I did not like this book,
By Joanne Sellner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Walnut Door (Hardcover)
I read this book from cover to cover hoping for some redeeming value - I didn't find any. It was a filthy book in my estimation - I felt like I was in the middle of the 60's drug culture. The book was thrown away.
