Otto Soglow: W. C. Fields for President

Fields for President is a 1940 book by W. C. Fields with drawings by cartoonist Otto Soglow. The first edition with its original dust jacket is apparently hard to come by. A quick search reveals that later editions of this book are inexpensive and even ubiquitous. A paperback edition was published as recently as 2016. But this first edition is the one I'd want to have. Note how Soglow has rendered Fields's party affiliation by showing him atop a hybrid of the Democratic donkey and the Republican elephant.
