About This Item
No dust jacket. Nor any idea what the fabric color started out as, it's all just grimy and gritty now, like a fine grade of sandpaper. That said, the fabric doesn't show much wear and seems intact all around. The pages are clean and, for the most part, tight. There are two loose pages, one being an illustration that has been the victim of an errant pencil.
This is a novel written based on a long-running comic strip by the same author, that ran in newspapers (remember those?) from 1923 to 1945. Along with a novel, that strip spun off a movie (in 1931, starring Jackie Cooper), toys, dolls, comic books and a radio series. Among all that, this is the only novel, and this one, as bad as it looks on the outside, is a first edition. It is also rather rare.

Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost. All of my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have about 2900 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily.
