Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW THE MAN IN THE STREET STORIES 1902 OVER 600 HUMOROUS STORIES. Here is another example where I resorted to looking up the Author on Wikipedia and although I found a reasonably fulsome reference there was no indication that he was a writer. Please find an excerpt from Wikipedia about the Author/Editor: Chauncey Mitchell Depew (April 23, 1834 April 5, 1928) was an American attorney, businessman, and Republican politician. He is best remembered for his two terms as United States Senator from New York and for his work for Cornelius Vanderbilt, as an attorney and as president of the New York Central Railroad. Please find then: The Man in the Street Stories from the New York Times with an Introduction by Chauncey M. Depew. This small hard cover book (5 ¼ x 7 ½ inches 310 pages plus 7 pages of publisher s adverts) was published by J.S. Ogilvie Publishing Company of New York dated 1902 and apparently the First Edition. According to the title page it contains over six hundred humorous after-dinner stories about prominent persons. The book is bound in gray boards with black & white decorations and titles on the cover and spine. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers show some wear to the decorations especially on the white of the spine. They are slightly bumped and a small spot of brown stain on the rear board. Inside the book is unmarked and the pages are clean and bright throughout with the exception of one page where a blank clipping left a shaded spot (nothing drastic). The last page of the index is torn from the bottom up about 2 ½ inches probably from a binding error. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
