4to, unpag.; cloth. From the library of Carl van Vechten, with his bookplate, designed by Prentiss Taylor, on the front pastedown. Bookplate; small smudge to ffront flyleaf, fine and bright in a lightly edgeworn dust jacket, faded a shade on the spine, and with a one-inch chip to the front panel, by the bottom of the spine.

Fourth printing. Small tape stains on the covers and endpapers; very good in dust jacket. With The New Yorker's stamp on the front free endpaper, below which it is inscribed, 'To Ruth and Raoul - Who are lucky enough to have me love them both. As always, affectionately, Peter Arno. July 18, 1930, N.Y.C.' An exceptional association; Raoul Fleischmann (as in Fleischmann's Yeast) was the co-founder and financial backer of the magazine. In fact, the copyrights are in the name of the F-R Publishing Corp. ('F' for Fleischmann, 'R' for Harold Ross). Perhaps only Thurber, Ross and E.B. White were as central to this publication's celebrated early decades as was Arno. Ruth (Gardner) Fleischmann was not impecunious either, and their son became the publisher when his father passed away. All books described as first editions are first printings unless otherwise noted.
