Price: $3,500.00
Softcover. First edition. Folio. Illustrated wrappers. 56pp. Small owner's label of W.W. Havens on the rear wrapper, his name neatly inked on the front wrap, two strategically placed Scarlet Mask "stickers" (difficult to notice unless you know they weren't issued thus). Additionally, Havens has neatly embellished some of the art on the front wrap. A few tears along the spine, near fine. An attractive copy of the musical score for one of Thurber's first works, a musical play by the Scarlet Mask Club of Ohio State University. Havens was one of those who contributed additional words and music to the play. Additionally, this copy has been Signed on a tipped in leaf (presumably collected at a performance) by James Thurber, by Howard E. Hawk and Richard E. Fidler (who were the principal music contributors), as well as by about four dozen others, most of whom were presumably members of the cast, and some of whom also contributed occasional words and music. *Bowden* D2. Scarce and early Thurber item. Rare signed.
