Coffee and Repartee

Complete digitally restored reprint (facsimile handmade reproduction) of the original edition of 1899 with excellent resolution and outstanding readability. Illustrated with 27 pictures. Coffee and Repartee written by John Kendrick Bangs is the story of what happens when men who think themselves smarter than they are face off against a man who’s smarter than he seems.
