New York: Coward-McCann, Inc.. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. (c.1931). First Edition. Hardcover. [a good sound attractive copy with only light shelfwear, slight uneven fading to cloth; the jacket is lightly soiled, with some wear and a number of tiny chips at spine ends, spine panel slightly faded and browned, a bit of wear to upper right corner of front panel]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the ffep: "To Fred Leonard / My old friend - / and one after my / own heart - - - / with appreciation / Jim Tully / 1931 / Hollywood, Calif." The final installment in what Tully considered his five-volume autobiographical cycle (following "Beggars of Life," "Circus Parade," "Shanty Irish" and "Shadows of Men"), this book essentially picked up where "Shanty Irish" had left off, following the passage of young Jim from a Cincinnati orphanage through his time on the road (and in the boxing ring), to the moment when he resolves to "write or starve." Tully himself stated of the book, in the jacket blurb: "With it, I bid farewell forever, I hope, to that life, the winds of which equally twisted and strengthened me for the sadder years ahead." The title was derived from a phrase used by his grandfather, "Old Hughie," to signify "trouble to sailors and the Irish." Signed by Author .
