About this Item

First and likely only edition, self-published as part of a regional fundraising initiative. This copy is signed and inscribed by the author on the presentation page and is accompanied by a laid-in handwritten note referencing a church visit and personal acquaintance, adding meaningful context to the inscription.

Issued through the 'Fun for Funds' program in Black Mountain, North Carolina, this work exemplifies late-20th-century grassroots publishing, wherein books were produced specifically for resale by churches, civic groups, and community organizations. The included original promotional broadside/order form - detailing pricing, resale structure, and distribution model - provides uncommon documentation of this sales approach, enhancing the book's historical and collectible interest.

The volume itself contains lighthearted, folksy humor in verse form, drawing on rural storytelling traditions and accessible comedic themes. While modest in production, the book's appeal lies in its cultural context and the personal nature of this particular copy, which captures both the author's direct engagement with readers and the community-based circulation of the work.

Condition: Near Fine. Clean and complete with light general toning and little to no handling wear; binding sound. Ephemera (folded promotional sheet and handwritten note) present and in like new condition with expected fold lines. Overall a well-preserved and engaging association copy with added regional and ephemera interest.
