About This Item
Simon and Schuster, 1935. Book. Illus. by Soglow, Otto. Hardcover. Extremely funny book of comedy, witty comebacks and humorous stories to be told at dinner parties and other gatherings, shows style that was popular among educated people but still showing it's links to 19th century and early 20th century comedy, illustrated with cartoons and written by comtemporarie of Dorothy Parker and George Kaufman. As Dietz says in his intro, a formula for making you " the life or knife of the party". Third Printing, (same year as First Printing), there's some minor chipping and soiling to the dustjacket but the DJ is intact and bright for a book now usually lacking a DJ, overall VERY GOOD COPY WITH DJ..
