Second page with picture (same dimensions) of 'Appaches in Marseilles' (three louche-looking individuals playing cards at a candlelit table as a…crowd looks on). Page three gives Bilbo's background, beginning 'Jack Bilbo, the son of a well-to-do middle class German family, naturalised American, naturalised Spaniard, and now without a country or passport, once carried a gun for Al Capone. Though he tired of gangsterdom, this 20th century Robin Hood still cannot escape adventure.' The last page gives 'Some Press Opinions of Jack Bilbo's Last Book'.
