Andy Kaufman Revealed!: Best Friend Tells All [*SIGNED*]

Boston/New York/London: Little, Brown and Company. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.1999). First Edition. Hardcover. [nice clean copy, slight browning to edges of text block but no significant shelfwear; the jacket is similarly nice, with light surface wear only]. (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author, opposite the title -- as both "Tony Clifton" and himself. (The "Clifton" inscription is completely in character: "To ____, / Why don't you lose / the old guy and go out / with me. / Tony Clifton." The other inscription, below, reads: "Best wishes / Bob Zmuda.") A memoir of the author's long friendship and collaboration with Andy Kaufman (1949-1984), a unique and memorable figure of late 20th-century comedy. One of the enduring mysteries of Kaufman's career was the true identity of "Tony Clifton," an outrageously and deliberately offensive alter ego developed by Kaufman (but often played by Zmuda). [NOTE: It might look like the dust jacket is mis-trimmed, off-center, etc., but it's designed that way.] Signed by Author .
