About This Item
New York: E.P. Dutton & Co.. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dj. 1954. First Edition. Hardcover. [minor shelfwear to bottom edge, light dust-soiling to top page edges; jacket lightly rubbed, a bit of scuffing to spine, especially along rear hinge, one tiny tear and associated creasing at top of rear panel]. Novel about a successful New York literary agent whose treatment of her clientele, established writers and up-and-comers alike, would appear to qualify her for sainthood: "She lent them money, fought for their ideas, became their confidante. From all walks of life, of all ages and beliefs, they poured into her office for encouragement, faith and hope of eventual fame." The author had headed her own agency during the 1930s and 1940s, with a client list including, at various times, Erle Stanley Gardner and James Hilton. [This book is featured in ReadInk's Catalog #2, "Skirts, in Jackets," available upon request.] .
