About This Item
New York: Frank-Maurice, Inc., 1926. Song-writer Harris took up the entire front free endpaper with a pencilled, handwritten autobiographical poem. He also signed that page twice. A sample of the poem: "My first name is Chas.,my initial is K / My last name - but never mind, there is / No need in the world, I am certain to say / What all of you know it is - Harris!!." There are three such stanzas. The book is in Good condition - tight and readable. However the spine title is completely faded and not readable. Still, the inscription makes the book unique in the annals of American popular music.. Author Inscribed and Signed. Hard Cover. Good/No Dust Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
