Item #24016 The Motormaniacs. Lloyd OSBOURNE.

The Motormaniacs. New York: The New York Book Co., 1913.

Early Reprint Edition. Early automobile fiction. From a contemporary review: "little stories of frank extravaganzas founded on the mania for motor-cars, which burns, apparently, even more fiercely in America than in England. The stories will be extraordinarily irritating to any one who is not familiar with the idioms of the "garage." but the motorist will feel a certain pleasure in seeing the language of sentiment translated into the language of petrol. The book is full of humor and energy, and, though it is not of course serious literature, the reader will always have a kindness for any work from the pen of that one of the authors of "The Wrong Box" who was not "old enough to be ashamed of himself." Near Fine in Very Good dustjacket, chipping at spine ends and few edges, closed tear and creases at front panel.

Price: $65.00
