Sobre este artículo
This book lives up to it's title. It is full of very short stories - many of them with some humor.
Here's a sample:
"A young man was one day talking with a lady about some of the ironies of married life. 'I can't imagine anything more dreadful,' said he, 'than for a woman after mending her husband's coat, to find in one of his pockets an old love letter from a former sweetheart.' 'Fortunately that would never happen,' said the lady. 'The woman would find the letter first, and she would not mend the coat.""
Fair condition. Green cloth cover originally had a swirl border design with the title and author's name in gold gilt, but most of the gilt has worn off. There is some soiling and much wear to the edges, corners, and spine. There are stains/spots on the closed book page edges. Inside the pages, some of the stain has seeped in a bit at the edge, but there is no writing in the book. I noted one large folded top corner on page 229. The binding is good, but the front and back end papers are cracked at the spine and the inside front has what looks like a bend, but the outside looks fine except at the bottom. There is also the previous owner's stamp on the front end paper.
Please use photos as part of the description.
245 pages.
