The "Goldfish" - Being The Confessions of A Successful Man

by Train, Arthur

  • Used
  • Hardcover
New York: Century Company, 1917. Book. Very Good+. Hardcover. Later printing.. Wonderful decorated binding with orange and gold "goldfish" swimming through a dollar sign on cover, stamped gold lettering on cover and spine, gold fish on spine. No bumping or fraying. Binding is tight and square, hinges are sound - no cracking. Long commentary by previous owner is written in pencil on front endpapers, which is in regard to the book, and socialism. I have not erased it, it is interesting. Otherwise this book's pages are clean and bright, with clean text block edges. 340 pages. A book about the pain a man can suffer for his "success.".
