Springsteen: Point Blank

Brown cloth boards with silver lettering to spine. INSCRIBED by author on post-it note: ‘To all at the Gay Hussar – as ever, Chris S.’ (The Gay Hussar was a famous restaurant and hang-out of the political left in Soho, London; it closed down in 2018.) Pages tanned, top-edge of text block slightly soiled. Dust jacket rubbed and a little creased to spine ends. Shallow scratches to upper panel. *** ‘I’d like to duly thank both Bruce Springsteen and his management for their co-operation in the research and writing of Point Blank. Unhappily I can’t do so.’ Sandford’s unauthorized biography of The Boss caused some controversy when it was published in 1999. It is a respectful and insightful biography though and makes for an interesting counterpoint to Dave Marsh’s equally excellent authorized biographies.
