    Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. E. B. White's (1899-1985) first book, a collection of advertisements that ran in The New Yorker that White wrote anonymously and photographed himself with mannequins from Wanamaker's Department Store. [Hall A1] White, ever the humorist, inscribed this copy to himself: "To E.B. White without whose skill with a camera, untiring desire to make money and patience, I and Flora would still be in Wanamaker's where we belong --Sterling Finny". Taped to the title page verso is a typewritten note signed "EBW" and dated August 27, 1967, giving the background on the Sterling Finny advertisements and how they were created to promote The New Yorker. According to White, this book was produced in-house by The New Yorker advertising department to be sent to advertisers and agents--which may explain its somewhat weak binding. White's name never appeared in the ads, like many of his contributions to The New Yorker for "Talk of the Town" pieces. There is no record of the number of copies produced, it is assumed that it was a very small print run. White has also penciled in John Hanrahan's name under the Prologue and Epilogue titles indicating his authorship of those pieces. A rare and unique first book, inscribed by the author to himself, by a giant in the field of American letters. From the Estate of Joel (1930-1997) & Allene White. Unpag. 8vo. Minimal wear to boards, bumping to corners and tiny losses; green cloth spine with light fraying at head and foot. Light green title label pasted to front board. Text block has separated from boards. Clean and crisp within. Issue without dust jacket. Housed in custom clamshell box.
