I thought I would be sent a large mass market edition but this is a big old coffee table book, a first edition no less. The book is in excellent condition but the dust jacket is worn. Down side is that the book of career memories, richly photography and documenting the radio era and lifestyle, is not as funny as "Groucho and Me". For real laughs, and not too many books can give me an outloud laugh, I recommend "Groucho and Me" (Me is Groucho's other side, Julius - His real name. I should order a copy of that book here. Maybe I will get a signed copy. Imagine?
