About this Item
Quoting the laid in description: "Original designer's mock-up for a short unpublished book by Perelman. Appararently the text was derived from a Stage magazine article by Perelman on the Yiddish playwright Arthur Kober, and his collaboration with Marc Connolly on the play Having Wonderful Time which Connolly directed and produced on Broadway. The text has been clipped from the magazine and pasted into a black cloth blank book, with the title embossed on the cover in gilt. The spine ends are chipped, and some of the clipped pieces have become detached, but all are present. The mock-up is signed on the copyright page by noted book designer Alan Chidsey (whose archive is in the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art). Perhaps meant as a prototype for a pamphlet to promote the play, we can find no record of publication. From the Carter Burdon collection. Unique.". Seller Inventory # 75276
