Description: Signed paperback copy of Alan Young's 2006 book: There's No Business Like Show Business...Was. Published by BearManor Media. This book was sold on Mr. Young's website which was online from 2002-2014 - the domain name was: www.mister-ed.tv. The book is unread. There are a couple of scuffs on the front and back covers. I managed the website for Mr. Young and was fortunate to have taken the photo of him on the back cover (which he liked a lot). There is a slight paper ding near the "g" on "Young" on the signature page. This is a sweet book of anecdotes written in Mr. Young's easy style. CHAPTER ONE: Radio - the simple life!
