1963, Gaily, Gaily The Memoirs of a Cub Reporter in Chicago by Ben Hecht, HBw/dj

Early printing of Gaily, Gaily in 1963; not a First Edition (no First Edition statement on copyright page, but date of 1963 on title page). Overall in GOOD CONDITION. The dust jacket has tiny chips and tears along the edges, a bit of age-toning of white spaces around the edges, fully intact and now handsomely portrayed in a mylar jacket. Light gray cloth boards, little to no edge or corner wear, some fading/loss of color along board edges – can be seen on front board in listing photo, more loss on back board. No interior marks in 227 clean and solidly bound pages. Memoirs of the noted journalist, screenwriter and Zionist, Ben Hecht, as he begins his career in seedy 1920s Chicago. It was the basis for a Norman Jewison directed movie that starred Beau Bridges. B131
