A propos de cet article

Octavo, 207pp. A fine, crisp copy in like dust jacket. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Bombeck on the half-title page. Preceding her inscription is a gift inscription from the previous owner, which Bombeck cheekily acknowledges in her own inscription. The gift inscription reads: "After wading through countless books, I was down to two and couldn't decide. Connie's response: Go for the humor! So I Did! Merry Christmas 1995. - Jim." Bombeck writes below: "Jim - Tell me the other choice wasn't Rush Limbaugh! I wish I could have met you personally. It's something to look forward to - Erma Bombeck." Laid-in is a printed greeting card from Bombeck's family, which was printed after her death in April 1996 to distribute to family and friends. On the back of the card is a lengthy note from Erma's husband, Bill Bombeck: "Dear Jim and Jackie - Thank you for your card and kind words about Erma. It was thoughtful of you to remember her and her family. Bill Bombeck (you can now call Jay "Governor."). This book emerged from a large collection of unrelated books, and so we have no information about the parties involved here. However, it's worth noting that the prolific writer died in April 1996, just a few months after the book's publication in late 1995, and while she was generous with her autograph during her life, she was ill with kidney disease at the time of publication, and signed very few copies of her last book (though she was lucid and cogent until the end, filing her last column on April 17, 1996, a mere five days before her death). An appealing inscribed book from one of the great chroniclers of middle American 20th century life.
