Hardcover. Presumed first edition/first printing. viii, 69 p. incl. front. plates. 20 cm. 25 Black and white illustrations. From Wikipedia: "Edward Streeter (August 1, 1891 in Buffalo, New York March 31, 1976 in New York City) was an American novelist and journalist, best known for the 1949 novel Father of the Bride and his Dere Mable series. Streeter began his career as a reporter for the Buffalo newspaper the Buffalo Express as a war correspondent and travel writer. He grew in notoriety with his "Dere Mable" letters, a humorous column from an illiterate soldier writing home. Serialized between 1917 and 1919 in the 27th (NY) Division's magazine "Gas Attack", they were inspired by Streeter's time spent on an army base (Camp Wadsworth, near Spartansburg SC) during World War I. The humorous letters were compiled in 1919 in Streeter's full-length books Dere Mable and Thats me all over, Mable. After returning home from the war, Streeter pursued writing casually, deciding to focus on his work as a businessman. For eight years he served as assistant vice president, before transitioning to the Fifth Avenue Bank in New York City, (later, The Bank of New York) where he served as vice president for twenty-five years. While serving as VP of the bank, Streeter published short stories and articles in magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post and McCall's. In 1938, he published his first novel, Daily Except Sundays. In 1944 he was elected to The Century Association, and remained a member for 32 years. He waited another five years, however, before publishing his next novel. Published in 1949, the comic satire Father of the Bride became an instant bestseller and was listed among The New York Times list of bestselling novels for the year. The following year, it was adapted into a successful film starring Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. After his breakthrough success, Streeter continued to write successful novels. Of the most notable of his subsequent works are Mr. Hobbs' Vacation (1954, filmed in 1962), Merry Christmas Mr. Baxter (1956), and Chairman of the Bored (1961). He finished his writing career with 1969's grim semi-autobiographical Ham Martin, Class of '17. In all of his novels, Streeter showed remarkable perception into human nature, and a wonderfully erudite dry wit. If there is a basic theme to his main characters, it is that they are usually men who feel put-upon, but eventually realize that they are taking themselves much too seriously (Father of the Bride, Merry Christmas Mr. Baxter, and Mr. Hobbs' Vacation are typical examples. ) Streeter died on March 31, 1976." From Wikipedia: "The 27th Infantry Division was a unit of the Army National Guard in World War I and World War II. The Division traces its history from the New York Division, formed originally in 1908. The 6th Division designation was changed to the 27th Division in July 1917. When the New York Division was organized in 1908, the New York National Guard became the second state, after Pennsylvania, to structure its National Guard at such a high tactical level in peacetime. The New York Division was called to active duty during the Mexican border crisis of 1916. While on Federal duty it was redesignated as the 6th Division in June 1916. It was released from active duty in December 1916, only to be recalled for World War I service in July 1917. The 6th Division was reorganized and redesignated as the 27th Division on 1 October 1917. The New York 27th Division was one of only three Divisions formed up entirely from a single state National Guard, the other two being Illinois and Pennsylvania. However, not all New Yorkers served in the 27th. Its initial Strength was 991 officers and 27, 114 enlisted men. Casualties: Total 8, 334 (KIA: 1, 442; WIA: 6, 892). Inactivated: April 1919. Called into federal service on July 15, 1917, the Twenty-Seventh Division hastily recruited to increase its numbers and late in August, was concentrated at Camp Wadsworth, near Spartanburg, SC, for intensive training. In the spring of 1918, t. Breck, G. William (ilustrador).…

Hardcover. Condición: Good. No Jacket As Issued. 1st Edition. "That's Me All Over, Mable" was written by Lieut. Edward Streeter and has 25 illustrations by Corp. G. William Breck. The book was published by Frederick A. Stokes Company, Publishers in 1919 and appears to be a First Edition but is not specifically stated as such. It's NOT an ex-library copy BUT it's also only in good condition, at best. The book has no dust jacket but IS a hard cover book. The text, itself, is not in too bad of condition, but the boards and spine are not in good shape at all. I taped the spine to bolster it a bit, and that's helped a lot, and there's a piece missing near the spine. It's 5" by 7 1/2", has about 75 pages, and is a pretty rare book in any condition. The book appears to be about some of the experiences service men have (or get themselves into) in the form of letters to Mabel. Thank you. Corp. G. William Breck (ilustrador).…
