Bright green cloth with beveled boards and gold lettering/printing on cover 72 pp. Decorated end-papers, frontispiece with tissue guard. Minor bumping to top/bottom of spine and small cloth chip to spine bottom otherwise very clean and bright, probably never read. Why this… little book was published: "Having travelled through all the States and Territories of the Union; crossed the continent by the four different routes, and tried the pleasures of the coast steamers on both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, I have formed many pleasant acquaintances with "Knights of the Grip" in different parts of the country. And having something of a reputation as a natural reader and impersonator, I have often been called upon in Pullman cars, hotel parlors and other places, to furnish something in the way of entertainment for the "boys." In many cases I have been asked for copies of selections which I have given and sometimes have written copies in answer to such requests." Clean, tight, and complete. None (illustrator).
