Silverstein, Shel. Original Manuscript for "Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book a primer for tender young minds." Silverstein printed his name on the title page and printed "Uncle Shelby" over ten times, as well as signing "Uncle Shelby" on the last page. Hand-written and hand-drawn images. This is a funny, outrageous book seemingly addressed to children but really aimed at adults. Famed humorist and author Shel Silverstein never had children of his own and appears quite content with that fact. The cover has ragged margins and the pages are loose with lots of glue stains around the edges, but all of the manuscript is present. Keep children around from it! The book was published in 1961 by Simon and Schuster, New York.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
