PINTOFF, Ernest
Always Help a Bird (Especially with a Broken Leg)
NY, Harper & Row, (1965). A children's book by this writer and Academy Award-winning film producer. Inscribed by the author to film director Anthony Harvey: "To my good friend, Tony. Ernie." Pintoff has added a drawing of a bird. Oblong quarto; offsetting to rear endpages where a review is laid in; board edges rubbed. Near fine in a good, spine-faded and edgeworn dust jacket with a large corner tear threatening to chip at the lower outer corner of the front panel. Pintoff won an Oscar for the 1963 animated short The Critic, which he produced and directed, and which was written and narrated by Mel Brooks. A nice association copy.
