Sobre este artículo
This first printing of the play bears a heartfelt inscription to poet and critic Louis Untermeyer - himself a contemporary victim of blacklisting, pushed out of his role as a popular quiz show panelist due to suspect Communist associations and right-wing protests - and to Seventeen magazine editor Bryna Ivens (then married to Untermeyer): "To Louis and Bryna - with affection and gratitude from your literary god-sons / Jerry / Bob / - and we'd still be writing those endless radio shows if you hadn't led us to hard-back bindings." A rare association copy, in lovely condition. 8'' x 5.5''. Original grey cloth with black and white photographic paste-on to front board. Gilt-stamped publisher's device to front, gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped ($2.75) dust jacket. [10], 162 pages. Title and facing page illustrated with black and white photographs. Bookplate mounted to front paste-down. Inscribed by Lawrence to front free endpaper; inscription signed by both Lawrence and Lee. Minor edgewear to boards. Jacket panels lightly toned; spine sunned; two very small closed tears to upper edges. In custom burgundy cloth clamshell box, backed in gilt-stamped burgundy leather, with illustrated paste-down mounted to front.
