LA Bantam - Little Known Facts About Well Known People

The 2nd book published by Bantam Publications is Little Known facts About Well Known People by Dale Carnegie. Originally published in 1934 (New York: Greenberg), the Bantam edition is abridged with 24 of the original 48 biographies. None of the illustrations in the original edition are reproduced.

In common with all but one of LA Bantam's books Little Known Facts About Well Known People is 100 pages long and is 110 mm (4 5/16") wide by 152 mm (6") tall. Cover and pages are made from high acid pulp paper. The page collation is:

[1] title page,
[2] Contents,
3-100 Little Known Facts About Well Known People.

The copyright date, 1934, is on the contents page. The back cover is an advertisement for Bantam Books.

The dark blue/vivid yellow cover shown below is the only one of which I'm aware.
