About This Item
Studio City, CA: The Billy Barty Foundation, 1982. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Quarto, 103pp., illustrated. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, in the publisher's silver-stamped black boards. The entire book is almost imperceptibly bowed in the same direction. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Billy Barty on the front paste-down: "Best always to Bill, from Billy Barty." Barty, who was born with dwarfism, was a prominent actor-turned-activist, who founded the Little People of America in 1957. This nicely illustrated retrospective volume seems to have been issued for the 25th anniversary celebration of the LPA in Reno in 1982. OCLC records just nine holdings of this book among worldwide libraries, and it's certainly uncommon signed by Barty.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
