First Edition / First Printing. Fine in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 375 pages. Retrospective collection of previously published books. The single best introduction to the satirical humor and insightful writing of Dave Barry. The first appearance of the titles in this Omnibus Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Rodale Books: Regular-sized volume format in wide oblong shape. Glossy pictorial hard boards with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Text by Dave Barry. Illustrations by Jerry O'Brien. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in one handsome volume, "All The Dave Barry You Could Ever Want". Four certified classics by America's funniest newspaper columnist: "Dave Barry's Guide To Marriage And/Or Sex", "Babies And Other Hazards of Sex", "The Taming of the Screw", and "Claw Your Way To The Top: How To Become The Head Of A Major Corporation In Roughly A Week". Especially in these surreal time of severe economic confusion and turmoil, Dave Barry's solicitous advice is not just relevant, it is essential. An absolute "must-have" title for Dave Barry collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Dave Barry. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Edition Thus/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the finest humorist/writers and an American national treasure. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DAVE BARRY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
