By Clarence Darrow. The most famous lawyer in 20th-century America looks back on his life and career, and you really can't beat these chapter subheds ("As I look back at my school-days, I am astounded at the appalling waste of time" -- who among us, Clarence).
This sturdy 1932 hardcover is in pretty good shape, pages toned but holding firm. A handful of the pages towards the back look...victimized, but I think this may have been a book whose pages the reader had to cut, Lily Bart-style, and the chopped-up ones didn't cooperate. As for what befell the ones in the 270s...I hope it's coffee? We don't need our crime that true, really.
In any event, they're readable, it's just a bit frumpy and lived in in a couple places. A nice pick-up as a gift to a lawyer, with a quaint top note of attic -- and an untold story or two of its own from previous stops.
