Description

First edition autobiography of the great doctor-poet

Signed book: The Autobiography of William Carlos Williams. First edition, first printing. NY: Random House, 1951. Hardcover with dust jacket, 5.75 x 8.5, 402 pages. Signed and inscribed on the half-title page in black ink, "Robert H. Fuller—here's wishing us luck, William Carlos Willams, 10/19/51." Autographic condition: fine, with left edge partially loose from inner hinge. Book condition: VG/VG. Fuller portrayed The Milkman in the stage rendition of Williams's A Dream of Love at New York's Hudson Guild Playhouse in July of 1949. Despite earning initial strong reviews, the timely combination of a heat wave and the theater's lack of air conditioning resulted in the show's cancellation after only a two-week run.
