New York: Rinehart & Co, 1959. Later printing. Signed and inscribed by the author, John D. Weaver, to film director, Delbert Mann and his wife: “For Del and Ann, who know the joys, sorrows, triumphs, and astonishments of my favorite and somewhat old fashioned institution - marriage. Best wishes, John D. Weaver.” Illustrated with drawings by David Lunn. Fine bright copy in a lightly used dust jacket with some fading to the spine and with a few small tears. The often hilarious and always genuine and warm autobiographical story of the ups and downs of married life. Delbert Mann (1920 - 2007) was an accomplished director who came from the Golden Age of Television ("Philco Playhouse," "Goodyear Television Playhouse," and "Producers' Showcase") and went on to great success in film, and is perhaps best known for his Oscar-winning direction of the classic film Marty.
