The most remarkable thing about the first edition of Living at the Movies<\/em> is the cover art by well-known painter Larry Rivers<\/a>, a close friend of Carroll’s. You will find Jim himself at the bottom of the back cover. (There’s a red arrow in the lower right corner pointing to him, part of the original art.)<\/p>\n\n\n

This book was issued in both hardcover and paperback editions. The images shown here are of the paperback edition. The hardback does not have Grossman’s address or the $4.50 price on the back cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hardcover version of the Grossman edition also includes an author photo (By Wren D’Antonio) and bio on the inside flap. When asked about this photo in 1996, Carroll said, “I look like Nico.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
