About This Item
Stated first edition. No dust jacket. Tan fabric covered boards show little wear, although the spine is cocked a little and the lower right corner of the front cover is bent slightly (see photo #3). Deckle-edged pages are clean, tight and intact. Owner's name inside the front cover. An autobiography of Mencken's childhood. Some of the chapters were previously published in the 'New Yorker Magazine'. A fairly rare book.
