(price-clipped?) [boards slightly bowed, top rear corner bumped; jacket clipped at both corners of front flap, spine slightly faded/rubbed, modest overall soiling]. INSCRIBED on the front endpaper ("To / James Donald, Esq. / with kindest / regards -- / 18th July, 1937") and SIGNED on the half-title page, presumably by the author. (The first initial of the signature is clearly a "T," but the remainder defies easy interpretation; possibly "Furillie." The real name of this author seems to be unrecorded; perhaps this signature is an important clue. See the second scanned image with this listing.) A humorous book written in Scots dialect. The front jacket blurb reads: "A record of some typical conversations and quaintly ludicrous incidents told with a pawky humour, a ready wit and the kindly common sense to be found in the conversation of the average Scotsman." The author's Foreword states: "This little volume has been written with the object of preserving a record of some typical conversations and quaintly ludicrous incidents, the recollection of which has been a constant tonic during the course of a moderately long life."
