Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. W, C. Fields - the Great Man, one of the exceptional comic geniuses of our time, an original anti-hero of today's "let it all hang out" generation - wrote one book in his time, and this is it. When first published in t940, Fields for President received little or no attention, and copies of that printing are today collector's items. Now these extraordinary expressions of opinion are here reissued with the addition of many photographs, some never before published, and brief biographical commentary. The Fields mania of recent times is a phenomenon difficult to explain. His old movies are constantly being shown on TV and in theaters; his picture appears on posters, postcards, and sweatshirts; his name is used to exploit various products. But here are his views, as he patently put them down three decades ago, on politics, babies, big business, marriage, physical fitness, to name only a few. It's W. C. Fields at his pompous, cantankerous, larcenous, and wittiest best. MICHAEL M. TAYLOR was graduated from The University al Connecticut in 1970. Previous to this literary romance (his first) with W.C. Fields, he was entrepreneurially involved in a Cape Cod night spot and a real estate project in Connecticut.
