About This Item
Cleveland: The World Publishing Company, 1945. Hardcover. 8vo. Brown cloth, pictorial dust jacket. 192pp. Very good/good plus. Jacket a bit edgeworn, with somme paper loss across top of front panel extending to top of jacket spine; text block lightly age toned as usual. A tight and decent "poor man's first" -- not the true 1916 first edition of this baseball fiction, but the first "Tower Books Edition." Notes front jacket panel, "The hilarious book about a bush-leaguer, by one of America's foremost humorists."
