About This Item
Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) was a Canadian teacher, political scientist, writer, and humorist. From 1915 to1925, he was the best-known English-speaking humorist in the world.
He is famous for his not-unkind criticisms of people's follies and foibles and is still called 'the funniest man who ever lived.'
Leacock wrote 22 works of non-fiction, 2 biographies and 29 novels; Model Memoirs is his 23rd. It was published in 1938 by Dodd Mead. As was the case with all of his books, additional printings had to be done regularly—this is a copy from the 4th printing, in 1940.
316 pages, 5 1/4" x 7 1/2"
It is red boards with an imprinted design on the cover and gold lettering on the spine. There is a little fading to the spine but no real shelf wear.
The covers are in perfect condition.
It was given to a father from a son in 1941; on the front endpaper, the son inscribed it, in pencil, the father signed it in ink.
Aside from that, there are no marks in the book. The spine is nice and tight. It is in perfect condition.
