About this Item

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.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

While we mark down our unsold books on a regular basis, our "BEST PRICE" on any given day is the price posted. We purposely avoid selling on the "Make me an offer" auction sites, where every book is "acceptable" and paperback reprints of "The Great Gatsby" bearing ISBNs and barcodes are listed as "published 1925." And we DECLINE to jack up our prices by 20 percent so we can offer every supplicant a supposed 10 or 15 percent "discount," thus turning anyone who simply pays our asking price into a ...

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 lbs., or 1 kg. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. Please make sure your e-mail program will accept such an inquiry from an ABE Books address. "SHIPPING RATE" is a small pull-down menu at ABE. Media mail is the default setting; you may choose "Priority," which costs more but carries some automatic insurance protection, if you wish. To keep our basic shipping rate competitive, we do not routinely pay out of pocket to insure books valued under $50. HOWEVER (SIGNATURE REQUIRED): We now ship all parcels valued at $90 or more "signature required," at our expense. Customers are responsible to provide a secure shipping address. In the case of shipments valued over $90. Should no adult signer be available when the mailman calls, buyers should be on the lookout for a "notice of attempt to deliver." We ship in boxes -- not plastic bags. In our experience, deliveries to France, Italy and Western Australia can take from three to 13 weeks, regardless of shipping method. We cannot control Customs delays in such countries, the luxurious seasonal vacation schedules of government functionaries, nor the proudly announced preference of Australian postal authorities to spend a week shipping even "Priority" packages across the continent from Sydney to Perth by truck -- camels apparently not being consistently available.
