Except for an inked name/date/city on the back of the FFEP and about a dozen pages that have browning from newspaper articles that were inserted long ago (the browning does not ever obscure the text), the interior is perfectly clean and completely free of writing, stray marks, stains and any sort of paper damage. Not remaindered, ex-library or Book Club edition. The dust jacket is clean and free of tears, scratches and scrapes, with slight wear and color loss on the front fold and the heel of the spine; spine is also noticeably faded. But worse--there was masking tape, since removed, on the back side, along all edges, along both folds and on the entire width of the spine; that tape has not affected the binding at all but has darkened the jacket, especially on the flaps and on the rear panel (see photo).

A tight, attractive first edition of this examination of The Windy City, its people and places, as seen through the eyes of this popular late 19th/early 20th century fictional Irish immigrant bartender with thick accent who appeared in Dunne's syndicated column and was later collected into several books. Finley Peter Dunne was a noted Chicago journalist and humorist (1867-1936). From the library of Adlai E. Stevenson III (1930-2021), U.S. Senator from Illinois, with front flyleaf bearing a handsome author presentation inscription in black fineline: "To Adlai E. Stevenson III, / May the wind be always at your back, / May the road rise up to meet you / (but not because you've run / afoul of the Dept. of Streets / & Sanitation). / Barbara C. Schaaf." Senator Stevenson's great-grandfather, Grover Cleveland's vice president Adlai E. Stevenson I -- who appears in Dooley's well-known essay "The Vice-President" -- appears briefly in these pages.
