Large softcover in excellent condition -- cover and interior clean, binding tight. Illustrated with B/W drawings by Irv Yaniger. From the Preface: " . . . this capsulized nostalgia uniquely preserves the Baltimore that existed before the age of electronic communication and high speed travel began to shake American cities down to a common denominator. Here was a city so isolated, unvisited and ingrown that its folklore was both provincial and precious. Even in today's more cosmopolitan Baltimore, with its daily busloads of tourists, this appealing provinciality is not completely gone. Gil Sandler preserved not only what we were, but to some extent what we should strive to keep. Henceforth, these priceless time-warp snippets are available from the bookshelf, more or less forever. That's how it should be." -- Gwinn Owens, The Baltimore Evening Sun. A difficult-to-find title -- especially Signed. *** Click on Icon (if available) to see Image. ***. Inscribed By Author.
