Paperback. Small 4to. Stiff tan wrappers. 69pp. Illustrations. Very good. Wrappers slightly soiled. First edition of this collection of bookish essays first published in "Publisher's Weekly" between 1953 and 1956. Tipped to the half-title page is an early Augraph Letter Signed from noted Illinois historian Angle, 1p, 7" X 10½", Dayton, OH, 1944 March 14. Addressed to Abraham Lincoln Book Shop founder Ralph Newman. Fine. Good contents, reading in part: "Congratulations upon the Navy commission! You'll make a damn good sailor as long as you don't have to go to sea. I'm waiting until I finish this present Air Forces job. to work out the details of an acquisitions procedure with Mr. Stern [Alfred Whital Stern, famed Lincoln collector]. We are agreed upon the general method, but the details are still in the air." Most interesting.
