About This Item
Boston, MA: Atlantic Monthly/Little, Brown and Company, 1977 Atlantic Monthly/Little, Brown and Company, New York. 1977. Hardcover. Stated 3rd Printing 9/77. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for a F/O name on the front pastedown. Book Condition: Very Good +; light dust soiling to textblock top; small bump to top and bottom of rear board. DJ: Very Good +; NOT Price Clipped ($9.95); light toning to spine; crease on front flap; small closed tear on rear wrap at top. Red paper over boards with black paper overlay on the spine; bright silver lettering on the spine. 374 pp 8vo. This book sparkles with the satirical panache of his best performances and the cosmopolitan sophistication that scintillates in his plays, novels, and short stories. His autobiography is told with exquisite wit and insight. From his birth in April 1921, it spans his extraordinary career as actor, playwright, film star and director, confirming his early belief that he is 'irrevocably betrothed to laughter'. Ustinov's renowned gift for mimicry is exploited to the full in Dear Me. Eccentric relatives, school masters, sergeant majors and manic Hollywood moguls are all brought unforgettably to life. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
