In late 1942, he met his first wife, Barbara Jean Day, who purportedly resembled his cartoon character Morticia Addams. The marriage ended eight years later, after Addams, who hated small children, refused to adopt one. She later married New Yorker colleague John Hersey, author of the book Hiroshima.. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Poor/Poor.

Every book here was valued by the person who first bought it and will be just as prized by the person who buys it now from my shopping website.
