Every Night Josephine, Signed + Original Drawing Laid In
[Signed Presentation, Original Drawing Laid In] Susann, Jacqueline. Every Night, Josephine. First Edition. 1963. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good plus condition—jacket shows a repaired tear and fraying. This copy is warmly inscribed, “To ‘Charlie Brown’s’ mommy & daddy—Love, ‘Josephine’ & her ‘mommy’ & ‘daddy,’ Jacqueline Susan, 5/5/64.” Laid in is a drawing of Josephine and Charlie Brown on a half sheet of typewriter paper in blue ink, signed “Jacqueline Susann.”
Written several years before Valley of the Dolls made Jacqueline Susann a household name, this charming memoir centers on Josephine, the poodle who shared her life and often stole the spotlight. Set amid the cocktail parties, celebrity encounters, and fashionable apartments of mid-century Manhattan, it reveals the warmth, humor, and keen powers of observation that would soon bring Susann worldwide fame.
“For the imaginative poodle who is positive he is a people, there is much to be said about the logic of his reasoning.”
--Jacqueline Susann
