[moderate wear to book's extremities, some dust-soiling to top of text block; the jacket is a little faded and lightly browned along the spine, with a tiny piece missing at the upper corner of the rear panel, a touch of edgewear here and there]. Tully's breakthrough book, and the one that typecast him forever as the "hobo author," although he rejected the label, always making the distinction among hoboes, tramps, drifters, and "road kids," and insisting that his youthful wanderings put him in the latter category. An American classic, it remains his most famous book -- not least because an excellent movie was made from it by director William Wellman at Paramount in 1928, starring Richard Arlen, Wallace Beery and Louise Brooks. This "Star Books" reprint edition dates from the mid-1930s; the series is blurbed on the rear jacket panel, and the verso of the jacket features a complete list of books in the series.
