CAUGHT SHORT! by Eddie Cantor
Simon & Schuster, 1929 A.C. (After Crash)
Condition: Very Good in Fair/Good DJ

This "Saga of Wailing Wall Street" is a light-hearted memoir of comedian Cantor's experiences as one of many victims of the 1929 stock market crash. It's "written with his heart's blood--or his accountant's red ink--history does not record which". Published just weeks after the event, this small 45-page book was likely the first one dealing with it to appear. The book is in nice shape, with wear on the cover corners and just a bit of fraying on the spine ends. The jacket has a number of tears and large chips, but is entirely readable.
