Description
Kenneth Anger’s Hollywood Babylon books remain foundational cult texts — part gossip archive, part underground history, part visual time capsule. First published in the 1970s and ’80s, these volumes shaped how generations of readers imagined the hidden machinery of classic Hollywood: scandals, scandals layered on scandals, grotesque accidents, self-destruction, and the fragile mythology of fame. They’re still endlessly referenced, endlessly argued about, and endlessly read.
What matters here is usability. These are honest, working copies meant for readers who actually want to live inside the books — flip pages, reread passages, study the images, and keep them close. Clothbound hardcover editions of these titles are becoming harder to find in affordable condition as clean copies migrate into collections. This set is priced for someone who wants the content, the object, and the history — without paying first-edition / collectible premiums.
If you’ve always meant to actually read Anger instead of just talking about him, this is the set to grab.
