This is a funny book. It was published in 1904 by Grosset & Dunlap, Publishers, New York. The book measures 4 ½ inches by 7 3/8 inches. The pages are unnumbered. The cover shows signs of wear, some spotting and soiling. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The back hinge is reinforced with hinge conservation tape. The signature of a previous owner is inscribed on the inside front cover. The pages show no signs of rips or foxing.
