Collector's Guide
Great Contemporaries comprises twenty-one penetrating profiles of political and literary luminaries. An utter delight to read, beautifully written and brutally opinionated (Hitler comes off just a bit better than George Bernard Shaw), the ensuing “Revised” edition (and most future reprints) added four new profiles: Lord Fisher, Charles Stewart Parnell, Lord Baden-Powell and President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Description
This is a very good copy of the Third Impression of the First American edition, in the correct dust jacket, which is unclipped and wonderfully bright and fresh, with no losses, just a handful of inconsequential rubs and a hint of of edge wear along the spine.
The book is virtually mint, inside and out.
