Description
Easton Press, Norwalk. CT. Irving Wallace "The Fabulous Showman: The Life and Times of P.T. Barnum" Leather bound collector's edition. Luxuriously bound in full genuine leather. This is a fast-paced, carefully documented, and rich biography of Barnum, the greatest showman of all time, the American from Bethel, Connecticut, whose eccentricities and oblique, cynical approach to humanity transformed entertainment into a big, incredibly profitable business. As bachelor, husband (twice), father, and grandfather, Barnum comes to life in Mr. Wallace's crowded pages, an exceedingly interesting and human man. Here, too, are New York City in all its nineteenth-century color the London of Queen Victoria, and the Paris of Napoleon III. About the author Irving Wallace (March 19, 1916 - June 29, 1990) was an American best-selling author and screenwriter. Wallace was known for his heavily researched novels, many with a sexual theme. One critic described him as "the most successful of all the many exponents of junk fiction perhaps because he took it all so seriously, not to say lugubriously". Wallace was a blue-collar writer who wrote for a blue-collar audience. Most critics were scornful of his novels' flat prose and pedestrian characters.

Order was well packed and seller was extremely helpful. Had to be out of town and seller was kind enough to hold off on mailing so the books wouldn’t be left on our porch. Thankfully the seller was so easy to work with because we had a horrible thunderstorm with 70-80 mph winds and the books would have been left on the porch and damaged for sure. Will definitely be purchasing from seller again!
