Wonderland Avenue: Tales of Glamorous and Excess by Danny Sugerman Signed
Authors: Danny Sugerman
Cover Artist: Ralph Steadman
Location: London
Publisher: Sidgwick & Jackson
Date: 1989
Edition: First Edition
Features: Signed and inscribed by the author on half title page to Dorothy, probably Dorothy Manzarek, mentioned on the acknowledgment page. Cover art by renowned artist and friend of Hunter S. Thompson Ralph Steadman. At the age of thirteen, Danny Sugerman- the already wayward product of Beverley Hills wealth and privilege- went to his first Doors concert. He never looked back. He became Jim Morrison's protégé and- still in his teens- manager of the Doors and then Iggy Pop. He also plunged gleefully into the glamorous underworld of the rock 'n' roll scene, diving headfirst into booze, sex and drugs: every conceivable kind of drug, ever day, in every possible permutation. By the age of twenty-one he had an idyllic home, a beautiful girlfriend, the best car in the world, two kinds of hepatitis, a diseased heart, a $500 a day heroin habit and only a week to live. He lived. This is his tale. Excessive, scandalous, comic, cautionary and horrifying, it chronicles the 60s dream gone to rot and the early life of a Hollywood Wild Child who was just brilliant at being bad.
Book Condition: Very Good+: Minor rubbing to corners and spine ends.
Dust Jacket Condition: Fine: Bright dust jacket. Not price-clipped. In clear protective cover.
