About This Item
The Laugh's On Me is the 12th best-selling book by American writer Bennett Cerf (1898-1971), the founder of Random House. By this time, he was one of the What's My Line? panelists.
It is "a humorous collection of 2000 stories, anecdotes and amiable observations." With several small illustrations by Doug Anderson. Published by Doubleday, 1959.
This copy is in good shape, although it has binding issues. The binding is too tight in some areas, and has cracked open in the center--I suspect that it was so tightly-bound that the original owner did that so he could read it. But it hasn't been thoroughly read.480 pages, bright yellow boards with black lettering on the spine.
No dust jacket. There are fingerprints here and there and a tiny ink mark on the cover (see photo). The spine has darkened somewhat. But you can clean it with Absorene.
I couldn't find any copies of this book anywhere else--it's rare. So it would be worth it to have it fixed up.
Note: If you are outside of North America, the quoted shipping price is for surface mail without tracking. For other options, please contact me.
