About This Item
From the hard cover dust jacket that is on a different listing: "In 1939, Vaughan came to work for the Kansas City Star, where he remained for thirty-seven years, except for three years spent in the Army Air Force in World War II. Shortly after his return from Europe, Vaughan was given "Starbeams," thought to be the oldest continuously published column in the country (it originated in 1880).
Bill Vaughan died in February 1977, but his humor, compassion, and understanding of the human condition have made his work immortal."
Book - Fine condition. Blue cloth over boards w gold gilt text and image on front and text on spine. Very minimal edge/corner wear. Clean and tight.
Note: this copy has a gold gilt wreath seal impressed on the cover. It says, "Happy Holidays from your friends in the Bond Department of United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A." (United Missouri Bank changed it's name to UMB Bank, N.A. in 1994 to reflect it's expansion outside of Missouri.)
