  • Condition: As you can see, this copy is in outstanding condition, the pages are almost time-capsule clean, the binding seems firm, the cover show very little wear, especially consider its 113 years of age. Alas, the spine looks to have been repaired (with masking tape) many, many decades ago. A good job, for certain, but it MUST be mentioned. Beautify early book on the recent insertion of cars into American culture...fascinating stuff.

    Description

    The pleasures and perils of automobiles -- a light verse satirical look at the car, its upkeep, its pleasures and perils, the dress and culture that were developing around it, etc.! With amusing, whimsical red and black illustrated plates on every other page. 8vo. 20 by 13 cm. Unpaginated, about 120 pp. Minor soiling on the cover. The pages required cutting, and as typical, not all the leaves were cut perfectly. Still, overall, an unusually clean, bright copy
