[Signed] She loves me. SIGNED and DEDICATED by Harnick, Masteroff, Massey, Cook Masteroff, Joe; Harnick, Sheldon; [Very Good] [Hardcover]
926.26 CAD
Hardback with Dust Jacket. 8vo, 1st edition, pp. 121. Features an illustrated frontispiece by Al Hirschfeld, and eight photographs from the stage production. Publisher's original red cloth with white lettering to spine. Dust Jacket is price clipped. It is creased along the lower rim of the front cover, and there is also some loss. Loss towards the top and bottom spine. Soiling to rear cover. Some colour from the Dust Jacket has bled onto the underside of the Dust Jacket and there are some tape marks present. Restoration work has been carried out on the front cover over the faces of Daniel Massey and Barbara Cook. Therefore we have downgraded the listing of the Jacket to Good, the hardback itself is Very Good, with minor signs of shelf wear to top and lower spine. Name and address of former owner has been scratched out on ffep. Signed and Dedicated by lyricist Sheldon Harnick ""For Mike, I echo all the other comments. Sheldon Harnick. 9/20/04""; Author of the of the libretto in a book form, Masteroff "" For Mike Martin - without whom.Joe Masteroff""; the first actor to portray Amalia Balash, Barbara Cook "" Dear, Dear Mike. She loves YOU! All good things - Barbara Cook. 8/5/88""; and the first actor to portray Georg Nowack, Daniel Massey. ""Dear Mike - what a friend you are - for Barbara, to all of us - many, many thanks. Daniel Massey."" Unlike the smash-hit Fiddler on the roof or the Pulitzer winning Fiorello, ""She loves me"" still retains a special place in the hearts of many fans. It had a relatively short run on Broadway, and a film project was never realised - a cause of some sadness to Harnick and Masteroff. However, some songs have remained in the canon ""Dear Friend"" (recorded famously by Julie Andrews, appearing in the soundtrack of a more recent film ""You've got mail"", starring Meg Ryan. This film has possibly been inspired by the musical) Scarce. Whilst it is difficult to establish the relationship between the dedicatee and the various personalities, it suggests a relationship of some personal (if not professional)capacity. In any event, it suggests a real camaraderie between the many forces that came together to create this endearing musical.

Very entertaining account of the careers of Negro League star pitchers ""Smokey Joe"" Williams and ""Cannonball"" Dick Redding. Joseph Williams (April 6, 1886 ? February 25, 1951), nicknamed ""Cyclone Joe"" and ""Smokey Joe"", was an American right-handed pitcher in Negro league baseball. He is considered one of the greatest pitchers of all-time and was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. Richard Redding (April 15, 1890 ? October 31, 1948), nicknamed ""Cannonball"", was an American pitcher, outfielder, and manager in baseball's Negro leagues. One of the great pitchers of black baseball, Dick Redding's overpowering speed earned the big, tall right-hander the nickname ""Cannonball Dick."" Along with his speed, Dick utilized a no-windup deliver and developed a ""hesitation pitch"" long before Satchel Paige appeared on the baseball scene. Redding was credited with 30 no-hitters against all levels of opposition during a career that began with top teams in 1911, at age twenty. In his career, he played for the Philadelphia Giants, New York Lincoln Giants, Lincoln Stars, Indianapolis ABC's, Chicago American Giants, Brooklyn Royal Giants, and Bacharach Giants.
