Cobb, Irvin S. Roughing It De Luxe. Doran, 1914, edition unknown, no dustjacket, 219 pages. Early volume by the prolific Kentucky-born humorist, who wrote for the Saturday Evening Post and newspapers. This volume is illustrated by Chicago Tribune cartoonist James T. McCutcheon. Good condition overall, small stain at one edge of the cover pastedown, fading to the gold lettering on the spine, and an old bookseller's sticker (Gardenside Bookshop, Boston) on the inside back cover which does not, however, obscure the inner cover illustration.
