About This Item
New York: Fleet Publishing Corporation, 1965. Hardcover. Good/Near Fine. First edition. A couple of stains on the boards, a good or better copy in supplied, near fine dustwrapper. Inscribed by the musician to Carol Southern, wife of Shaw's very close friend, Terry Southern: "To Carol - Since we've already got Terry-Baby on the back, here you are, right in front - With love - Artie Shaw 4/16/65." The first of five blurbs that appear on the rear panel of the jacket is from Terry Southern. Shaw was particularly drawn to literary circles and, according to his biographer Tom Nolan, he "savored most of all his acquaintanceship with authors," including Southern. The two had became close friends when Southern returned to the U.S. in 1959. They were both looking for homes in East Canaan, Connecticut and Southern actually talked Shaw into letting him buy the house that Shaw had already put a deposit on. When Shaw retired from music, which he did several times during his long career, it was primarily to write.
