Muscle Boy
New York: Ace Books, 1958. 1st Edition. Soft cover. 4" x 7" Very Good. Item #014715
Paperback. 192. Rubbing to covers and extremities. Foxed to front and end matter. In very good but delicate condition. Most men fall in love with women. But some men fall in love with themselves--men like the weight lifters of Muscle Beach. For these body worshippers, their physique is their fortune. Whether it's being exhibited performing feats of strength, or leered at in glossy photos by thrill-seekers of every sex and taste, there's big money in those biceps. And it's often dirty money! Teen-ager Jerry Carpenter found that out when he, for kicks and vanity, got himself involved in the sordid dealings of a notorious photographer and the strange characters that surrounded him. What you've heard about in whispers is frankly, startling revealed in Muscle Boy, a novel that bares the naked truth about the Beefcake Kings.
