First Edition, First Printing; 204 clean, unmarked pages. Bright orange sprinted wraps, black titles; Thirty five years before he wrote this book, J.O. Wintzell started his Oyster House with only $100.00 and rent at $8.00 month. He had to do most of the work himself, opening oysters and answering questions. Answering the questions eventually took up too much time, so he started writing the lore up on the walls. When a question was asked, he would point to a sign on the wall that gave the answer. Then customers started giving him signs to put up on the wall. These are all the signs he had accumulated over the years. Seller Inventory # 054825
