Description

First Edition, Very Scarce

A very scarce work in the publisher's original pictorial paper wraps, designed by Jack Gilmour.

A collection of amusing and pithy short stories, originally published in the New Zealand newspaper The Sun, based around the sport of boxing.

The author Fritz Holland was an American middleweight boxer, active from 1910 to 1922. He sparred with the notable Australian boxer Les Darcy four times, winning twice and losing twice against him.

This work is now very scarce to see.

Spine is creased. Faint creasing to the corners to the front of the wrap. Staples are rusting a little. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are age toned but clean.
