Description

Burny Mattinson's copy with his name & address stamped on the front free endpaper.

A very sharp, well above average copy of this Ronald Searle title from 1964. The dustjacket is bright and sharp with just a 1" closed tear--invisible under a protective dustjacket cover--marring it.

A Searle travelogue, from Alaska through Canada and down the US Eastern seaboard to Florida. With REMARKS BY GROUCHO MARX and COMMENTARIES BY JANE CLAPPERTON. Cartoons and reportage originally published in Holiday Magazine in the 1950s and 1960s.

This came from the library of Burny Mattinson (1935-2023), an animator, director, producer, and story artist for Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1953 until his death in 2023. Mattinson directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Great Mouse Detective. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
