1959035710New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1959. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. octavo. 362pp. Green cloth brown spine with gilt lettering.Stated First Edition. Wear to the corners otherwise internally clean and unmarked. "book gives the lesser-known Gershwin brother the one who wrote "the words" a chance not only to see his lyrics for such songs as "Embraceable You" "Someone to Watch over Me" and 102 others stand on their own but also to tell the classic showbiz stories behind each one. Sometimes these take the form of name-dropping personal anecdotes and sometimes they're accounts of peculiar lyric challenges and how he solved them. Gershwin reveals that the original "dummy" lyric for the tricky "I Got Rhythm" was "Roly-Poly/ Eating solely/ Ravioli/ Better watch your diet or bust." Either as showbiz memoir or pure poetry Gershwin's book is a delight. Alfred A. Knopf Hardcover

06675London: Elm Tree Books - Hamish Hamilton 1977. This Book Is Honored to Be in Your Library"<br /> A Gracious Presentation from Ira Gershwin to Leslie Bricusse<br /> <br /> GERSHWIN Ira. Lyrics on Several Occasions. A selection of stage & screen lyrics written for sundry situations; and now arranged in arbitrary categories. To which have been added many informative annotations & disquisitions on their why & wherefore their whom-for their how; and matters associative. By Ira Gershwin Gent. London: Elm Tree Books - Hamish Hamilton 1977. <br /> <br /> First UK edition. Octavo 8 1/2 x 5 3/8 inches; 216 x 137 mm. xvi 1-2 3-362 i-ix 3 blank pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's original red cloth over boards spine lettered in silver top edge stained black. Lower corners very slightly bumped otherwise fine. In the original pictorial dust jacket near fine with only light wear and a touch of toning-an unusually well-preserved example of a jacket often found faded.<br /> <br /> Inscribed on the front free endpaper in a bold characteristic hand:<br /> <br /> "Dear Leslie Bricusse:<br /> This book is honored to be<br /> in your library<br /> With kindest<br /> Regards<br /> Ira Gershwin."<br /> <br /> A superb association copy uniting two of the most accomplished lyricists of the twentieth century. <br /> <br /> Ira Gershwin whose collaborations with his brother defined the American musical idiom here addresses Leslie Bricusse the Oscar- and Grammy-winning writer behind Willy Wonka Doctor Dolittle and countless standards - an artist who in many respects carried forward the urbane wit and structural elegance of the Gershwin tradition.<br /> <br /> What distinguishes this inscription is its tone: not merely courteous but deferential and admiring - "honored to be in your library" - a phrase that elevates the volume from a routine presentation to a genuine gesture of peer recognition.<br /> <br /> Published late in Gershwin's life Lyrics on Several Occasions serves as his definitive self-curated anthology enriched with annotations anecdotes and reflections on the genesis of his work. In this context the copy becomes something more than a book: it is a symbolic passing of the torch between generations of master craftsmen.<br /> <br /> Association copies of Gershwin are uncommon; those inscribed to major creative contemporaries of Bricusse's stature are decidedly rare and highly desirable in both literary and musical collecting spheres.

06676New York: Elm Tree Books - Hamish Hamilton 1973. Who.Gets the Scope of the Thing"<br /> A Playful Insider Inscription from Ira Gershwin to Leslie Bricusse<br /> <br /> GERSHWIN Ira. Lyrics on Several Occasions. A selection of stage & screen lyrics written for sundry situations; and now arranged in arbitrary categories. To which have been added many informative annotations & disquisitions on their why & wherefore their whom-for their how; and matters associative. By Ira Gershwin. New York: The Viking Press 1973.<br /> <br /> First paperback Viking Compass edition. Octavo 7 3/4 x 5 1/8 inches; 197 x 130 mm. xviii 1-2 3-371 1 blank 1 1 blank pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's original color printed wrappers. A near fine copy unusually crisp for this format.<br /> <br /> A notably animated and revealing presentation inscribed on the front free endpaper:<br /> <br /> "For Leslie Bricusse<br /> who like the undersigned<br /> 'sort of gets the scope of<br /> the thing and then scopes<br /> it out.'<br /> Ira Gershwin<br /> Jan. 12 '74."<br /> <br /> With a small penciled note in Gershwin's hand beneath: "see p. 43" and signed again by Bricusse at the foot of the page - an appealing and seldom-seen dual-mark of author and recipient.<br /> <br /> An exceptionally engaging association copy far more intimate in tone than the usual formal presentation inscription. Here Ira Gershwin addresses Leslie Bricusse not as admirer or dedicatee but as a fellow practitioner of the craft.<br /> The central phrase - "gets the scope of the thing and then scopes it out" - is quintessential Gershwin: witty slightly elliptical and quietly profound. It distills the lyricist's process into a kind of private shorthand - intuition first refinement second - shared here as a knowing aside between equals.<br /> <br /> Particularly desirable are the additional layers of interaction: The direction to "see p. 43" suggesting a specific lyric or passage of shared significance Bricusse's own signature confirming receipt and preserving the moment of exchange.<br /> <br /> These small but meaningful features elevate the book from a simple presentation to a document of creative dialogue.<br /> Compared with the more formal 1977 inscription in your Elm Tree copy this example is:<br /> More spontaneous<br /> More revealing of process<br /> Arguably more desirable to collectors focused on literary/musical interaction.
