A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" [17 x 24 cm]; 310 pages) With An Autographed Index Card (Learn More) Bennett Cerf was a publisher and author from the 1920s to the 1970s. He was one of the founders of the book publisher Random House. Late in life, he achieved major celebrity as one of the regular panelists on the game show "What's My Line?", and he was well known for his bad puns and his banter with host John Charles Daly. He passed away in 1971 at the age of 73. Important Added Info: Note that this book has an index card glued to the second interior page which has been personally autographed (signed) by Bennett Cerf (he signed it in 1958 and dated it)! 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. When the person glued the signed card to the interior page, they caused the first 16 pages to be creased diagonally in the far right. There is faint scuffing on the dust jacket. The dust jacket is in a protective sleeve. Learn More about condition grades
