About This Item

London: Secker & Warburg, 1957 . First edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8" by 5.5". None. A smart, first edition of this work of fiction by Richard Bissell, in the original, striking, unclipped dust wrapper. First edition, in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Written by American author, Richard Pike Bissell, known for his short stories and novels. This humorous, fast-moving work tells the story of how a novel was turned into a grand, American musical. Bissell undoubtedly uses his own experiences with this story, as his previous book 'A Gross of Pyjamas' was itself adapted into a world-famous play 'The Pyjama Game' in 1954. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, smart, with light bumping to the extremities and to the head and tail of the spine. Slight marking to rear board. Dust wrapper is smart, with light chipping and the odd small closed tear. Sunning to the spine of the wrap and the occasional mark, moreso to the rear. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with the odd spot. Very Good
