About This Item
Houston, Texas: Abbotsford Publishing, 1974. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good+. Green cloth, gilt lettering. From the library of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. (1909-2000), an American actor (his credits include Gunga Din) and a highly decorated naval officer of World War II. With a lengthy inscription to Fairbanks on the FFEP, nicely hinting at some of the weirdness you'll find herein. Includes beauty rituals, instructions on calisthenics, and a questionnaire to help determine how much poise one naturally possesses, before this little gem of absurdities intervenes to edify.
