About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A. : Simon & Schuster, 1970. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Fine/Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. The life and tiems of Dorothy Parker. Because she said and wrote so many funny lines, it was widely presumed that Dorothy Parker's Life was a ceaselessly merry one. She did have a great deal of fun but Parker was also an artist tormented by her own merciless sensibilities, viewing mankind with a wry, hard suspicion. Fery fine, first edition, first printing, in brown cloth boards, in good (price-clipped; flap creases; sl chipping to spine) mylar-protected dust jacket.. A104

We specialize in collectible, contemporary signed first editions. First edition means the first printing. (Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person. All our books are hardcover, unless the book is an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or PBO. You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise
