Topper Takes a Trip by Thorne Smith- Amazon.com rating #80537. I haven't died, my son has been keeping me hopping. I get in bed with Topper and- no reflection on him but I fall asleep. My copy of this book is from 1932. It's rank is 5,193,261. But I included a link to a newer paperback version that should be easier to find.
I love the hardcover, it's pages are so old that it's the color of a New York cheesecake. The illustrations are charming. My copy is my Mom's but was originally owned by Frank Celko Jr. Because I am a freak, I googled him and he was a member of the 74th engineers. I looooove used books. I especially enjoy a used cookbook with notes and splatters so you can see where the good recipes are. I like the feeling of connection to other book lovers who clearly could not bare to throw a book in the garbage. Quelle horreur! I should have the complete review up in a few days, but I just wanted to let you know what was up. I also have two books by Betty MacDonald on order but they are taking forever to get here. And, I have the new book by John Waters which I already read but wanted to refresh on before I reviewed it. TTFN troops.
