Item description from seller

Illustrated throughout with B&W drawings [cartoons]. NON price-clipped dust jacket [$ 1.50] in new archival mylar, mostly clean [mild discoloration at back] colors bright, a little edge wear, sunned spine. Pictorial boards [same design as dust jacket], clean, colors bright, minor shelf wear at extremities. Pages [44] clean, unmarked, binding tight and square, small moisture mark at front page edges not extending into pages. PO's last name at endpaper. The perpetrators of Fractured French and Compound Fractured French have turned their attention to baseball. This book is more than fun, it is also educational. If the illustrations do not purvey the real meaning of the slang phrases or baseball terms, the author includes the correct "translations". All books are in my smoke free & climate controlled shop and will have qualities and/or flaws described. Domestic & international shipping includes tracking information.

Store description

My main business is the operation of a custom frame shop and art gallery (specializing in original art and antique prints). Since writing, illustrating, the design and manufacture of books are art forms, I have included books in my gallery. Most are vintage, antique, or just previously read, and include first editions as well as signed editions. Over half of my inventory is non-fiction. I enjoy my framing business but I LOVE my book business!

Specialty

mostly German, foreign language books, or previously read, antique, vintage, out of print, Rare & Collectible, first editions
