About This Item
NY: Random House, 1963. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good +/Good +. A memoir by the legendary Broadway writer/director/ producer George Abbott humorously inscribed to a doctor friend (perhaps his personal physician) : "To Dr, Tymason Hoping this doesn't hurt him any more than he hurts me. George Abbott" . Dustjacket is toned and chipped about the edges and spine. Along with "Damn Yankees", "Pajama Game", arguably the highpoint of Abbott's fabulous career. With Tymason's bookplate on pastedown.
