgewear; one notched page, all pages toned; a bend to the front; a previous owner’s scratching out of Manson’s face; spotting to page edges. The spine is uncracked, though, and the pages are snug, no markings inside. A workable reading copy.
