Amelia Earhart signed first edition, later printing of ''The Fun of It'' published by Brewer, Warren, & Putnam: New York: 1932. Earhart autographs the front free endpaper ''Amelia Earhart'' in black ink. This memoir is the female pilot's second book, discussing her personal background and the achievements of the other daring women in aviation. She's quoted as saying: ''Flying may not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price''. Runs 218pp. Includes very rare mini-record enclosed on the rear pastedown from Earhart's 1932 International Broadcast in London. Book is bound in brown cloth boards with white lettering. Measures 5.5'' x 8.25''. Exterior shows a good deal of wear, with surface abrasions or moisture damage to fabric of rear board and fabric loss to rear hinge and spine base. Interior shows toning to leaves, an absent page (the page with Earhart's picture) and the name of Surf and Sand Hotel, Ocean City, NJ stamped onto the front free endpaper. In good condition.
