Scope and Contents

This book was sent to master printer Walter Hamady to review for "The American Book Collector" by Daniel Traister, book review editor. Hamady's response to Traister, his refusal to critique the book, and his reaction to the text is described in the correspondence. Furthermore, Hamady mutilated several pages by violently stabbing them with a ball point pen, reversed the dust jacket, wrote scathing opinions in the margins of the text, and returned the volume to Traister. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
