About This Item
Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, NY, 1977; First Edition; 4to, 251 pages. A behind the scenes look at the other side of life at the Algonquin Round Table, its notorious glib personalities blinded by their own press releases and tormented by a crippling self consciousness. Robert Benchley, to his credit, was later in life to express remorse that he had so often made such a public clown of himself. Profusely illustrated with period photos. Fine, in a Very Good Plus dust jacket. A revealing book.
