ROGERS,  Will. THE ILLITERATE DIGEST. New York: Albert  &  Charles
Boni  1924.  First  Edition. Blue cloth with a white cloth  spine  and
somewhat  larger  than the trade edition. Illustrated  with  drawings.
Copy  #40  of 250 copies SIGNED by the author on the  front  endpaper.
Rogers  was  born  in  Indian Territory in 1879 and  had  some  Native
American  blood  in his veins. He began in vaudeville and moved on  to
motion  pictures, a career that was cut short when he died in a  small
plane  crash  in 1935 near Point Barrow, Alaska. Perhaps he  was  best
known,  however, for his syndicated newspaper column which had  such a
massive  following that the proposition that he run for President  was
once  seriously  advanced. His saying, "All I know is what I  read  in
the  newspapers,"  became  a  popular catchword of  the  times.  Books
signed  or  inscribed by this most popular of American  humorists  are
rather uncommon. Near Fine, lacking a dustwrapper.            $1500.00
