Girard Kansas: Haldeman-Julius Company, 1926. Soft cover. Very Good. 32mo - over 4 - 5" tall. One of the extremely widely sold "little blue books" from an enterprising Kansas publisher.

Still, beyond that, for its age a quite good copy of a book printed so cheaply that its survival was not widely expected.
