Price: 52.50 USD
New York:: Best Books Press,, 1972.. 244 pages. The book is in NEAR FINE condition with very light foxing to top page block. A tight, bright, clean copy. The dust jacket is VERY GOOD with chipping/closed tearing. NOT price-clipped. NOT remaindered. Dust jacket notes read: "'It will be wondered why I have undertaken to write this memoir-I would not call it autobiography--after all these years. It is not out of conceit or a need to defend myself. My main purpose is to clear up a lot of misconceptions and outright falsehoods that have appeared about me over the years in the public press. Also I have lately become convinced that there exists a certain amount of legitimate interest in my life, and I would like to tell my side of the story.' So begins this amazing book by one of the most amazing men of our time. 'Mr. Hughes has not been seen for a decade,' reports THE NEW YORK TIMES, 'by anyone who will talk about it.' THE NEW YORK TIMES stands corrected. Mr. Hughes has indeed been seen by one man, and that man, Robert P. Eaton, has edited MY LIFE AND OPINIONS. Robert Eaton's life story, like Howard Hughes', has certain classified territory: t conference rooms of Wall Street, the corridors of the C.I.A., and the jungle paths of Cuba. Other territory is part of the public record: After Harold Robbins wrote THE CARPETBAGGERS, Robert Eaton joined him to create and produce THE SURVIVORS, the biggest-budget series in the history of television. (Its star was Lana Turner, then Mrs. Robert P. Eaton.) Robert Eaton commutes regularly from his home in New York to London, Paris and Rome. He is completing a sequel to his bestselling novel THE BODY BROKERS, and a motion picture project concerning the Jet Set." Near Fine in Very Good DJ.
