ONE HUNDRED PER CENT AMERICAN.
[Hammett, Dashiell, et al.]: Reynolds, Quentin:
Stamford: The Pig Pen Press, 1939. Small octavo. Printed wrappers. A few smudges to wrappers, else near fine. Cloth slipcase. First edition in this format. Illustrations by Valenti Angelo. One of two hundred copies printed in Caslon Old Face on Brenton paper "without permission" for friends of Quentin Reynolds. This essay on ethnic intolerance in the U.S. (in the style of Coughlin) departs from the primary narrative of a visit to Grossinger's Country Club to watch Max Baer train to include mentions of, or encounters with, a number of other interesting parties, several of whom have signed this copy: Dashiell Hammett, Eddie Cantor, Joe Louis, Arthur Kober, Louis Sobol, Max Baer, Jennie and Harry Grossinger, et al. An unusual and attractive assembly of signatures. CAHOON, p.22.
