first edition
1933
by LARDNER, RING
1933. LARDNER, Ring. LOSE WITH A SMILE. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1933. First edition. 8vo, blue cloth-covered boards. Slight skewing of boards, and a few unobtrusive stains on edges of text does not much detract from this romance in letters between a rookie ballplayer and his hometown sweetheart, peopled with actual ballplayers and involving actual baseball events. Overall very good, in a slightly edgeworn, price-clipped jacket, sunned at the spine. (Bruccoli & Layman A25). (Inventory #: 31393)
