pp: ix, 134. Illustrated by full-page and text cartoons. 12 mo. 185 mm. Publisher's cloth-backed boards binding with a cartoon in colors ("The Candidate" ) on both covers. Edges of boards rubbed. Don Herold (1889-1966) was an American humorist, writer, illustrator, and cartoonist who wrote and illustrated many books and was a contributor to various national magazines. He lived in Los Angeles in the 1920s and 1930s and New York City from 1940 to 1962. This is Herold's first book (of at least eight). It includes about 40 short, funny pieces on American life; with wonderful insights about the post-World War I era leading up to the crash and the Great Depression. Indeed, they are mini cautionary tales for our own time. HUMOR 2
