Here's a COOL membership directory for the I.B.V. - the International  Brotherhood of Ventriloquists.  The IBV was founded in the late 1930's and was active until it was dissolved in 1960.

          This directory (the follow-up to the original 1953 edition) was published in 1955 and features a double dedication to Edgar Bergen and The Great Lester. Published and edited by W.S. Berger. The directory is FILLED with the names and contact info of the I.B.V. membership at that time, and includes LOTS of ads for figure makers and photos of vents, etc. Also includes a necrology section, which is invaluable for serious researchers!

          In VERY FINE condition, with the only condition issue being some mild water damage to the interior pages on the bottom edge. Still looks fine and the maild "waviness" does not detract.

          40pp, 5" x 6-1/4" softcover.

         RARE! Comes in an archival mylar sleeve with acid-free backboard.

$25.00
