I Can Get It for You Wholesale by Jerome Weidman Modern Library Edition No. 225 (1959) • Humorous Personal Inscription Signed by Author • Original Unclipped Dust Jacket About This Book An exceptional, highly collectible hardcover copy of I Can Get It for You Wholesale by Jerome Weidman, published by Modern Library (Random House). This volume features an authentic, personalized author inscription and signature handwritten in red ink on the half-title page: "Tom, Best of luck in the retail business. You'll need it. Jerome Weidman". This 1959 Modern Library edition (No. 225) is not often found still housed in its original pictorial dust jacket ($1.95 price intact), now protected by a brand new, removable archival Brodart mylar sleeve. Why This Copy? (Distinguishing Value) While standard unsigned Modern Library copies occasionally appear on the market, signed or inscribed examples of I Can Get It for You Wholesale are exceptionally scarce. This specific volume stands apart as a premium collector's copy due to three key factors: Thematic Author Inscription: Signed in vibrant red ink on the half-title page, Jerome Weidman added a witty, custom inscription—"For Tom, Best of luck in the retail business. You'll need it."—directly invoking the cutthroat Garment District themes that made the novel a mid-century literary landmark. Unclipped Original Dust Jacket: Most mid-century Modern Library editions survive without jackets or with price-clipped flaps and heavy tape repairs. This copy
