	KEY, TED Hazel , E.P. Dutton, 1947. /, Hard Cover. Good/No DJ. No Edition Stated. SIGNED and Inscribed by Author. 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. Nice little book filled with cartoons featuring Hazel, America's favorite maid. Signed on page specially designed for it by both Key and "Hazel." Book has sustained damage to first page of cartoons. For some unknown reason (there are no tears) someone had placed tape down the length of the page near the binding and then later removed it causing a narrow two inch long hole. Fortunately, it's off to the side and in no way comprises readability. Other than browning from tape residue in that area, former owner's book plate affixed to front free endpaper, browning to length of rear binding inside and an extra cartoon affixed to rear pastefown, it's not bad for its age!
