pp. xxiii, 163. Illustrated with photos from Field's movies, state acts, and vaudeville routines. Fist issued in 1940, a presidential year, and Fields at the height of his popularity. The incumbent, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, had very little to worry about from Fields the candidate. But Fields certainly offered a few nuggets of political wisdom in his book for the public to chew on. For example, he poked fun at one of FDR's major policies with this statement: "I shall, my fellow citizens, offer no such empty panaceas as a New Deal, or an Old Deal, or even a Re-Deal. No, my friends, the reliable old False Shuffle was good enough for my father and it's good enough for me." The book's chapters closely followed the typical issues that the on-screen Fields delighted in: 'My Views on Marriage'; 'How to Beat the Federal Income Tax - and What to See and Do at Alcatraz'; 'My Rules of Etiquette'; 'The Care of Babies'; 'How I have Built Myself into a Physical Marvel'; 'How to Suceed in Business'; Etc. An example from 'The Care of Babies': "I always carried a number of sterilized blindfolds, which I would casually place over a baby's eyes before I kissed it. This prevented its growth from being stunted through terror." The photos in this edition are quite remarkable. First photo illustrated edition. HUMOR 8

pp. xviii, 260. Decorated title page. 8vo. Original full green gold stamped cloth binding. Spine slightly darkened. Finley Peter Dunne (1867-1936) was an American humorist and writer from Chicago. His fictional 'Mr. Dooley' expounded upon political and social issues of the day from his South Side Chicago Irish pub and he spoke with the thick verbiage and accent of an Irish immigrant from County Roscommon. Dunne's sly humor and political acumen even won the support of President Theodore Roosevelt, who was a frequent target of Mr. Dooley's barbs.

In 24, pp. 31 + (1). Br. ed. Farsa del duca di Ventignano che costitui' di fatto una delle prime pubblicazioni dell'editore fiorentino Adriano Salani. Nel 1866, su quattro titoli pubblicati, ben tre erano operette teatrali, genere allora popolare e apprezzato. Questo testo inauguro' la Collana di farse, monologhi, commedie e vaudevilles che raccogliera' poi 258 titoli e uscira' fino al 1918 (cfr. Franco Angeli, Libri buoni e a buon prezzo, p. 17). Queta farsa fu uno dei cavalli di battaglia di tanti caratteristi dell'Ottocento, fra i quali in particolare Emilio Zago.
