This is Wunnerful, Wunnerful! The Autobiography of Lawrence Welk, written with Bernice McGeehan and published by Prentice-Hall in 1971, with a signature on the front endpaper that has not been verified.
The dust jacket has a sticker stain, staining on the back panel, and wear at the edges and corners, as the photos show.
Welk tells his story from a North Dakota farmhouse and his first accordion, in a chapter called My Four-Hundred-Dollar Accordion, to bandleader and Saturday night television host. A black and white photo insert draws on Welk's own collection, and the copyright page reads Sixth printing, December 1971. Please scroll in and judge the signature for yourself.
