Flip Wilson Close-up / The Sensational Story of TV's No. 1 Superstar! / Plus Many Photos!, AND A SECOND SHOW BIZ PROMOTIONAL BIOGRAPHY, The Truth About Fonzie
Published by Avon Books / A Division of the Hearst Corporation / Scholastic Book Services, a Division of Scholastic Magazines, Inc., New York, 1972
Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Photos Courtesy National Broadcasting Company (illustrator). 1st Edition. Two mass-market paperback show-business promotional biographies combined into a lot to consolidate shipping charge. "Flip Wilson Close-Up" is Avon V2459, with a cover price of 75 cents. "Published by arrangement with Scholastic Book Services" 1972. Colorful ads on heavy cardstock bound in at center for the Faberge scent "Music" and for "Club" cocktails-in-a-can. Shallow diagonal partial crease near top of front wrap, but glossiness of wraps is uninterrupted and there are no spine creases; book appears unread. The Flip Wilson show ran through 1974 on NBC, winning Emmys and a Golden Globe, often featuring George Carlin (who wrote for the show) and featuring Wilson's two most popular comic impersonations, the Reverend Leroy of the "Church of What's Happening Now" and the cross-dressed Geraldine Jones, in which guise he made popular the phrases "The devil made me do it" and "What you see is what you get." 128 pp. with numerous B&W photos on uncoated stock. OUR SECOND OFFERING, "The Truth about Fonzie," dates from 1975. Showing no reading creases, it's an as-new TV tie-in mass market paperback save that there's a one-inch soft diagonal crease to bottom outside corner of rear wrap. Scholastic Book Services TK 3571; no ISBN found. Number line 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 -- possible second printing. "Fonzie" was of course the character played by Henry Winkler on the 1970s TV sitcom "Happy Days." B&W photos on matte stock. 107 pp. The pair of show business television promotional biographies now reduced from $30.
