Yes, My Darling Daughters

London: Heinemann. Very Good+ in Near Fine dj. 1960 (c.1959). 1st U.K. edition. Hardcover. [light shelfwear, minor spotting to edges of text block, one-time owner's name stamped on front pastedown; jacket is very nice, slightly browned at spine but otherwise unblemished]. Set in Los Angeles, this light-hearted novel deals with a novelist-screenwriter and his three unruly teenage daughters. Like his protagonist, the author was a science-fiction writer and sometime-screenwriter (his most notable credit was THE TIME MACHINE, but he was also responsible for such lower-grade fare as MONSTER ON THE CAMPUS and THE LEECH WOMAN) -- and according to his (truncated) IMdB data, he had (wait for it....) three daughters. .
