NY, Ballantine, (1998). Biography of the hip hop artist, known as Puff Daddy and various other monikers over the years, one of the first generation of rappers who became a worldwide celebrity immediately upon the release of his first album, then cementing his fame as a producer in addition to being a performer. Illustrated with a number of color photographs. Published as a mass market paperback, with no hardcover edition and presumably targeted at the youth market: few copies have been preserved over the years, and libraries tend to not take mass market paperbacks as seriously as trade hardcover editions, so it is not as well represented in OCLC as its subject might seem to warrant. One deep crease to the spine; near fine in wrappers. [#036219] $250
