About This Item
New York: Knopf, 1920. First edition. Original blue cloth, spine dulled as usual. Very good. One of a very small number of copies (Merle Johnson says "a few," Schrader suggests 25) issued with all edges untrimmed and signed by Mencken on the front endpaper. This collection contains Mencken's famous critique of the South, "The Sahara of Bozart." Among the most elusive of Mencken items. Schrader A 24.1.a (binding A).
