As condition silver boards with dark gray spine and silver spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Acknowledgments; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and color photographic front and rear endpapers. " 'Is This Anything?' is what every comedian says to every other comedian about any new bit they want to try. Jerry Seinfeld has been asking that question since he was twenty years old and stepped onstage at Catch a Rising Star on the Upper East Side of Manhattan on a MOnday audition night in 1975. This book is essentially the complete files of his lifetime pursuit of material to support the thrilling but unforgiving art of stand-up comedy. In some ways, it is also an impresionistic autobiography told through jokes. From his first six minutes on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson to his nine-year detour in a well-known sitcom, from Pop-Tarts and monkey astronauts to cotton balls and baby alligators in bathtubs. If the answer to "Is this anything?" was "Yes," it is included in this comprehensive compilation of his comedy." - from the inner front jacket flap. Seller Inventory # 005885
