No dust jacket probably as issued. Laid in is a stapled booklet in cream-colored wrappers printed in brown entitled "Twelve radio tralks delivered by Will Rogers during the spring of 1930 through the courtesy of E.R. Squibb & Sons."

Harry C. Carr (1877?1936) was an American reporter, editor and columnist for the Los Angeles Times. In 1934 he was given an honorable mention by a Pulitzer Prize committee on awards. When a heart attack claimed his life at the age of fifty-eight, his funeral was attended by more than a thousand people. A very nice copy of this tribute by Harry Carr with the additional benefit of the twelve radio talks by Will Rogers laid in.
