This well-loved copy of Joseph Heller’s “Good As Gold” offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most celebrated satirists of the 20th century. Published in 1979, just a few years before Heller’s untimely death, this novel showcases the author’s biting wit and incisive commentary on the human condition. Set in the academic world of a prestigious college, “Good As Gold” explores themes of greed, ambition, and the corrupting influence of power, all through Heller’s signature dark humor and razor-sharp prose.

While not as widely acclaimed as his masterpiece “Catch-22,” this later work remains a must-read for fans of Heller’s distinctive voice and those interested in the social and cultural climate of the late 1970s. This mass-market paperback edition, with its well-worn cover and creased spine, bears the marks of a book that has been thoroughly enjoyed and pondered over by its previous readers. For collectors, it offers a tangible connection to a literary icon whose works continue to resonate with readers generations later.
