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. Currently he is pursuing a career in advertising in New York and gathering material for a new book. All orders shipped protected in a box. Excellent dust jacket is marred by price being clipped off.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Very Good dj. First Edition. [book shows only minimal shelfwear; the jacket is bright and attractive (with an unfaded spine), with a bit of wear at both ends of the spine, a small closed tear at the bottom front hinge (extending diagonally a bit into the front panel), and a couple of very tiny nicks at the top of the front panel]. (cartoon drawings) One of those celebrity faux-Presidential campaign books so beloved of comedians (and publishers). Eddie Cantor, Gracie Allen and others did them back in the day, and Pat Paulsen threw his hat into the ring (and missed) in 1968 -- which didn't stop him from doing it during five subsequent campaigns, each generating less hilarity than the last. Fields's effort is actually a collection of a number of humorous essays that he'd been writing for the Sunday supplements during the preceding couple of years, and while they aren't all exactly politically-themed, they at least they have the virtue of having been written by the Great Man himself, not some hack ghostwriter. And, let it be noted, they're pretty damn funny, to boot, giving a very Fieldsian take on the raising of babies, the avoidance of income tax, etc. The illustrations are by Otto Soglow, best known for the comic feature "The Little King." An appropriate gift for your best politically-minded friend, especially in an era when quite a few clowns decide to really run for President (including one that actually got elected). Illustrated by O. Soglow (illustrator).…
