Hardcover. First Edition. With the collaboration of Elsa Weihl. This best-selling biography of the German poet, Heinrich Heine, is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Browne to his good friend Sinclair Lewis: "For my favourite evangelist,/Sinclair Lewis,/with rabbinical benedictions from/Lewis Browne." Browne was an ordained Rabbi who left that calling after his second book, THIS BELIEVING WORLD, often cited as the most popular book about religion of the era, became a surprise best-seller in 1926. Browne and Lewis had a long friendship as well as a productive working relationship. In the early 1940s, the two men toured the lecture circuit together, debating a variety of topics in front of large audiences. Perhaps inspired by Lewis's IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, Browne wrote a similar anti-Fascist novel in 1943 called SEE WHAT I MEAN. Browne committed suicide in January of 1949. Light fading to spine, else clean, Very Good, lacking the dustwrapper.

Hardcover. Illustrations by Ben F. Stahl. 8vo. Full terra cotta calf with raised bands and gilt lettering, rules and decorations, publisher's thin card stock slipcase with gold foil label. 525pp. All edges gilt. Illustrations, brown moire silk endpapers, sewn-in brown satin page marker. Fine/near fine. Minor wear to slipcase (only). Pristine, tight limited (unspecified) edition of the 1926 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction winner. This special copy bears choice autograph addition: Lewis's inspiration for this tale of a dedicated young Midwest scientist and doctor was microbiologist Paul de Kruif (1890-1971), who Lewis thanks profusely in the book's dedication. So crucial was de Kruif to Lewis, not only with technical aspects but even characters and plot elements, that some consider him the uncredited co-author of the book -- he even received a small share of the royalties. Tipped to the blank leaf facing the title page is a unique frontispiece: a Typed Note Signed from de Kruif, 8½" X 5½", Holland, Michigan, 18 March 1940. Addressed to Arnold F. Gates (1914-93, noted Lincoln/Civil War scholar). Near fine. Two faint original folds. On imprinted letterhead of "Wake Robin" (the name of de Kruif's home) in reply to an admirer's birthday wishes, he sends thanks and notes: "Yes, the name of it is going to be IMMORTALS OF TOMORROW. Publication date, we hope, April 9, 1942." Signed boldly in full in his usual green ink. Intriguingly, "Immortals of Tomorrow" never came to pass. It was mentioned in a "New York Times" article in February 1941, which is no doubt where Gates learned of it and mentioned it in his letter. De Kruif intended it as a sequel to what was by far the most popular of his dozen books, "Microbe Hunters" (1926) -- de Kruif's connection to Lewis's 1925 bestseller likely helped boost its popularity. "Microbe Hunters" profiles a handful of scientists and is credited with drawing attention to the little-known fields of immunology and microbiology -- as did "Arrowsmith." Quite an unusual copy.
