Farming It

This hardcover edition of "Farming It" shows signs of wear typical of ex-library books, including library stamps and inscriptions. The spine and cover are intact but exhibit some edge fraying and wear. The pages are slightly yellowed with age, yet the binding remains firm. There is no dust jacket present. Illustrations by Reginald B. Birch are well-preserved, adding to the book's appeal.

"Farming It" by Henry A. Shute, published by Houghton Mifflin Company in 1909, is a delightful exploration of rural life infused with humor. This edition, printed in Boston and New York, features illustrations by Reginald B. Birch, adding a visual charm to Shute's engaging narrative. Known for his work "The Real Diary of a Real Boy," Shute brings a comedic touch to the trials and tribulations of farming. This copy, published in November 1909, is a reflection of early 20th-century humor and societal norms. While the book is ex-library, it retains its original charm and offers an authentic glimpse into the past. The absence of a dust jacket and the presence of library markings are balanced by the book's historical value and unique illustrations. This edition is a valuable find for collectors interested in early American humor and illustrated fiction.
