Description
Kessler, Gene ‘Joe Louis, The Brown Bomber’ 1936 Big Little Book 3 3/4″ x 4 3/4″. 236 pages. (2) $20 each. Both have wear to covers. One is completely clean inside but has the greater wear to the spine of the two. The other has writing in pencil on the inside front cover. Pretty equal in terms of condition. Both spines are intact which more often than not, isn’t the case for this specific book.

Book Description
Joe Louis: The Brown Bomber (Big Little Book #1105) was written by sports journalist Gene Kessler and published in 1936 by the Whitman Publishing Company.
Measuring roughly 3.75″ x 4.5″ with a thick 1.5″ spine, this compact hardcover is one of the earliest published biographies of Joe Louis. It spans 238 pages and uses Whitman’s classic Big Little Book format, which features a page of text alternating with a full-page illustration. Instead of drawings, this particular edition is highly prized for its abundance of real black-and-white historical photographs sourced from Wide World Photos. The narrative captures the spectacular early rise of Louis, tracing his journey from his youth through his explosive ascent in the heavyweight division up to 1936.
