Pages are aged and differing in color, but otherwise a solid hardcover copy. It's 1983, and 17-year-old Edward Zanni wants to study acting at Juilliard, but his newly remarried father, who earns too much for Edward to claim scholarship money, refuses to pay. So, Edward enlists the aid of his creative theater pals to swindle the money from his father. Posing as nuns and priests, the troupe concocts embezzlement and money laundering schemes to get Edward his badly needed cash. How I Paid for College is a hilarious coming-of-age story that rings true with anyone who's ever dared to dream big.
