LAUGH Your Head OFF
By O. Henry Damon Runyon Ring Lardner others
Publisher: Quick Readers. New York: Royce Publishers, Inc

O. Henry's The Exact Science of Matrimony. Damon Runyon's Romance in the Roaring Forties. Ring Lardner' Horseshoes. The Adulteration of Old King David. Edward Streeter's Two Letters from a Rookie to his Girl. Ellis Parker Butler's Philo Gubb, the Correspondence School Detective.

Nice, used, VERY GOOD+++ or MUCH BETTER, Some of the small usual softeness & wear to corners, edges from being read, handled and stored.

Highly Collectable 1940s illustrated paperback series from Royce Publishers. These "Quick Reader" are designed to look like a hardcover book with a simulated spine and pages ends on the bottom. A scarce & VERY difficult little 49 Booklet series to collect especially in this condition.

Nifty little 3-1/8" x 4-5/8" paperbacks from World War II Era. Great covers with quirky interior illustrations. Actually the closest thing I've ever seen to being a "pocket book" since these books are small and slim & would easily fit into even your shirt pocket. Must have been popular with GI's. Subject matter leans toward the lurid, even "Classics" are given a "pulpy" patina. Slightly edited reprints with illustrations, designed for carrying in a pocket & reading on trains, waiting for a bus, doing laundry, etc.

Kindly refer to image scanned, it is faithful and representative.
