Early and rare works, mostly unreleased but the basis of the hits to come. Mae West's genius shines as you can easily visualize each scene.

Read as a Kindle book, but strangely it is not comparable with Kindle White paper, just the Kindle Fire and other tablets like that. This might be because it contains scans of some of the pages, specifically one or two that contain a hand written note or edit.

A great, fun, funny, and informative read.
