I, Libertine: A Novel of 18th Century London

Shelfworn. Unclipped jacket is worn, with chips and tears, and a sunned spine where the title has been written in.

The book that started as a joke on the Jean Shepherd radio show in the 1950's as he was annoyed at the way bestseller lists were compiled, with sales and requests for specific titles. He encouraged his listeners to request a fake title that he made up on the show. Soon, demand was high for the book that hadn't been written, with rumors that it had been banned in Boston. Ian Ballantine contracted Theodore Sturgeon to write the novel.
