Fully illustrated with black and white cartoons by the author. Pages are clean (no writing, underlining, or highlighting) but yellowed with age.

Shelfwear (bumping/denting to head/heel of spine and rubbing to extremities). This is not a remainder or ex-library. No previous owner markings. With Mr. O'Malley's help, Barnaby's Victory Garden doesn't exactly flourish.

The latter portion of the book chronicles Mr. O'Malley's run for congress, offering sly satire on electoral politics. Nice reading copy of this collectible book. . First Thus, Collectible.
