Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. George Ade (1866 - 1944) was an extremely popular American humorist and newspaperman, whose genial satire was, in some ways, of the same nature as Mark Twain's. He satirized American culture and society, specifically the mid west and Chicago, which city was the base for his syndicated newspaper articles. Ade's most famous work was "Fables in Slang" which popularized the use of vernacular speech in all of its singularities and crudities for use in literature. "Breaking Onto Society" is well representative of his work. The book is profusely illustrated with comic drawings by John McCutcheon, F. Holme (Frank Holme) and others. This is a 1904 edition, published by Harper and Brothers; it is likely the First Edition, Second Printing [with red binding, and no date on the title page, just on the copyright page]. It's a very nice specimen with but modest signs of wear from handling (Read our full condition report, provided below). TITLE : Breaking into Society AUTHOR : George Ade (1866 - 1944) ILLUSTRATIONS : Various ( John McCutcheon, Harry Smith, Frank Holme, et al) IMPRINT : Harper and Brothers PLACE : New York & London DATE : (1904) EDITION : Likely First Edition, Second Printing STATUS : This edition OP PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : Illustrated trade hardcover; contains numerous line drawings, including frontispiece and decorated title page; 208 pages; 4 3/4" x 7 3/16"; dark red cloth binding with lettering and decorative embellishment stamped in black on spine and front board - rear board blank. Fore- and bottom - edges rough cut. CONDITION - VERY GOOD - This is a previously owned book which remains clean and presentable, with the following imperfections and particulars noted : EXTERIOR - Color on spine has faded; spine extremities are compressed; modest rub to joints;; front board faded along top edge, else color is strong; surface rub to front is mild; rear cover has a small, just visible damp stain at the foot of the cover next to the joint; cover's color is strong, and surface rub is mild; small, scattered nicking to board edges; corner tips are softly bumped; text block edges toned, else clean. BINDING - The book has obviously been read and thus is not as tight as when issued, opening easily and widely - however no leaves are detached or loose, and the whole remains solid, with no cracking. INTERIOR : Paper throughout is lightly toned; the most obvious thing is that the first reader separated the leaves somewhat carelessly, leaving the fore-edges somewhat ragged (this is a common thing found in old books which were issued with their leaves still joined at the edges). Else, the interior is clean and free of marking. There is one penciled owner's name at the top of the front free end-paper. (Bramley). All in all a nicely preserved copy. John McCutcheon, Harry Smith, John Holme & etc (illustrator).…
