New York: Donald I Fine, 1989. Cloth & boards. pp xiv, 412, [4]; index. Light yellowing to page edges, red dot to bottom page edges, else fine in fine jacket. "In this book, W. J. Weatherby, a friend of Baldwin's for nearly thirty years, has woven together a warm and illuminating portrait of both the writer and the man, based on the recollections of his many friends and Weatherby's own memories. The number and range of Baldwin's friends is extraordinary- it included Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, Norman Mailer and Malcolm X, Marlon Brando and Tennessee Williams. His turbulent relationships with his friends are legendary too." - jacket. ; Octavo
