About This Item
New York: W.W. Norton & Company. Very Good in Good dj. (c.1942). First Edition. Hardcover. [a good sound copy, with just a bit of soiling at the top edge of the front cover and some spotting/tanning to the top of the text block; the jacket is somewhat soiled and foxed, faded along the spine, and has several nicks and some shallow paper loss along the top edge]. (cartoon drawings) A "hilarious report from the lecture front [by] one of America's most popular lecturers [who] makes revelations on the perils of the platform that will delight everyone who ever made a speech, introduced a speaker or simply been part of the great listening public. For here the brave survivor of a hundred club programs tells all, in a riotously funny symposium of his adventures." The thirteen full-page Hirschfeld illustrations are highly amusin', as well, as is the drawing on the (uncommon) jacket. The author (1900-1969) was best known as a theatre critic and newspaper columnist. .
