Richard and Dorothy Rodgers's Copy of Give Up? by Whitney Darrow, Jr.

A Friend of the Blog writes with photos of Richard and Dorothy Rodgers's personalized copy of the cartoon collection Give Up? Published in 1966, this copy of the book was inscribed by cartoonist Whitney Darrow, Jr., to the composer and his wife in the year of publication. A delightful watercolor sketch on the theme of the title cartoon is included.
