American Natives
with an introduction by Steve Allen
London: Hamish Hamilton, 1960. Full-page caricature illustrations by Sokol. Unpaginated, text and then 60 b/w plates, printed on recto only. In original unclipped dust jacket. 300 x 235 mm (11¾ x 9¼ inches). The dust jacket is aged / toned, and has some edge wear / chipping - mainly to the top. Internally lightly toned to whole pages, commensurate with the age of the book. In his introduction's conclusion, Steve Allen says: I promise him (the reader) that once he meets Sokol's characters he will not easily forget them. He will go back to them again and again, in much the same way he goes back to pictures in a family album. And probably for the same reasons.
