Sobre este artículo
Chicago: Thompson & Thomas, 1900. First Edition. . Hardcover. Good Plus to Very Good. Bill Nye, one of the preminent American humorists of the 19th century, was a lawyer and journalist, who became nationally known after he founded the "Laramie Boomerang" in Laramie, Wyoming, in 1881. Today, Nye would rank with humorists such as Art Buchwald, Dave Barry and Garrison Keillor to name a few. "Remarks" is 504 pages of short, one or two-page essays or newspaper columns on all manner of subjects seen from Nye's sardonic perspective, interspersed with over 150 illustrations by J.H. Smith. First Edition, Later Printing. 6 1/2 x 8 3/4 inchese. Blue cloth boards with black and gold lettering and black and gold pictorial design on front cover. Boards show some minor rubbing and shelf wear but hinges are intact, corners unbumped. Front interior hinge cracked and beginning to loosen, rear interior hinge cracked, still tight. Text block binding intact and tight. Text block edges somewhat soiled, pages age-tanned but clean and uncreased. Overall, a very decent copy and excellent example of Nye's brand of wit and humor.
