Published a reprint of a 1904 O. Henry novel this morning. CABBAGES AND KINGS was the first use of the term 'banana republic.' O. Henry based the book on his adventures in Honduras - while he was on the lam from embezzlement charges in Texas. O. Henry was born in North Carolina and this edition is dedicated to John Hood and the Carolina Calots, a chapter of the Burroughs Bibliophiles. The dedication page contains an illustration by Motoichiro Takebe for a Japanese edition of THE WARLORD OF MARS.
