Description: Shown is an example of a title from a series of twenty-four small paperback reprint books called The Happy Hour Library that appeared in the mid-1920s, published and distributed by Friedmans’ Book Store (70 West 51st St., New York). This copy of Washington irving’s The Spectre Bridegroom is in fairly decent shape. The softcover is beginning to pull away from the spine and there is wear to the cover edges. Inside is tight and clear with no tears or marks. Pages are stiff to open. The Happy Hour Library titles are bound in a variegated heavy paper. The copy below is greenish-grey in color. The spine includes the title and author connected, in this case, by a series of dots. The front cover includes the title and author in a greenish cased rectangle. There is what I believe to be a graphic of a grandfather clock (representing time, eg., a happy hour reading, possibly) on the lower right corner of the cover. Printing has made the clock difficult to distinguish, but the clock icon is replicated on the title page of the book.
