Chicago: Socialist Party of the United States of America, [1936]. First Edition. Folio tabloid format (41cm.); publisher's photo-illustrated staplebound wrappers; 15pp.; illus. throughout, including photographs, charts, and cartoons. Extremities rather worn and brittle due to poor paperstock, horizontal mail fold with small loss mid-fold affecting text without loss of sense, some ragged splitting at spine ends, smallish withdrawn rubberstamp of the Mooney Papers, Bancroft Library, to upper cover; an About Very Good copy of a fragile and uncommon piece. Official 1936 campaign handbook of the Socialist Party issued at the height of the Great Depression and illustrated with attractive graphics promising that "Under socialism, healthy nourishing foods...will be available in sufficient quantities for all, and all useful producers will have a sufficiency of money, with which they will be able to buy them." Eight physical copies in OCLC as of November, 2018; not mentioned in Egbert.
