About This Item
New York: Random House, 1939. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/very good. Signed by Florence Eldridge and Fredric March underneath their photo together opposite the title page. Very good in an about very good jacket, unclipped ($2.00), rubbed and chipped. Blue buckram with red and gilt paneling on the spine and front board. Square with some reading wear on the binding. Two gift inscriptions to a "Henry" on the front endpaper. A serious bit of political theatre from two noted comedians. Reviewed by Variety on the front flap: "Kaufman and Hart, who have delivered a number of top comedies, are thoroughly serious with 'Way'; apparently swayed by the terrors of Nazism and its offshoots in the U.S.
