Dark green cloth boards with silver titles to the spine. William Morris Agency Bookplate affixed to the FFEP, with agent/producer Tanya Chasman's address stamped above the agency 's logo. A near fine copy in a VG D/W which is chipped at the corners and has small spots of damp-staining at the top edge of the rear panel and the rear flap. The D/W is NOT price-clipped and is quite presentable in its new mylar. "Entertaining Mr Sloane" premiered at the New Arts Theatre in London in 1964 to glowing reviews. A year later it opened in New York at the Lyceum Theatre with Tanya Chasman as its Producer, where it ran for a mere two weeks. It has since enjoyed a series of more successful outings, including a Roundabout Production starring Alec Baldwin as well as a UK feature film.
