About This Item

Nice condition vintage copy of "The Bull Calf and Other Tales" by A.B. Frost. Uncommon with its original dust jacket. 1924; Charles Scribner's Sons; New York. The book is a collection of ten short stories told in cartoon-style format. The dust jacket is un-clipped with the original price intact on the front flap. Please see the photos for the complete list of contents.

From the dust jacket: "A.B. Frost, a painter of distinction, as well as the dean of American humorous artists, both in the field of the broadly comic and as an illustrator of humorous subjects demanding more subtle powers, holds a place unique among American artists. This delightful volume, now revised and reissued after being out of print for sixteen years, contains some of his most hilarious work."

Condition:
Clean covers and spine; sharp corners. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. Nice interior - the pages are clean and white and nearly appear unread with only a small, light smudge on pages 64 and 65; there is a name written in pen on the front end paper. Overall the book is in Very Good+ condition. The dust jacket has clean covers and flaps; the original $1.50 price is intact on the front flap; there are small pieces missing along the bottom edge; the right edge of the spine has nearly separated from the front cover and is holding only by a small piece at the top - the tear has been repaired with clear tape on the back-side...overall the dust jacket is in Good- condition. (The dust jacket comes with a clear protective sleeve...not shown.)
