Author Description

Excerpt from The American Legion Weekly, Vol. 7: November 6, 1925 Two or three hundred I must have read five times for my own sake as well as for judgment. Every one of these ought to have had a prize. The trouble is that there are not enough prizes to go around. A hundred I must have read ten times. Finally, the sifting brought the number down to twenty-nve, and then to ten. Often I was tempted to turn up the corner. Of the page and learn the writer's name and something about him. But that was against the rules. The decision must be made on the manuscript itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
