(1928).  Third  Edition. INSCRIBED on the front free endpaper  "To  my
good  friend  Geo/Bye-  who  managed to get/money for  stuff  that  he
would/have  been  glad to pay any/journalists or magazine  editors/for
printing  them/With  regard  and affection of"  and  SIGNED  "Clarence
Darrow/June  6th 1929." Bye was a public relations and literary  agent
who worked for Darrow placing his articles as well as for other notable
figures  such  as Eleanor Roosevelt. Darrow's sharp humor  is  readily
apparent  in his inscription. A gorgeous copy, beautifully  preserved,
with  the  original  dustwrapper which has a long, jagged  but  closed
tear  on the front panel that, under mylar, is not terribly offensive.
Fine in lovely dustwrapper.                                   $4500.00
