HOLLIDAY, Robert Cortes

Broome Street Straws

First edition. Slight sunning, near fine in very good, white dustwrapper with some light foxing, a couple of small chips at the extremities and a couple of faint stains on the front panel. Interesting short pieces, (about art, writing, books and libraries, authors, including Tarkington and O.Henry, etc.) each informed with the attitude developed by the author as a painter living in a garret in Broome Street in New York. When the author's sight weakened he devoted himself to literary efforts as editor of the Bookman, and for several publishers. He was the close friend, editor and literary executor of Joyce Kilmer.
