Edges of some pages chipped or have small tears. George Milburn (1906-1966) earned his literary reputation writing about his home, eastern Oklahoma. Milburn's thoughts and writings turned to Oklahoma again and again. In his 1946 essay "Oklahoma," published in The Yale Review, he seems fondly reminiscent of his Sooner State. In the essay he insightfully describes the contradictions of Oklahoma and its people, applying a razor-sharp wit to subjects such as politics, race, prohibition, and scandals. At age seventeen he took a job as a contributor to the Tulsa Tribune. Eventually making his way to Chicago, during this time he wrote Little Blue Books, usually slim volumes condensing, or as he explained it, "mutilating," classics for Haldeman-Julius. Titles he penned for the company included Lives of the U.S. Presidents. Emanuel Haldeman-Julius ((July 30, 1889 - July 31, 1951) was a Jewish-American socialist writer, thinker, social reformer and publisher. He is best remembered as the head of Haldeman-Julius Publications, the creator of a series of pamphlets known as "Little Blue Books. After working for various newspapers, Julius rose to particular prominence as an editor (1915-1922) of the Appeal to Reason, a socialist newspaper with a large national circulation. He and his first wife, Marcet Haldeman (whose last name he adopted in hyphenate), purchased the Appeal's printing operation in Girard, Kansas and began printing 3.5" x 5" pocket books, stapled in paper cover. These were first were called The Appeal's Pocket Series and sold in 1919 for 25 cents. The covers were either red or yellow. Over the next several years Haldeman-Julius changed the name successively to The People's Pocket Series, Appeal Pocket Series, Ten Cent Pocket Series, Five Cent Pocket Series, Pocket Series and finally in 1923, Little Blue Books. The five cent price of the books remained in place for many years. The novelist Louis L'Amour (1908-1988) described the Haldeman-Julius publications in his autobiography and their potential influence: Riding a freight train out of El Paso, I had my first contact with the Little Blue Books. Another hobo was reading one, and when he finished he gave it to me. The Little Blue Books were a godsend to wandering men and no doubt to many others. . they were slightly larger than a playing card and had sky-blue paper covers with heavy black print titles. I believe there were something more than three thousand titles in all and they were sold on newsstands for 5 or 10 cents each. Often in the years following, I carried ten or fifteen of them in my pockets, reading when I could. Among the books available were the plays of Shakespeare, collections of short stories by De Maupassant, Poe, Jack London, Gogol, Gorky, Kipling, Gautier, Henry James, and Balzac. There were collections of essays by Voltaire, Emerson, and Charles Lamb, among others. There were books on the history of music and architecture, painting, the principles of electricity; and, generally speaking, the books offered a wide range of literature and ideas. [.] In subsequent years I read several hundred of the Little Blue Books, including books by Tom Paine, Charles Darwin, and Thomas Huxley. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.
