What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

First edition. 

With the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.

Based on Eugene O'Neill's 1921 play 'Anna Christie', which follows a prostitute who tries to live down her past. 'New Girl' ends far more hopefully than the play however, with more of a focus on love's ability to conquer all. 

With music and lyrics by Bob Merrill, who was one of the most successful songwriters on the 1950s on the US and UK single charts. 

Abbott received numerous honours throughout his career, including six Tony Awards, the Pulitzer Prize and the National Medal of Arts. 

Condition

In the original cloth binding. With the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with only minor shelf wear. Dust wrapper is very smart, with marks to the wrap and minor sunning to the spine. Internally, firmly bound with bright and clean pages.
