Description:
This little scrapbook was put together during several rainy days, to be printed as a souvenir of the First National Book Fair in November 1936, a festival sponsored by the New York Times and the National Association of Book Pub- lishers. I (The Author) have purposely avoided the famous golden texts and purple passages of the bibliophile's evangel. You will not find Emily Dickinson's "There is no frigate like a book", nor Wordsworth's "Books are a substantial world," etc.; not even the well-loved but now too familiar rubrics from Lamb, Hazlitt, Leigh Hunt, Stevenson, Gissing and the others. Most of the fragments here are contemporary, and it was the editor's pleasure to choose not only "literary" bits but also odds and ends of trade and technical palaver.
