About This Item
Curtis Publishing Co,, 1919.. Hardcover first edition -. Very good overall in very dark green cloth with white lettering (lettering on spine rubbed and barely visible, spotting to edges of textblock, but tight and sturdy). First printing. A salesman's sample book with an unusual approach highlighting the inexpensive cost of the magazine: "This volume designed to show how one issue of the Saturday Evening P[ost would look if published in book form." Note on the title page that it was produced exclusivly for the use of authorized agents for The Saturday Evening Post and an advertising blurb on the first page that it is "simply a reprint of one copy. If published in this form it would cost 1.50 from a bookseller. As one of 52 issues included in the year's subscription for the periodical it costs the reader from FOUR TO FIVE CENTS." Includes stories by May Edginton, Hugh Kennedy, Octavus Roy Cohen and others, an article on the League of Nations ("Spineless Leagues and Faceless Nations") and more. Illustrated with drawings throughout, including a full color frontispiece of the Norman Rockwell cover. 382 pp.
