Auction History Result 1r0276 JAMES THURBER signed hardcover book '57 The Thurber Carnival, great inscription! Date Sold 8/6/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Vintage Autographed Hardcover Book (measures 5" x 7 1/4" [13 x 18 cm]; 370 pages) (Learn More) James Thurber was an author, cartoonist, and humorist from the 1920s to the 1960s. He is best known for writing for the New Yorker magazine and for his many comedic books. He passed away in 1961 at the age of 66. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by James Thurber! Unlike many authors, who simply write their name on the title page, he wrote "see page 253", and then on that page he altered the title of the story and put "From one who knows, Jim Thurber"! Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the back cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: good to very good. There is much scuffing on the dust jacket and tears and tiny paper loss on the top and bottom of the jacket. The book itself is in pretty nice condition. The dust jacket is in a protective sleeve. Learn More about condition grades
