Abstract

In the Driftway
April 3, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

In reading a recent much-discussed book of the sea the Drifter noticed that the publishers had plastered the jacket, front and back, with laudatory comments on the volume by William McFee, Heywood Broun, and Felix Riesenberg. The Drifter is assured that only two of the three men, Messrs, McFee and Riesenberg, wrote their testimonials at the request of the publishers and that none of them received payment for his tribute. That takes the curse off this particular incident, but it does not lay the specter for the future.
