Comments: This Ex-Library copy is in better than acceptable condition. I listed same as acceptable, because of the cover. Text has No markings, highlights, underlining, tears. Tight spine. Library stamp on front end paper and library pocket on back end paper. Top edges are bumped with light water marks. Smooth-out dog-ears. Fore-edge has library stamp. No dust jacket. Soft cover has sticker on bottom spine. Tiny chips to bottom. Moderate to lots of shelf/edge wear. Apart from cover, one can get a lot of use out of this copy at an affordable price. (N 16)

A Different Age But Still Entertaining

It may have been the turning of a different century, but it was also the turning of the era of popular song and the fledgling Tin Pan Alley industry. There are insights to music that you may remember from your childhood (March of the Toys), and comedy from the era (Please Let Me Sleep and Nobody). But even more, there are certain social issues that have changed very little over time (She Was Happy Till She Met You, I'd Leave Ma Happy Home For You) and one number in particular from English theatre that is seething with entendre (Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow-Wow). While these are not the most memorable of the era's pieces, they are well worth looking at again, and hardly a waste of your hard-earned entertainment dollars.
