About This Item
New York: Grossman Publishers, 1968. First Edition, Sixth Printing. Hardcover in red cloth. Very Good/Good. A lovely book about the naming of groups - something that we pay little attention to now, but in medieval times this was part of the curriculum from young men learning of the hunt.
Lipton, the longtime host of Inside the Actor's Studio, reminds us of some of the long known names for groups of things, then adds some of his own for modern times - "a slouch of models" for instance.
Book is very good in a like dust jacket. Jacket wear is an issue on these books due to a thin paper jacket. This one has some tears to the top edge, is toned, but is very good otherwise. Its a cool book by a great talent. Lipton died in 2020 at the age of 93.
Attention bookseller label aficionados, includes a cool bookseller label on front pastedown from Claitor's of Baton Rouge, LA.
Book will ship in a new Brodart cover.
