About This Item
Norma Wallace ran the last of the legendary houses of prostitution in New Orleans. Before her death in 1974 she tape recorded her memoirs. The book is in fine, unread condition. There is an odd wrinkle partially down the spine which appears to be a printing error. The author has inscribed, dated and signed on the half title page.

About mark mcdonald
Book collector for over 30 years. I'm retired and ready to sell. I buy almost exclusively from estate sales and since I've lived in Dallas my whole life, I know the people and where to go. I am a low volume collector and seller and deal in higher quality books. I have a lot of signed and inscribed books. These signatures have not been officially authenticated, but I am confident in their authenticity so I will guarantee them in perpetuity if it can be reasonably demonstrated that the signature is incorrect. .
