Indianapolis: Bobbs Merrill, 1930. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good+ DJ. Very minimal shelf wear, toning at 70/71pp where newspaper article has been laid in, else tight, bright and unmarred. DJ shows very light shelf wear (focused at head and heel), one small, closed tear, very minimal toning at rear, price clipped, else bright and clean. Blue cloth boards, red ink lettering. 8vo. 275pp. Illus. (b/w plates).

Follows the travels of a Scottish hobo on his travels around the US, exploring his evolving philosophy as he rides the rails, hitchhikes and passes through various flophouses...a remarkably compelling tale. A clipping of the 1987, LA Times article on "Yuppie Hobos" laid in. A handsome copy of this rather scarce volume.
