New York: Farrar, Straus & Young, 1952. First Edition Signed by Artie Shaw and dated 1990. Very good in a very good with some chipping and small tears. A thought-provoking and intimate personal odyssey by Artie Shaw (1910 - 2004), offering much information and insight about his life and his journey from the slums of New York’s East Side to the pinnacle of success as a jazz musician and bandleader. He presents his portrayal of the conventional ‘pursuit of happiness’ and its fantasy-based nature when he writes: “The trouble with Cinderella, though as a working concept for living what is laughingly referred to as Life In Our Time, is that nobody lives happily ever after.”
