Soft cover. Condición: Fair. No Jacket. Cover by Harrison Fisher / Dean Cornwell, James Mongomery Flagg, W.C. Hoople, others contribute Ilustrador. 1st Edition. Multiple pages dog-eared and OK, the previous owner should not have clipped the colorful title from the top of Eugene Manlove Rhodes' Western story "Shoot the Moon" (though all the text remains), nor fiddled with Scotch Tape around the bottom of the spine -- two ill-considered moves which reduce our grade here to "Fair." But what remains! An essay on Science and Religion by everybody's favorite European dictator, Benito Mussolini. (Yes, Really. No, Hitler didn't rise to power till '32.); Edison's Life Story, as told by Henry Ford; complete short stories by Sinclair Lewis (illustrated by James Montgomery Flagg), Rex Beach, Booth Tarkington, Rafael Sabatini (a swashbuckling pirate tale illustrated by Dean Cornwell), Anita Loos, Robert Payson Terhune, George Ade . . . it's a crash course in the popular literature of the 1920s! Color ad to inside of rear wrap reports 20,679 physicians recommend Lucky Strike (in the green pack) because that toasted tobacco is "less irritating"; back page ad for Coca-Cola features multiple Ford tri-motors dropping in at Kingman, "hot spot of the Arizona desert" for a refreshing bottle of Coke. Reduced from $17.50.
