This fact and the regrettable possibility that many less informed readers might accept Miss Stein's testimony about her contemporaries, make it seem wiser to straighten out those points with which we are familiar before the book has had time to assume the character of historic authenticity." 8.75x5.5" 15pp. Near fine, clean pages with minimal wear, glassine dustjacket.
