$5,000 · Offered by Burnside Rare Books

First edition · Signed

New York: Random House, 1936. First edition. One of 300 copies signed by Cole Porter, unnumbered so presumably one of 50 presentation copies not for sale. Original red, white, and blue silk, lettered and ruled in gilt. Very Good overall. The unusual silk binding was quite prone to wear along edges; this copy has fraying along edges of the spine, exposed tips, white silk shows foxing, but better than average shape
