A pleasing proof copy of this posthumously published collection of Dorothy Parker’s witty “light-hearted essays about reading and writing,” which appeared in The New Yorker signed ‘Constant Reader’ between 1927 and 1933, and which “played as much [a] part in creating the Parker legend, and were as much part of the times, as her stories and poems.” (’Publisher’s Note’); with Marshal A. Best’s business card taped in.
A long-standing and celebrated senior editorial consultant for Viking Press, Marshall A. Best (1901-1982) was Parker’s editor at Viking.
