Perelman to the future acclaimed television comedy screenwriter David Lloyd, who in later life also became a noted book collector. Inscribed: “To David Lloyd, cordially, S.J. Perelman”. This was book was inscribed to Lloyd when he was 18 and became the first book in Lloyd’s collection. In 2008, the Writers Guild of America sat down David Lloyd for a video interview on his life (available on YouTube), and in it Lloyd remarks how much he admires S.J. Perelman. ”I loved S.J. Perelman. Perelman’s use of the language was absolutely incredible and his vocabulary was amazing”. David Lloyd (1934–2009) wrote television comedies for series such as The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, Taxi, Cheers, Frasier and Wings. Lloyd wrote "Chuckles Bites the Dust", an October 1975 episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, for which he won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series and is regarded today as one of most famous television episodes of all time. The book is very good in a very good price-clipped dust jacket with a few small chips.
