THE GOOD MAN'S WEAKNESS
San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 1974. First Edition. Cloth. 192 pp. Illustrated dust jacket. Brown cloth. Gilt cover and spine titling. 6" x 9 1/4". Charles McCabe authored a very popular San Francisco Chronicle column, called The Fearless Spectator. It was said that he would finish his column early each morning and then stride over to Gino and Carlo, a North Beach saloon, for several bottles of "green death" (Rainier ale). This book is a collection of his best Chronicle columns concerning alcohol, a subject about which the author's knowledge was encyclopedic. Certainly a book for San Franciscans, wherever they may be. A Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket (price-clipped; spine-sunned as usual with this title; slight edgewear at spine-ends), now in a clear mylar protective sleeve.
