Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

A Fair copy of a title in which "In this, the most famous book of its kind, American humor is presented at its best and freshest. No effort was made by the editors to make this collection the most complete or the most historically representative collection of American humorous writing. The sole idea was to put together in one volume the funniest things that have ever been written in this country." Volume has musty smell. Pale boards are excessively stained. Spine is very dark with spots of paint, making the spine very hard to read. Wear to page edgings on all sides with a slight wave along the top edge. Previous owner's book plate remains inside the front cover without a name. Staining along the spine inside both boards. Spotting to some pages. Contents:"Preface; Stories and people: Benny and the bird-dogs / Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings; Christopher K*a*p*l*a*n / Leonard Q.
