Who Tells Me True (With a Full-Page Original Caricature of "Michael Strange" by James Montgomery Flagg)

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1940. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good. A truly one-of-a-kind copy of the 1940 1st edition. WARMLY INSCRIBED BY MICHAEL STRANGE TO NEW HAVEN CARICATURIST WILLIS BIRCHMAN (whose bookplate adorns the front pastedown). FURTHERMORE (AND MOST SIGNIFICANTLY), THIS COPY INCLUDES A WONDERFUL, CAPTIONED FULL-PAGE CARICATURE OF BLANCHE OELRICHS ("MICHAEL STRANGE") BY JAMES MONTGOMERY FLAGG on the following blank recto. A very solid copy to boot: Clean and Near Fine (apart from the Birchman bookplate) in a crisp, price-intact, VG dustjacket, with light chipping at the the tips and along the spine crown. Thick octavo, a rich recount (filled with steam and sauciness) of the theatre, art and literary worlds Blanche Oelrichs/Michael Strange freely inhabited.
