Dust jacket is now covered in a removable, clear archival protector.

Pictorial boards. Frontis, illustrations and binding illustration by Steinberg. A bit of tanning around endsheet gutters, otherwise a very good or better copy, in good, somewhat faded dust jacket with old beverage ringmark on upper panel. First edition. An excellent association copy, inscribed by Liebling on the front free endsheet to fellow NEW YORKER staff writer Berton Roueché: "For Bert Roueché Allansl[indecipherable] J. Liebling well- known traveler May 19, 1952." The indecipherable word may be a play on his first name, Abbott, but it is not his first name. The recipient, Chicago native Berton Roueché (1910-1994), joined THE NEW YORKER in 1944, after a decade of work for midwestern papers. He specialized in medical topics, particularly epidemiology, and published over twenty books, some on allied topics, others suspense fiction.

First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First edition. Drawings by Steinberg. A few pages roughly opened, including one that removes some text, thus very good in near fine, very slightly spine-sunned dustwrapper. Three long essays on Chicago that first appeared in the *New Yorker*, Inscribed by Liebling to his editor there: "To Bill Shawn - Joe Liebling." A relatively innocuous inscription masking an important relationship, Shawn had worked at the *New Yorker* since 1933, and became only the second editor-in-chief at the beginning of 1952 after the death of founder Harold Ross.
