Bookish: Latest find

Bought this fabulous find from 1936 for Brian while I was in Nanaimo. Notable for not only its good condition, but for the plethora of classic authors within its pages – W.B. Yeats, John Reed, Virginia Woolf, H.L. Mencken are some of the few. A good reminder that there was a time when the greats were publishing piece by piece in the magazines of their day – and also that a great many of them were leftist enough to be submitting to the New Republic. Edna St. Vincent Millay’s pieces in the anthology include a sonnet for Sacco and Vanzetti. Only $8 at the antiquarian book store – it’s a definite score on the collectible front (for us anyway).
