Hardcover. no dust jacket reading copy shelfworn but intact; dust-soiling to top edge spotting on a few pages a bit of fraying to cloth at corners and spine ends damage to upper corner of rear pastedown where some lout apparently removed a bookseller's label with a razor blade causing some weakening to the binding at that point. Somewhat hard-to-find novel about a young energetic and honest city manager a WWI veteran who attempts to unseat the entrenched political machine in a suburb of New York City dubbed for purposes of this narrative "Suburbia"--could this be the first use of that term. It "doesn't pretend to be literature" wrote a contemporary critic but "the style is lively with better dialogue than is to be found in the average novel." Hanna 2252 .
