Bare Faced Messiah: The True Story of L. Ron Hubbard by Russell Miller offers a compelling non‑fiction look at the founder of Scientology, blending biography, cultural history, and an examination of fringe science. First published in 1987 by Penguin, this hardcover first edition presents a thorough, well‑researched narrative aimed at both young adults and adult readers interested in memoirs and true stories.

The book arrives with its original dust jacket, a hallmark of Penguin’s 1980s releases, and retains the sturdy binding typical of that era. Its pages are clean, tidy, and free of any writing, dog‑ears, or markings, reflecting careful handling.

Condition is good overall; the dust jacket shows light scuffing but remains intact, and the book comes from a smoke‑free home. This makes it a solid addition for collectors of biographies, science‑fiction related studies, or anyone curious about the cultural impact of L. Ron Hubbard.
