All of history?s pageantry and a host of famous figures await the reader?s perusal: bound together by Les Dawson?s outrageously anarchic sense of fun, it is a rich legacy of laughter which will be enjoyed by his countless fans.* A NEAR FINE text copy of the 1st/1st with some minimal age to edges in a FINE protected dust jacket.*
