About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1991. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/very good. Oblong quarto, 306pp., illustrated. A very good copy of this heavy tome, gently shaken, with some light rubbing to the bottoms of the boards, and a faint bump to the bottom corner of the page block. In a very good dust jacket, age-toned along the extremities, as often. This copy SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Hirschfeld on the half-title page in the year of publication to one of the subjects of a portrait included in the book: "To Barnard Hughes & Helen Stenborg. HIRSCHFELD 11.12.91." Hughes and Stenborg, who were married, were both prominent actors. Hirschfeld's portrait of Hughes appears on p. 293. Though Hirschfeld was generous with his signature, this is the only copy we found presently in commerce inscribed to one of his subjects. Attractive thus.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
