This review is from: Subtreasury of American Humor (Hardcover)

This hardback book was copyrighted in 1941 and has over 800 pages. It is divided into 13 sections. Over 100 authors are featured in this book. Three selections from George Ade's "Fables in Slang", appear here. Booth Tarkington's humorous "Whitey", about two enterprising boys and an old horse is featured. H.L. Mencken's keen observations of life appear in "The Wedding". Mark Twain has numerous selections. Also appearing are works by Benjamin Franklin, Edgar Allan Poe and Oliver Wendell Holmes. So the topics and authors of this compilation are broad and interesting.

This review is from: Subtreasury of American Humor (Hardcover)

I purchase many books & DVD's from Amazon sellers. The majority of the time what arrives is in the condition that was advertised. Most sellers want to help. This seller offered to refund the purchase. The book backing was broken & the cover was not attached. We opted to keep the book & try to repair the damage. Buyers need to read all the details listed about the product they are interested in purchasing and ask seller questions before making a purchase. I was disappointed in this order.
