Blue paper boards. DJ nearly complete, but chipped and torn along head. This was my first meeting with Ray Stannard Baker, writing as David Grayson. Baker was a successful news writer who wanted to get away from deadlines and other pressures. His "Adventures" series sold very well, he was involved in starting American Magazine, and he received the Nobel Prize for his biography of President Woodrow Wilson. After skimming the first 50 pp., I had trouble getting my teeth into it due to certain dated expressions and "airy-fairy" situations with which I couldn't identify. Just a litle too airy-fairy for me. 273 pp. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Store description
We specialize in old hardcovers, and also have an extensive selection of local/Maritimes history. On December 31, 2023, we were forced to close our 23-year-old bricks and mortar bookstore due to a change in the building's ownership. We now operate online from our home (order pickup by appointment only).
