Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. First edition with dustcover. Dark blue cloth-covered boards, gilt spine and front board lettering, 7 1/2 x 5 3/8 inches, 328 pp., frontispiece photo-illustration of author. Book very good plus. Dustcover fair (substantial chipping; stain, front panel; still presentable, and now under mylar). A scarce book, rare with dustcover in any condition. "Home Town Sketches, probably the only book of its kind, contains intimate sketches of interesting people and quaint characters who live or lived in the little Missouri town of Boonville during the period of 1870 to 1900. The author knows his home town thoroughly and has drawn for his contemporaries and for posterity pen pictures that will endure, showing characters and conditions now rapidly becoming obsolescent. Dr. Paillou uses the actual names of his former fellow citizens, thus enhancing the local interest without decreasing that of the general reader. This book is of especial interest to that large number of people who have the small town background." (3214016).
