About this Item

Red cloth covered boards with yellow ink stamped titles, and a yellow ink stamped vignette on the front cover. Publisher's red top stain; 9.25 inches tall; 211 pages; fully illustrated. The Mylar protected dust jacket has the price of $3.95, hand soiled with modest corner wear; older tape reinforcement on the inside of the top of the spine. Held's Angels presents a lively, humorous take on college life in the 1920s, pairing Frank B. Gilbreth Jr. s witty prose with John Held Jr. s iconic cartoons. The book affectionately mocks the 'Era of Wonderful Nonsense,' portraying students adorned in coonskin coats and flapper dresses, reveling in the carefree spirit of the time. The light-hearted tone evokes a true sense of the period, blending satire with a nostalgic warmth that brings the past vibrantly to life. [Adapted from Reviews].
