First Edition. Red hard cloth in the excellent and unclipped dust-jacket designed by Stein. 288 pages, edge o the last two pages tattered. Some patches of light staining to boards. Clean and bright copy with no old inscriptions. A warm and funny novel about the first eight years in the life of a boy born in Brooklyn in 1920. Surprised to learn that he is not the center of the universe, Tippy is not unduly dismayed because there are so many fascinating characters around to observe and puzzle over - like the mysterious and charming professional gambler, Prince Sharkey, and the indomitable Mr Duffy, father of many, who advises little Tippy to quit horsing around and settle down with a nice girl. "I little thought that I should ever go on like this over a book about a small boy, especially one named Tippy. But here I am, and naked of apologies" - Dorothy Parker.
