Item description from seller

Baltimore: The Lord Baltimore Press, 1926. 25 pp. 7¼ x 5 inches. Hardcover. A fine copy with the publisher’s original (worn) glassine wrapper. First edition, limited to 250 copies, this hand-numbered as copy 227. Reprinted from The American Printer for October 1926, this humorous essay is by Nathan Billstein who may be the same Baltimore Jew listed in the American Jewish Year Book (1904–1905) and also wrote under the pseudonym Jennes Bryansen. Published by The Lord Baltimore Press (formerly The Friedenwald Company), which was likely a Jewish-owned concern given the prominence of the Friedenwald family in Baltimore’s German Jewish community. Features a gloriously vibrant and colorful binding in metallic colors—most appealing in this condition.
