This book was worth purchasing. Ding Darling was probably the best newspaper cartoonist ever. He worked on The Des Moines Register and Tribune for many years.

It was was "Iowa's Newspaper" and served the 3,000, 000 Iowans for years. No longer. Other Iowa citiy's newspapers have taken away its "Iowa's Newspaper" title away from it.
