THE MOST OF S.J. PERELMAN. (Introduction by Dorothy Parker).

New York: Simon & Schuster, 1958.

1st Edition. Hardcover. Signed by Author. INSCRIBED COPY OF THIS SPLENDID COMPILATION FROM THE GREAT HUMORIST. Important Presentation Copy. First edition. White cloth over red boards stamped in red, gold & blue. 8vo., 651pp. A near fine copy [a few tiny rust stains in the gutter of the front cover] in dustwrapper showing a hint of fade to the more delicate ink colours on the spine panel. A very nice example inscribed by the author to the uncredited editor of this collection: "To Julie Colmore, / in Lieu of Emeralds / S. J. Perelman / 15 September / 1958". The Perelman inscription is his take on the lowly pay scale at the time for this unsung Simon & Schuster editor. A very nice association copy indeed.
