About This Item
cat40a. Philadelphia: Winston, 1908. First edition. Red cloth, spine and front cover designed and lettered in gilt. All edges gilt. Title page printed in black & red. A bright and attractive very good copy. Connected incidents in the life of Ingleson, some are humorous and marginally fantastic. A nice, clean copy. Missed by Smith, AMERICAN FICTION, though it is surely fictional.
