With its spine cover missing and its cover worn and yellowed, a certain copy of Please Pass the Hostess (1949) by New Yorker cartoonist Whitney Darrow, Jr., cannot be said to have been passed down to us in ideal condition. Nevertheless, it provides an excellent example of Darrow's bold signature, here in green ink.
Note: Attempted Bloggery seeks to publish images from books uniquely signed, inscribed, or sketched in by New Yorker staff. Readers are urged to assist in this quest.
