Eggs I Have Laid [*SIGNED*]

[modest shelfwear to lower extremities, a touch of dust-soiling to top of text block; jacket moderately soiled, minor paper loss at spine ends, very small chip at lower right corner of front panel, partial splitting along front flap fold]. INSCRIBED to composer/disc jockey Ira Cook and SIGNED by the author on the half-title page. Willson's second book of reminiscences, published two years before "The Music Man" debuted on Broadway (although the jacket blurb refers to it as " the new Feuer and Martin musical"). This book "moves swiftly from the radio and television world of Hollywood, to New York, London, Paris, and back again with Tallulah [Bankhead], Fred Allen, [Ezio] Pinza, and other world-famous people. Yet Mason City, Iowa, is never forgotten, and it all adds up to delightful entertainment." (Jacket illustrator T. [Thornton] Hee was also a Disney artist.) Of Willson's three memoirs, this one has unaccountably become the hardest to find. Signed by Author
