Strictly From Hunger
New York: Random House, (1937).
Price: $2,500.00
Hardcover. First edition. Foreword by Robert Benchley. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with rubbing, some small, shallow chips, closed tears, and light overall wear. Inscribed by Perelman on the front fly: “To Laurence Edmunds - Prince of good fellows, gay blade, roisterer, and lover of sultry-eyed women – with love, S.J. Perelman." A nice copy of Perelman's uncommon third book (and second solely authored book), a collection of short pieces including one, "Good News, Bibliophiles!" that has the temerity to make fun of first edition collectors. Seldom found signed.
