Love Is Colder Than Death: The Life and Times of Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Katz, Robert. Random House, 1987 (Stated 1st Ed.). Hardbound. Design by Barbara M. Bachman. Jacket design by George Corsillo. A captivating biography of the rogue melodramatist (Werner Herzog described him as not 'German at all, but a "wild" Bavarian') by the writer who stood trial for 'defaming the memory of the Pope' Pius XII in his book Death in Rome. This lovely first edition features totally tubular jacket art by Corsillo and sophisticated design work by Bachman: highlights include a half-title–to–title zoom-in of an image echoed in the spine's gilt stamping.
Tight spine with only the subtlest of lean. Clean, unmarked interior. Gilt to spine and front board remains bright. Remainder mark to bottom edge, but no other notable wear to the book. There is a small area of light to moderate edge-wear to the jacket. 245 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
