    Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. Stated First Printing, First Edition. This is the genuine First edition, not the book club edition. You can see the covers in the photos. They are pretty clean, one small spot on the rear. There's some light toning off the top edge of the front and rear. The gilt lettering on the front and spine is nicely bright. The spine ends have only a little bit of crinkling. The cover edges are in solid shape, a few tiny nicks, no rubbing. The corners look very good. There is a crease below the top corner of the rear cover. The page edges are in very good shape, the top one has a blue topstain. It looks very good. The middle page edge is deckled or rough-cut. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in very nice condition. The pages are very clean. There is a light bit of toning on the semi-glossy pages that have photographs. And I saw a little bit of the same toning on the text pages that face the semi-glossy photographs. Two of those photographs have a thin bit of scuffing just adjacent to the junctures with their facing text pages. Scrolling through the pages, I'm not finding any creasing. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. The spine is clearly toned/tanned. There is a small tear off the top edge of the rear cover. There are a few very tiny tears off the top edge of the spine, and there is a thin bit of loss off the bottom edge of the spine. The spine also has a couple of light spots. The flaps are in solid shape. There's a little bit of crinkling off the top edge of the front flap. There's a teeny tiny tear off the bottom edge of the rear flap. The jacket is NOT price-clipped ($3.50), not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned.

    Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Very Good dj. Fireside BCE. [minor shelfwear, mild age-toning to fore-edge, Hollywood agency stamp on front pastedown and endpaper; the jacket is browned along the spine and at the edges, with a short tear at the lower front flap-fold, and the Hollywood agency stamp on the front flap]. (B&W photographs) The book and lyrics (but not the music) for the Broadway musical about Fiorello LaGuardia, the popular New York City mayor who served from 1934 to 1945. The musical was popular, too: it ran for two seasons (November 1959-October 1961; 795 performances), and did very well in the major theatre awards, winning three Tony Awards (including Best Musical, shared with "The Sound of Music," and Best Featured Actor for star Tom Bosley), the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Musical. And yet it's never made it into the canon of "great Broadway musicals," and none of its songs has ever become a standard.

(B&W photographs) Musical comedy about shop workers who dislike each other in person but fall in love through their pen-pal correspondence, derived from the same play ("Parfumerie" by Miklós László) which was the source for Ernst Lubitsch's lovely 1940 film THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER.

    Original playbill of this classic play. Octavo, original illustrated wrappers as issued. Presentation copy, inscribed by the lyricist Sheldon Harnick on the front panel, "For Peter: Sheldon Harnick 12/16/15." In near fine condition. Fiddler on the Roof is a musical with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joseph Stein, set in the Pale of Settlement of Imperial Russia in 1905. It is based on Tevye and his Daughters (or Tevye the Dairyman) and other tales by Sholem Aleichem. The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his Jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon the family's lives. He must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters, who wish to marry for love â" each one's choice of a husband moves further away from the customs of their Jewish faith and heritage â" and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village. The original Broadway production of the show, which opened in 1964, had the first musical theatre run in history to surpass 3,000 performances. Fiddler held the record for the longest-running Broadway musical for almost 10 years until Grease surpassed its run. It remains the seventeenth longest-running show in Broadway history. The production was extraordinarily profitable and highly acclaimed. It won nine Tony Awards, including best musical, score, book, direction and choreography. It spawned five Broadway revivals and a highly successful 1971 film adaptation and has enjoyed enduring international popularity. It has also been a popular choice for school and community productions.
