[minor shelfwear to base of spine, otherwise a tight clean copy; jacket spine slightly sun-darkened, minor chipping at top of spine]. Romantic comedy about a blind New York attorney and his relationship with his next-door neighbor, a free-spirited hippie girl, a liaison highly disapproved-of by his mother. The original Broadway production ran for almost three years, and earned a Tony Award for Blythe Danner (as the hippie chick); director Milton Katselas and actress Eileen Heckart were also nominated. (Among the performers who replaced the original cast members during its run was Gloria Swanson, who chewed the scenery as the disapproving mom during the 1971/72 season.) Katselas also directed the 1972 film version (screenplayed by Gershe), which starred Edward Albert (son of Eddie) and Goldie Hawn (everybody's favorite hippie-chick of that era), with Heckart reprising her original Broadway role and picking up an Oscar to make up for not getting the Tony.

Store description
Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
