Hard Cover
1882 · New York
by W. J. Johnston
New York: W. J. Johnston, Publisher, 1882. Second Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Compilation of stories and anedotes by William John Johnston, himself a telegraph operator and publisher. Humorous telegraph stories must have enjoyed popularity, as this issue is five years after the 1877 First Edition. In the publisher's blue cloth binding, with decorations and titling stamped in black and gold. The boards are rubbed, as if cleaned. Previous owner name stamped on both pastedowns; there is a gift inscription on the endpaper. With humorous satiric illustrations throughout. Very Good binding.
