  • Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Two books related to the OJ Simpson trial, association copies, both inscribed to Joan Didion and her husband the writer John Gregory Dunne. Dunne reported at length on the OJ Simpson trial himself for *The New York Review of Books.* The first is *The Run of His Life* by Jeffrey Toobin, inscribed in the year of publication on the half title page: "September 1996, For Joan + John --In friendship and enduring admiration, Jeff Toobin." The second is *Journey to Justice* by Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr., who led OJ's "Dream Team," written with Tim Rutten. It's Rutten who's left the inscription: "For Joan and John -- With gratitude, admiration, and love. For: 'I am in despair that time may bring approved pattern of women & of men. But not that selfsame excellence again.' Fondly, Tim (and W.B. Yeats) II.VII.IXVII [i.e. 2/7/1997]." A great pairing for the true crime or Los Angeles collector. Toobin broke the story for *The New Yorker* that Cochrane and his team would argue that LAPD had planted evidence, and *The Run for his Life* was turned into a mini-series. Tim Rutten was a journalist for 40 years with *The Los Angeles Times.* *The Run of His Life* is very good due to a slightly cocked spine; otherwise fine in a fine jacket. *Journey to Justice* is fine in a very near fine jacket with light edge wear. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We also have a distinct interest in contemporary essay and invite you to explore our other Joan Didion offerings.
