Diary of a Geisha Girl by Kimiko Omura (as told to William Vaneer) Avon Books (#T-313), Paperback Original, 1959 Condition: Good+ Whether or not Kimiko Omura was a real person on whose true experiences this book is based, it is clearly written as a novel, purporting to tell the intimate revelations of a beautiful young Geisha. 160 pages. One of the scarcest Avons of the '50s. Cover creasing (one affects front upper page corners), some rubbing, light to moderate edge/corner/spine end wear, modest spine lean, a few small page corner/edge bumps, slight unevenness of pages; the usual toned pages. Still, an unmarked, fairly decent copy of an elusive first.
