Hardcover. Herb Roth Ilustrador. This is a 1940s reprint of a book first published in 1869. The title page reads, "Bundling : Its origin, Progress and Decline in America", by Henry Reed Stiles. (The spine's title label reads : "On Bundling'). The book is decorated with humorous wood cuts by Herb Roth, a leading illustrator. On another edition of Mr. Stile's book is the following: "Bundling was an important part of American courting life, enjoyed by all good country maids and men and blessed by all honest folk. During the nineteenth century, many elders clothed bundling in a licentious mantle, and a dark veil was drawn over the subject. Henry Reed Stiles, no believer in the theory that objectionable portions of history should be kept in the shadows, here defrocks these misconceptions and sheds light on this lost American custom and its origins." Bundling --- ahhh bundling --- 'twas a polite custom that created much wonderment and humor. Mayhaps it would be good to revive its use. Peruse this quaint volume and see if, perchance, thou wouldest deign to have it revived. The text includes a history and a collection of humorous verse, which are both for and against bundling. And I must add - Mr. Stiles does not restrict himself to early American courting , but touches on the premarital activities of a number of foreign cultures around the world.

This is an author-signed 1931 First Edition, 2nd Printing of "Tall Stories: The Rise and Triumph of the Great American Whopper" by Lowell Thomas. The book is illustrated by the very funny cartoons of the great Herb Roth which capture very aptly the silliness of the whoppers. Published by the Funk & Wagnalls Company in 1931. It's a very good copy, which includes the seldom-seen dust-jacket (The jacket is very rough in condition, being in two pieces, but we have put it into a clear mylar cover to fend off further wear.) Here is the dust-jacket's blurb : "WHOPPERS! You tell them. We all tell them. And we all laugh our heads off when we hear them. Every one knows a few tall stories. Whoppers! Grand, fantastic, improbable, impossible lies. The kind that makes the boys in the backroom holler their heads off. But there are mighty few who know how many of these ludicrous 'whoppers' there really are, and how shameless and howlingly funny they can be. There's a whole literature of them, a magnificent, uproarious collection representing the most characteristic and funniest types of indigenous American humor. And by far the most infamous of the entire lot are in this volume : 'The Hall of Fame of The Great American Whopper'. You'll enjoy reading the bare-faced, super-whoppers of the Tall Story Club - and you'll enjoy telling these 'biggest and best' whoppers - "Tall Stories" is a riot of fun!"
