About This Item
Toronto, Ontario: Toronto, ON: Knopf Canada, 1998, 1st edition, First Printing , 1998. ------------( 1st printing of the First Edition ) ---hardcover, a Near Fine example, in a Near Fine dustjacket, small ink date on front blank endpaper, signed without inscription by Richler on the half title page, a nice clear signature, 340 pages, ---"More than forty years of scribble, scribble, scribble, and I have been sued only once..." But this collection of essays is no less a pleasure to read for all that. Mordecai Richler is an exuberant essayist, with a combative wit and sharp eye, regularly offending some, endearing himself mightily to others, and always hugely entertaining. Like all great satirists, he is passionate about the world in which we live; it's that appetite for life and friendship, his love of sanity and common sense as much as his hatred for sacred cows, that lies at the heart of this irresistible book., any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo /// SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE///---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)---. Signed (see description). First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine (see description)/Near Fine (see description). Illus. by Photo Cover. 5.75w x 8.75h Inches. NOT Price Clipped.
