About This Item
Garden City: Doubleday, 1974. First edition. Hardcover. A very good clean copy with spotting to the top edge and foredge in a near fine dust jacket with a price sticker to the rear panel. This copy is inscribed by John McCabe on a Frank Buxton bookplate (to front pastedown) as follows: "For Frank - a true L.H. / man / God Bless / (signed) John McCabe." This book takes an informal look at one of the all-time masters of comedy--Stan Laurel. From his many talks with Laurel himself and interviews with people "in the business," McCabe gives us a sympathetic portrait of the man whose whimpering cry continues to give joy to audiences wherever his films are shown. Illustrated from photographs. Fortune cookie slip laid in. 221 pages.
