New York: W W Norton & Co Inc, 1988. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Inscribed by Author(s). 1st Edition. First Printing. Inscribed by Norman Cousins on the front free endpaper to the actress Mary Kay Stearns. The book would be fine save for mild foxing of the endpapers and top of text block. The book also has yellow highlighting in two places. Otherwise the spine is tight, boards rigid and tips are pointed. While the jacket has its price on the back flap, it has sprinkling of foxing on back of jacket, a clipped corner (not price corner) small fold /chip top front corner and bottom of spine. Actually looks quite smart in its shiny new plastic cover. Shipping box is suitable for wrapping with a non-price listed purchase order inside along with biodegradable packing. This book is from the estate and association copy of actress Mary Kay Stearns of the T.V. comedy show "Mary Kay and Johnny." Wikipedia states, "Mary Katherine Stearns was an American actress best known for portraying the fictional version of herself on the sitcom Mary Kay and Johnny from 1947 until 1950. The series was the first sitcom to air on television, the first television series to feature a pregnancy, (the Stearns' real life son Christopher), and the first to feature a couple sharing a bed.".
