About This Item

255 pages with illustrations by Leo Hershfield. Octavo (8" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's black cloth with silver lettering to spine. First edition. Another totem pole for the low man-on-a, in this collection of Smith-iana, which researches the reclame of all those of his name who flourish, or have. From the garden of Smiths, he goes into the variety of given names, (to compensate for their omnipresent surname), the whole range of Smith-conaclousness in the fields of history, education, politics, society, industry, writing, show and entertainment business, sports, religion, the military, and roves happily through telephone books, international translations of Smith-sonia, and has a happy prowl through the largest family group of nomenclature. With Smiths bustin' out all over, and Smith upon Smith, thin Smith Vigilant should find a wide audience -- since they excel in numbers, don't mins your market... for there are lots of amusing anecdotes, marginalia, and Smithfields conquered here. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, "1.50" on front pictorial end paper, spine ends rubbed else about very good lacking jacket.
