BINGO

Brown, Rita Mae

Rita Mae Brown returns with another witty tale of passion and rivalry in the small Southern town of Runnymede, Maryland. Newspaper editor Nickel Smith is scrambling to save the local paper from corporate extinction, even as she is engaged in an affair that would shock the town as much as it amazes Nickel herself. A telling look at the foibles of modern relationships, Bingo is full of wisdom about the comforts, trials, and absurdities of small-town life. FIRST EDITION, Review copy, with photo and publicity info laid in. 8vo, printer's original blue cloth and boards, in the pictorial dustjacket. 291. A very fine copy, as new.
