Seller Rating:
Doubleday, Page & Co., 1919. Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. A very good copy in the publisher's two-tone green spine and boards. The binding shows minimal wear. Everything is square and tight, with sharp, unbumped edges and corners. There is a neat owner's signature to the front pastedown, along with a small, circular picture of the author. Otherwise the contents are immaculate, with no inscriptions or other markings of any kind. Christopher Morley (May 5, 1890 March 28, 1957) was an American journalist, novelist, essayist and poet. He also produced stage productions for a few years and gave college lectures. Morley's first novel, Parnassus on Wheels, appeared in 1917. The protagonist, traveling bookselloer Roger Mifflin, appeared again in his second novel, The Haunted Bookshop in 1919. Morley was one of the founders and a longtime contributing editor of the Saturday Review of Literature. A highly gregarious man, he was the mainstay of what he dubbed the "Three Hours for Lunch Club". Out of enthusiasm for the Sherlock Holmes stories, he helped to found the Baker Street Irregulars and wrote the introduction to the standard omnibus edition of The Complete Sherlock Holmes. He also wrote an introduction to the standard omnibus edition of The Complete Works of Shakespeare in 1936, although Morley called it an "Introduction to Yourself as a Reader of Shakespeare". That year, he was appointed to revise and enlarge Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. He was one of the first judges for the Book of the Month Club, serving in that position until the early 1950s. In all, Morley was the author of more than 100 novels, books of essays, and volumes of poetry.

Hamburg : Atlantik Verlag, 2016. Condition: Gut. Erste Auflage dieser Ausgabe. 190 (2) Seiten. 21 cm. Guter Zustand. Mit zusätzlicher Einbandfolierung versehen. Ausgemustertes Bibliotheksexemplar. Die Vorgeschichte zum Leserliebling "Das Haus der vergessenen Bücher": Bevor Büchernarr Roger Mifflin sich dem stationären Buchhandel in Brooklyn zuwendet, ist er als fahrender Buchhändler mit seinem Planwagen in New England unterwegs. Dort trifft er auf die resolute Helen McGill, die gemeinsam mit ihrem Bruder eine Farm bewirtschaftet. Kurz entschlossen kauft sie Mifflin, der das Vagabundendasein gründlich satt hat, den Bücherwagen samt Pferd und Hund ab und entdeckt die wunderbare Welt der Literatur und die Liebe. - Christopher Darlington Morley (* 5. Mai 1890 in Haverford, Pennsylvania; 28. März 1957) war amerikanischer Herausgeber, Schriftsteller und Sherlockianer. Leben Morley wurde als Sohn des Mathematik-Professors Frank Morley geboren. Er studierte in Haverford und erwarb 1910 ein Rhodes Scholarship am New College in Oxford. Dort geriet er in Kontakt mit dem Theologen Ronald Knox und hörte dessen satirische Rede Studies in the Literature of Sherlock Holmes. Nach Amerika zurückgekehrt, arbeitete Morley als Kolumnist und Herausgeber etlicher Zeitschriften. Außerdem publizierte er zahlreiche populäre Erzählungen und Romane wie Parnassus on Wheels (1917), The Haunted Bookshop (1919), Thunder on the Left (1925) oder Kitty Foyle (1939) (unter dem Titel Fräulein Kitty 1940 von Sam Wood mit Ginger Rogers in der Titelrolle verfilmt). Zunächst schrieb er in Philadelphia für das Ladies Home Journal und den Evening Public Ledger. 1920 kehrte er nach New York zurück und arbeitete zeitweilig für das Literary Review supplement der Evening Post. 1926 wurde er Mitbegründer der Saturday Review of Literature, die er von 1924 bis 1940 leitete. Darüber hinaus organisierte er in New York den 'Three-Hours for Lunch Club', ein unregelmäßig veranstaltetes Gesellschaftsereignis, aus dem die Sherlock-Holmes-Gesellschaft der Baker Street Irregulars hervorgehen sollte. Teil des Club-Lebens war die gebildete Unterhaltung über Sherlock-Holmes-Geschichten. Morley legte dazu Regeln des Sherlockian Reading fest und verfasste selbst zahlreiche Beiträge in diesem Sinne. Am bekanntesten sind seine Studie In Memorium: Sherlock Holmes (1930) sowie das Vorwort zur Doubleday-Ausgabe The Complete Sherlock Holmes. 1936 wurde er in die American Academy of Arts and Letters gewählt. .
