Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

(no dust jacket) [good sound copy, lightly shelfworn, spine lettering a bit dulled, faint beverage ring on rear cover, large vintage bookplate on front endpaper (apparently pasted on top of the same individual's ownership signature; see Notes)]. (B&W photograph, facsimiles, cartoon) A collection of short pieces, by a number of its contributors and editorial staffers, lamenting the recent demise of The New York World, which began publication in 1860 and was purchased by Joseph Pulitzer in 1883. Under Pulitzer's ownership (until his death in 1911) the newspaper pursued an aggressive editorial policy, combining sensation, sports, sex and scandal into a stew that spawned the term "yellow journalism," and that essentially changed the face of American newspaper publishing, and made The World the largest-circulation daily in New York City. When it was put up for sale by Pulitzer's heirs in 1931, the owner of the Scripps-Howard chain (publisher of the Evening Telegram) seized the opportunity and bought The World for the sole purpose of shutting it down to eliminate the competition. The shutdown was accomplished so abruptly that, in the words of city editor Barrett, the staff "really never had a chance to cover its death adequately"; thus this volume was conceived, and was in print a mere three months after The World published its last edition on February 27, 1931. Among the more than two dozen contributors represented here are Frank Sullivan, F.P.A. (Franklin P. Adams), Walter Lippmann, Harry Hansen, Heywood Broun, and Dudley Nichols. NOTE that the bookplate is that of screenwriter William Rankin, who had a string of mostly undistinguished story credits in the 1930s and 1940s, and that it appears to have been pasted down on top of Rankin's signature].…

Shopbeschreibung

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
