About This Item
New York: Grossman Publishers, 1970. Hardcover. 8vo. Red cloth with black/white spine lettering, pictorial price-clipped dust jacket. 97pp. Fine/near fine. Bright and tight fourth printing of this unlikely bestseller about a New Yorker's 20-year correspondence with a London used book dealer -- so popular it occasioned a stage play and a 1987 film version. This unusual copy bears fine signatures of two film cast members on matching heavy stock 5" X 3" cards tipped to front flyleaf: At top is DANIELL GERROLL (born 1951; portrays Brian), who signs large in blue ballpoint, dating it 11 December 1980 at upper right; below this is JUDI DENCH (born 1934; portrays bookseller's wife, Nora Doel), who signs handsomely in blue fineline, dating it 5 September 1979 at upper right. Laid in are the perfect bookmarks: Gerroll and Dench's original transmittal envelopes. Quite a handsome and intriguing copy.
