The Ardent Eighties And After: Reminiscences Of A Busy Life.

The International Press, New York: 1947. Hardcover with no dustjacket. Reading Copy. Ink markings in the text. These reminiscences mainly recall a decade -t he 1980s - which was distinctly unlike its preceding decades and very different from the previous soft and luxurious age.... A sense of proportion rather than modesty has helped me to keep my own experiences within reasonable limits, so that the reader may not regard this volume as an autobiography.- from the Preface. Illustrated. Includes an index.
