The legendary "Baron of Books" bought out a failing bookshop named Brentano's in Chicago during the Depression, merged it into Kroch's & Brentano's and created a midwest bookselling empire that ruled the new bookselling world for decades and modernized its practices. TNS, 1p, 8½" X 11", Chicago, IL, 10 September 1987. Addressed to a Chicago publisher. Very good. Staple holes at upper left. On "Kroch's & Brentano's letterhead, the bookselling baron asks this publisher Chicago's small Bonus Books for review copies of three of his better-selling sports books ("Parcells," "Ditka" and "On Sports"). Usual small but bold full signature in black ballpoint. Cohodes types a brief response at the foot of this letter. Kroch's thumb's up at his stores could make a title a bestseller, so a review copy request from him would be sure to fall on happy ears.
