About this Item
Description:
(no dust jacket, but encased in a nice-looking facsimile reproduction of the original first edition jacket; see 2nd scanned image posted with this listing) [about as nice a copy as you could hope for, tight and clean with no shelfwear to speak of, one-time owner's discreet embossed stamp on front endpaper]. Runyon's sixth published book, like the five preceding it a collection of his short fiction. There are fourteen in this volume: "All Horse Players Die Broke"; "Lonely Heart"; "A Piece of Pie"; "Tight Shoes"; "Situation Wanted"; "Cemetery Bait"; "Baseball Hattie"; "Big Shoulders"; "Too Much Pep"; "A Job for The Macarone"; "The Big Umbrella"; "Neat Strip"; "Nothing Happens in Brooklyn"; and "A Call on the President." (The last-named was adapted for the 1939 MGM film JOE AND ETHEL TURP CALL ON THE PRESIDENT, starring Ann Sothern, Walter Brennan, Lewis Stone, and William Gargan.) From the library of one-time MGM producer-writer Carey Wilson, with his embossed ownership stamp on the front endpaper. NOTE again that the dust jacket on this book is a FACSIMILE, and that its presence has not been factored into our pricing. Seller Inventory # 29267
