About This Item
Bob Hope, Stated First Edition, 1941, signed by Bob Hope on inside cover (verso). Trade Paperback, pp. 95, 20 x 14 cm, wraps are cream with red border at bottom, and color cartoon on front, many photographs and illustrations. In Good Plus condition, light soil on wraps but still shows nicely, light edge-wear, slight lean on spine, hinges becoming fragile. Nice bold signature. From the estate of book collector Albert Raman who attended the short-lived Eisenhower College, where one of the buildings was dedicated to Bob Hope, a regular visitor to campus. It's almost certain Albert Raman had these books signed personally. Bob Hope's first book and self-published book is a lot of fun - his personality leaps from the page.

About The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop
The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop has a passion for fine and rare books covering all things art, all things music, 19th Century literature and culture, fine illustrations and modern firsts. The Cat digs artistic and counter-cultural movements, and also of course the unusual and the curious (hence the "Peculiar" in the name). The Cat's yen for the 19th century (including art, fashion, affairs, exploration) is possibly influenced by living in a 19th century brownstone, a future gallery for the store.Selling online since 2003 with great customer feedback - if the customer is happy, we are happy.
