Christane F’s searing memoir, Autobiography Of A Child Prostitute And Heroin Addict, pulls no punches in recounting 1970s Berlin youth culture spiraling into addiction and survival sex work. This 1980 first-edition hardcover preserves the raw immediacy that made the book an international true-crime cult classic and a staple of cultural-studies syllabi.

The 282-page volume arrives in sturdy, tightly bound condition; pages remain clean and unmarked, free of smoke odor. While the dust jacket shows edge chips, small tears, and light foxing on its inner flaps, the boards beneath are solid, making the copy both readable and display-worthy.

Collectors of vintage memoirs, true-crime accounts, and counter-culture history prize this English-language debut. A scarce survivor from the original 1980 print run, it offers an unfiltered window into late-20th-century urban adolescence without ex-library markings or inscriptions.
