Give Us a Little Smile, Baby

[good solid copy, minor shelfwear, light staining to endpapers, contemporary gift inscription on front pastedown, light spotting (foxing) on a few pages; jacket only moderately worn, spine a little faded, but has been laminated by a previous owner]. (B&W photographs, cartoon drawings) "Written in 'ball park English,' here is a photo-biography of an ace news photographer. Mr. Coleman gives us his amazing mass of memories of the whole turbulent newspaper scene through the last forty-five years -- and packs his book with sensational photographs of the biggest newspaper scoops of all time, as well as with hilarious drawings by famous cartoonists, drawn especially for this book." (Among the contributing cartoonists are George Herriman and Rube Goldberg, each represented by one full-page drawing.) The author was based in San Francisco, having arrived there the year before the 1906 earthquake and fire. [NOTE that the dust jacket on this book has been laminated. Don't blame me, though.]
