Here are some of his best stories, written with style, brimming with detail. In his introduction, Joe Gribbins likens Ottinger's writing to that of Damon Runyon, Ring Lardner, and H. L. Mencken It's a breezy, all-American style that delivers the goods and puts a smile on your face. People don't seem to know how to write like that anymore.

This book, 115 pages is in fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket that is now in a protective mylar wrap. Signed by Author(s).…
