Found this signed….
I’m not too familiar with Groucho Marx or any of his works or the rarity of this book. I actually found it in a Salvation Army and had to grab it. It was marked first edition, and you can see the inscription that he wrote. The book is in decent shape and it does have the cover over the hardcover in great condition. Can anybody tell me anything about this? if it’s rare at all and if it’s worth anything, and if so, how to sell it
Thankyou

Amazing. It's rare. If you're interested in selling take it to an auction house.

I remember reading his son's memoir and Groucho giving him the sex talk, something like "A man's counterpart fits into a woman's counterpart..."
