New York & London: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1923. First edition. Hardcover. Item #25413
7.75" x 4.75". 137pp. Pictorial wood grained boards with black lettering and illustration. in dust wrapper. A really attractive and unusual binding. Neat ownership signature, else near fine condition. The jacket has a very small bit of edge wear and a very lightly soiled spine. This book features illustrations by Ralph Barton, one of the relatively unsung heros of 20th century American illustration and humor. A funny book, if offensive by today's standards. Irwin has been described as "an 'equal-opportunity bigot' who took swipes at African-Americans, Jews, gays, Greeks, the English, short people and, most frequently, Asians and Asian-Americans."
