Descripción

132 pages. Presentation copy inscribed from Walt Mason [1862-1939. American, though born in Canada, poet, author, journalist, and publisher best known for his association with William Allen White and the publication of the Emporia Gazette. His "Poetic Philosophy" was published in numerous papers across the U.S.] to his friend A. B. MacDonald [1871-1942. American journalist for the Kansas City Star, who won a Pulitzer Prize for Reporting in 1931] and dated June 29/'31. Also laid in are two typed letters signed by Walt Mason. The first is on yellow paper with Walt Mason letterhead, La Jolla, California, dated June 29/31 along with matching envelope. In it, he writes "I am sending you a little book made up of roasts of H. L. Mencken, compiled by himself, and I thought it might interest you, since you have met and interviewed the man." The second letter is on the letterhead of The Emporia Gazette and dated May 4, 1912. This letter is address simply to "Fred" and discusses settling into Emporia originally with less than $2.00 and going to work for the Emporia Gazette for $10.00 a week. Now in 1912 he is making "$600.00 a month, about $450.00 of that by writing poetry." Volume is a little faded and shows signs of age. Both letters show a few light smudges, but are generally very good. Envelope shows smudges and light wear. N° de ref. del artículo 040217

With more than 25 years of experience buying and selling out-of-print, collectible, and rare books, maps, and ephemera, I am now doing business from my home at 60 Poplar Heights Rd.; Chanute, KS 66720; U.S.A. by appointment only. I offer a selection of more than 5000 books of all genre, as well as more than 1000 maps ranging from 15th century to early 20th. All inventory is hand selected and believed to be of significance for the collector, the reader, the historian or the general book lover. Historically, I have specialized in Kansas and regional history, but also maintain quality collections of Natural History, Theology, Americana, Railroad, Travel and Exploration, Medicine, Art, and Psychology, Neurology, and Psychiatry. Fine bindings, plate books, signed and inscribed items are also an important part of my collections. Smaller, though intriguing collections of other genre are also a part of my holdings. Appraisal, consultation, and collection development services are available. Please come and browse, talk books, and have a cup of coffee in a relaxed and book friendly environment. But for the convenience of both of us, please email or call first. Trade terms available and dealers are welcome.
