New York, NY, U.S.A. Random House, Incorporated 1977 0-394-47877-0 / 9780394478777 First Edition, First Printing
Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Bound in full brown cloth. Both the spine and the front panel are stamped in gilt. Octavo. Decorative endpapers. [ix] + 306pps., with numerous illustrations. An excellent copy: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has mild touches of rubbing and is slightly crinkled at the spine-ends; the original price is intact.
"...Part of the vanguard of young New York publishers who revolutionized the book business in the 1920s and '30s, Cerf helped usher in publishing's golden age. Cerf was a true personality, whose other pursuits (columnist, anthologist, author, lecturer, radio host, collector of jokes and anecdotes, perennial judge of the Miss America pageant, and panelist on What's My Line?) helped shape his reputation as a man of boundless energy and enthusiasm and brought unprecedented attention to his company and to his authors. At once a rare behind-the-scenes account of book publishing and a fascinating portrait of four decades' worth of legendary authors, from James Joyce to William Faulkner to Ralph Ellison and Eudora Welty, 'At Random' is a feast for bibliophiles and anyone who's ever wondered what goes on inside a publishing house..."
