I have a copy of Charles Willeford's "Kiss your ass goodbye" in pristine condition, with the dust jacket it never had (provided by Willeford himself in the form of photocopies of his 1979 Amended 1040 form - 1040X for the hardboiled connoisseur), and with a Polaroid snapshot of the author trying (in vain, as even the most ardent Willeford collector will concede) to perform the feat of the title in front of a circle of astonished sun-bathers in Malibu Beach. The price is a modest $5000, or $3700 without the 1040X. This offer is extended to librarians who seek the rare and the special at affordable prices.
