Item description from seller

Presentation copy, inscribed by Bonnie Schiffman and Bill Zehme, respectively, to Eric Idle on the half-title. A collection of more than eighty photographs by Bonnie Schiffman, with text by Bill Zehme, evoking the comic spirit and celebrating the individuals who have shaped a generation's sense of humor. The Monty Python legend is featured in a black and white photograph, sporting a butler's uniform (sans trousers), a cup of tea, and a dinner bell. Quarto. Original blue cloth binding, with silver and blind-stamped titles. A very good copy in a clean and bright dust jacket with some very light edgewear. From the library of revered English actor, comedian, musician, and writer Eric Idle, accompanied by a letter of provenance. Idle (b.1943) is a founding member of the British comedy troupe Monty Python, as well as the parody rock group The Rutles, and is the writer of the music and lyrics for the hit Broadway musical Spamalot.
