(TAYLOR, Marion Sayle) - Stranger Than Fiction by "the Voice of Experience.

New York, Dodd, Mead and Company, 1934. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Blue cloth with gilt lettering, pictorial dust jacket. xiii, 198pp. Near fine/near fine. Exceptionally, unusually bright and tight first edition of this first book by the first radio advice columnist. "The most universally significant and dramatic true human stories ever encountered by the famous radio 'Voice' are here set forth," boasts the jacket front panel, "with the final outcome in each case revealed for the first time. Host and narrator Taylor (1889-1942) began the show in the late 1920s, and it took off so wildly with the Great Depression that he soon became better known as "The Voice of Experience" than by his real name -- which appears nowhere in this book! An uncannily fresh copy. .
