Ellson was a social worker recreational therapist and nurse's aide at Bellevue Hospital where he encountered the adolescent psychiatric patients on whom he based much of his fiction. Binding is fragile but holding. There is a loss of illustration the size of 2 quarters above the title likely from pulling off a sticker label and does not affect the main image of the cover since it is at the top.
