(B&W photographs) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by co-author Jerome Chodorov on the ffep. A comedy about "a nice, typical American couple with teen-age kids."

(price-clipped) [moderate shelfwear to bottom edges of covers, light soiling to edges of text block; jacket has a number of small tears and chips, 3-inch split along top front foldover, a bit of paper loss at top of spine]. Scarce novel about the psychological effects of war on the men who fight it. Set during the last days of World War II in Europe, as Allied troops close in on Berlin, the action centers around one American rifle squad that goes off the rails: "Shattered by German artillery, crazed with rage at the elusive Nazis who hit, run, and surrender, these ordinary American boys unle...

[book shows only minimal shelfwear; the jacket is bright and attractive (with an unfaded spine), with a bit of wear at both ends of the spine, a small closed tear at the bottom front hinge (extending diagonally a bit into the front panel), and a couple of very tiny nicks at the top of the front panel]. (cartoon drawings) One of those celebrity faux-Presidential campaign books so beloved of comedians (and publishers). Eddie Cantor, Gracie Allen and others did them back in the day, and Pat Paulsen threw his hat into the ring (and missed) in 1968 -- which didn't stop him from doing it during fiv... View More...
(price-clipped) [light shelfwear to bottom of book, very slight crack/exposure of board at lower front corner; jacket is quite nice with just minor edgewear, a little diagonal creasing in the front flap]. (B&W photographs, cartoons, etc.) A very entertaining compilation of letters, notes, scripts, newspaper articles, photographs, etc., almost all sourced from within the Fields family archives by his youngest grandson. Although the book's claim to be "his intended autobiography" is a bit of an over-reach, there's no question that nearly fifty years after its publication, this remains one of th... View More...
[a touch of wear to base of spine, one-time owner's address label on front endpaper; jacket slightly browned along spine, minor wear to extremities]. (B&W photographs) One of the great musicals of the 1960's, adapted from Federico Fellini's film "Nights of Cabiria." A triumph for choreographer Bob Fosse on the stage, less so in his 1969 screen adaptation (which substituted Shirley MacLaine for Gwen Verdon). View More...
[a very nice copy, tight and clean with just a touch of wear at the spine ends; jacket a little rubbed on the front panel, very light wear to extremities, tiny closed tear at upper left of front panel]. (B&W photographs) One of the great musicals of the 1960s, adapted from Federico Fellini's film "Nights of Cabiria." It was a triumph for choreographer Bob Fosse on the stage, but a little less so in his 1969 screen adaptation (which substituted Shirley MacLaine for Gwen Verdon). [NOTE: Although there is no "first printing" or "first edition" statement in this copy of the book, I believe it t... View More...
[moderate wear at edges/corners, front cover clean and bright, very light dampstain at bottom of rear cover extending through about the last one-third of the magazine; no labels or exterior markings]. (B&W photos, other illus.) Oversize magazine (too big for my scanner!) with a terrific front cover color photo of W.C. Fields in POPPY; there is also a full-page ad for the movie, featuring a caricature of Fields, on page 11. The magazine gives a thorough rundown of what was happening in all the arts (mostly in New York), and includes articles, criticism, etc. by Marcia Davenport, Norris Houghto... View More...
