About This Item
New York: Farrar Straus & Giroux, 1971. First Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. This is a stated first edition, and in lovely condition. The interior of the book is clean and crisp, with no marks, or signs of use or wear. The brown covers show just a few signs of wear at edges and corners. The dust jacket is price-clipped, but it otherwise in excellent condition, The attached scan gives a better idea of the jacket's appearance. Synopsis: The dust jacket describes this as "a brisk slapstick comedy." "You see, there are two brothers -- the red-headed rascal, who is a real go-getter, and the lazy good-for-nothing, who is reluctant to go anywhere or do anything. The red-headed rascal has a scheme for catching a one-eyed man, bringing him home, and putting him on display in the marketplace "A penny a look! We'll make millions!" he says." But of course, that isn't quite how things work out.
