Default Frank King, Gasoline Alley (1929)

A thrift store find. A little costlier than the average
book. But this is the book version of Frank King's comic
strip Gasoline Alley, (Chicago: Reilly & Lee 1929),
pictorial front board, intact, some light browning of pages.
with all the cartoons taken from the Chicago Tribune. It
appears to be a first (only?) edition. And I cannot even
find another copy for sale by searching through AddAll.com .

Interesting. Mine has no dust jacket, but is in
considerably better condition than that. Thank you for
finding that.
