Item Details
Description
"Trolley to the Moon" by Eric Hodgins, published by Simon and Schuster, 1973 First edition, first printing with "First Printing" statement on the copyright page.
Hard boards, original black cloth with red and gold lettering on spine [fade to the boards and spine]; 6.1/2" x 9.1/2"; 467 pages, very good condition.
"Biography of Eric Hodgins, the author of "Mr. Blandings Builds his Dreamhouse." Fascinating for fans of this popular book and 1949 movie based on the author's experience building his own "dreamhouse." The biography covers much more, revealing a man with a dry sense of humor and a life with plenty of sadness. Before the huge success of "Mr. Blandings," Hodgins had to sell his dreamhouse, which included a wine cellar and was the first home in the US to have an automated dishwasher."
"A well-written, observant, sometimes funny autobiography of the writer who became editor of Fortune magazine, and is most well-known for his film adapted novel MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE. The autobiography also recalls history starting from his keen boyhood observances and onward through the 1920s, the depression, the war years, his M.I.T years, and etc." [a review]
US: Priority (c 2-4 days) ----------- $12.50
