Hardcover / Hardback. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. First edition. Hardback. 1st US edn. Part I by Lloyd Lewis with Introduction and Part II by Henry Justin Smith. In this book the authors have sketched, incompletely but with a sincere effort to describe typical events, the story of Chicago's century as well as what led to it. Chicago, to some people meant brute force, ruthlessness and menace. Its "blood-and-thunder" reputation was world-wide, outstripping again and again the fame of its herculean business enterprises. The city has been studied, loved, hated, praised and denounced out of all proportion to its statistical position among the cities of the world. From the early beginnings c. 1690s with Father Pierre Pinet to the Gangland days of 1929. With Sources and Index. 508pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. With a personal b/plate to fpd, lightly foxed, browned edges and eps, sl. sunned sp. + several 'ring' mks. to lower cover. Red cloth with silver lettering. Vg. A fairly heavy book which will require additional postage if shipped overseas.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. This is the 1992 Reprint of "1001 Afternoons in Chicago:" by Ben Hecht, with wonderful pen and ink illustrations by Herman Rosse, published by the University of Chicago Press. The following is from the book's blurb : "In 1921 Ben Hecht wrote a column for the 'Chicago Daily News', which his editor called 'journalism extraordinary; journalism that invaded the realm of literature!' Hecht's collection of sixty-four of those pieces, illustrated with striking pen drawings by Herman Ross, is a timeless caricature or urban American life" ******************************************* Booknoodle talking here : . and specifically Chicago urban life, which included all that one might expect from the jazz age : nightclubs, jazz and blues music, conspicuously eccentric persons, crowded life, back alleys, automotive dreams and craziness, big city entertainment personalities . and looming over it all the towering skyscrapers that were championed as heralding the new American life. ******************************************* And, again from the blurb : said "the New York Times" : "Mr. Hecht is attempting to do for Chicago what Dickens did for London; he stands appalled before the spectacle of the streets, with their tumultuous, mysterious throngs." Further, L. S. Klepp, of "Voice Literary Supplement", is also quoted on the rear cover: " The hard-boiled audacity and wit that became Hecht's signature as Hollywood's most celebrated screen-writer are conspicuous in these vignettes. Most of them are comic and sardonic, some strike muted tragic or somber atmospheric notes . The best are timeless character sketches that have taken on an added interest as shards of social history." ******************************************* TITLE : 1001 Afternoons in Chicago / AUTHOR : Ben Hecht (1894 - 1964) / PREFACE : Henry Justin Smith ( 1875 - 1936) [ Managing Editor of the Chicago Daily Mail ] / ILLUSTRATIONS : Herman Rosse (1887 - 1965) / IMPRINT : University of Chicago Press / PLACE : Chicago / DATE : (1992) / EDITION : First Printing of this University of Chicago reprint / STATUS : Out of Print / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Large Trade Paperback; Illustrated throughout with line vignettes and full page drawings; has the original Preface by Henry Justin Smith; just under 289 pages (small disparity between the page count of this reprint and the original edition); 6 5/8" x 9 3/8" ; pictorial wraps, glued. ******************************************** CONDITION .
