Not Just a Stooge [*SIGNED*]

Orange CA: Excelsior Books, Inc.. Very Good+. 1984. First Edition. Softcover. [some fading to the front cover along the right-hand edge, a handful of teeny-tiny spot on bottom edge, otherwise only minimal handling wear]. Trade PB (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the title page by both Joe Besser and co-author Jeff Lenburg. Besser is best-remembered as the next-to-last actor to fill the "third of the Three Stooges" role, appearing in the final sixteen short films the trio made for Columbia in the late 1950s (and leaving the act just before the Stooges started making their final string of generally-awful feature films, for which he was replaced by Joe DeRita. However, by the time he became a Stooge he had already enjoyed a long solo career in vaudeville, movies, TV, radio and on Broadway, all of which is covered in his book. Signed by Author .
