1952 · Garden City
by SELDES, Gilbert
Garden City: Doubleday & Company, 1952. Hardcover. Near Fine/Good. First edition. Near fine in good or better dustwrapper sunned at the spine and with tears along the edges of the flaps. Seldes's own copy with an Autograph Letter Signed by Max Wylie ("Max W."), bestselling author and creator of the television series *The Flying Nun*, to Seldes: "Dear Gil: How well you write! How well you think! Wonderful fun and excitement - all thru this book. And it doesn't sound 'old' - And it does sound prophetic. Very best - We'll keep in touch. Merry Xmas, Max W." Wylie apparently liked the book enough to appropriate the title for his own 1970 book, *Writing for Television.* A nice association.
