FOR AUTHORS ONLY

by Kenneth Roberts ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 9, 1935

Postponed from Spring -- report reprinted from March 1st bulletin. Some of the material has appeared in the Saturday Evening Post....""Here's the plum from the pudding, when a customer is seeking amusing, original and refreshing essays for entertainment. Ironical, funny, excellent reading and tart writing, with neither the complete humiliation of Thurber nor the stridency of Mark Twain -- and yet something of each. There seems almost nothing of the historical novelist one knows through the Arundel series -- other than his incurable passion for research, no matter what the subject....Longish essays -- intimate -- with many a chuckle. Ideal for reading aloud, for picking up at bedtime, for a week end gift. He speaks his mind on the mysteries that surround him, -- the Pulitzer Prize awards, diets, exercise, building in Italy, games played in the evening, Evangeline Adams' horoscope, the investment market, education in England, work on his house and garden, modes of yesteryear, golf, fishing in the North woods -- and on and on. Don't miss it yourself, and you'll be able to make firm friends of the customers to whom you sell it."" -- Very definitely a book for word of mouth recommendation and selective selling.
