So Harold Smith sets about establishing himself as the publisher of the second weekly in a one horse town. Riding to success as it were on the back of his 2000-mile turtle, Methuselah, he gets his kicks from outwitting those who stand in his way. Blue boards with gold-color lettering on spine, 128 pp. illustrated with sketches by Barbara Embree and turtle drawings by William A. Seymour, unclipped illustrated jacket. Light wear, clean text, tight binding, slightly worn jacket with a short (2 cm) top edge tear on the front panel and a tiny chip at the top of the spine.
