First edition of this classic account about growing up gay in America. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, warmly inscribed by Andrew Tobias on the front free endpaper. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Uncommon signed and inscribed.

When The Best Little Boy in the World was first published in 1973, Andrew Tobias could write about what it had felt like to begin to accept his homosexuality, but he couldn't bring himself to sign his own name to the book, for fear of embarrassing his parents. And so it was "John Reid" who became a hero to the thousands of gay males who found in this memoir a mirror for their own experiences.
