About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1977. Book. Very Good Plus. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. First Printing. Signed and inscribed by the author to the actress Mary Kay Stearns on the front free endpaper. The book would be fine save for slight tanning of the endpapers and small soiling of the top, bottom and front of the text block. Else book is free of internal marking, spine is tight, boards rigid and tips are pointed. The jacket is not price clipped and has some general shelf wear but looks quite smart in its shiny new plastic cover. Shipping box is suitable for wrapping with a non-price listed purchase order inside along with biodegradable packing. This book is from the estate and association copy of actress Mary Kay Stearns of the T.V. comedy show "Mary Kay and Johnny." Wikipedia states, "Mary Katherine Stearns was an American actress best known for portraying the fictional version of herself on the sitcom Mary Kay and Johnny from 1947 until 1950. The series was the first sitcom to air on television, the first television series to feature a pregnancy, (the Stearns' real life son Christopher), and the first to feature a couple sharing a bed.".
