Early reissue (the first was published by Stokes in 1934). Quite scarce in either edition. The inside story of the big-city newspaper business told by Stanley Walker who was the city editor of the New York Herald Tribune. He joined the Herald in 1920, became its night editor in 1926 and city editor two years later (a position he would hold, with brief stints at The New Yorker and New York Woman, until 1937). A very good example, faint moisture evidence to the outer part of the covers with some bleed through to the endpapers. In the original dust jacket which is worn about the edges and also shows light moisture evidence.
