About This Item
No dust jacket. A dryly humorous, while serious look into what people should do with all of their new-found leisure time. Considering that this book was published in the midst of the Great Depression, there's probably some subtle irony as well, as many people found themselves with far more loafing time than they might have desired. A quite rare book. Book shows some wear at the corners. Owner's name inside the front cover. Pages clean and tight. Black fabric covered boards with gilt print on front and spine.
