[MENCKEN, H.L.] HIRSHBERG, Leonard Keene. WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT 
YOUR BABY. New York: Butterick Publishing, 1910. First Edition. Aside 
from his nearly impossible to obtain scarce first book VENTURES INTO 
VERSE, this is Mencken's scarcest book. Though not published under his 
own name, Mencken wrote most if not all of the text. If you want to know 
Mencken's viewpoints on subjects such as the difference between mother's 
and cow's milk, there is no better, perhaps no other, place to turn. 
Mild spotting to the dark green covers. Foxing and a few very light 
stains to the first few pages. Very Good, lacking the impossibly scarce 
dustwrapper. (#012969)        $3,500.00
