The Wonderful Edison Time Machine - first US edition

by Malcolm Willits - signed

Adult adventure for the child that remains in every grown up. A time machine enables young men to travel back to the golden age of the 1920's, where they try to use their knowledge of history, attempting to both stop the depression and to make a bundle. "Buying long and short " is one of the timely discussions between the kids that shows how seemingly-difficult adult subjects can be simply reduced to an easy-to-understand concept. A correlation between the ethical lapses of the past and those of the present are embroidered throughout the rollicking story as events progress. Humorous references to and involvement with historical persons and events--both real and fictional--add to the readers' appreciation for this uncommon format selected by the author. 

Book is 4to. 224pp; beautifully illustrated by Toby Bluth with full-page, color plates (some fold out) and produced in a luxurious format with quality materials. Signed by both the author and the illustrator. The book, its materials, and its artwork a true pleasure.
