Item description from seller

[modestly worn, with a bit of age-browning to the covers]. An earlier dramatization of what would later be the (much more successful) basis for the 1964 musical hit "Fiddler on the Roof." Arnold Perl had previously written "The World of Sholom Aleichem" (actually three short plays, only one of which was based on an Aleichem story), which had a brief (three-week) off-Broadway run in May 1953, and was such a hit that it re-opened that September and ran until the following May -- then re-opened yet again in October, by which time it was also being presented in Chicago, Hartford, Boston, and elsewhere. "Tevya and His Daughters," alas, did not replicate the success of Perl's earlier effort; it opened at the Carnegie Hall Playhouse in New York on September 16, 1957, with Mike Kellin as Tevya, under the direction of Howard Da Silva. Although it was generally well-reviewed it only lasted a short time, and within a few months had already migrated to the provinces, with performances being announced in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Tucson, Arizona, and elsewhere.…

Store description

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
