http://www.erols.com/agvent

HIRSCHFELD,  Al. SHOW BUSINESS IS NO BUSINESS. New  York:  Simon &
Schuster  (1951). First Edition. Illustrated by the author. This  copy
INSCRIBED  and  SIGNED by the artist on the page with the  publisher's
logo:  "For  the Heyn's/with much love/HIRSCHFELD 7/77."  In  addition
Hirschfeld  has  drawn  an ORIGINAL  SELF-PORTRAIT  incorporating  the
Simon  &  Schuster  spotlight transforming it into a bass that  he  is
strumming.  While  signed  books  by   Hirschfeld  are  still  readily
obtainable,  those with original drawings, especially one such as this
that  superbly captures the artist's wit and imagination, have  become
quite scarce. Very Good in a Very Good dustwrapper.           $1000.00
