About This Item
Westminster, Maryland, U.S.A.: Random House, 1973. First BCE edition. Black coated cloth boards, gilt spine titles, slight wear. Thick deckle pages, fine. Dj moderate edge wear; protected in new clear sleeve. Front panel depicts scene of two characters from play. Laughs upon laughs; filled with amusing dialogue, never a mere one-line joke. Al and Willie as "Lewis and Clark" were top-billed vaudevillians for over forty years. Now they aren't even speaking. When CBS requests them for a "History of Comedy" retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries and laughs. It's ham on wry...Simon's sure footed craftsmanship and his one liners are as exquisitely apt as ever. Another hit for Simon in a shrewdly balanced, splendid and touching slice of the show biz life. 109 pages.. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Book.
