SMITH, Stevie. SOME ARE MORE HUMAN THAN OTHERS. (London): Gaberbocchus 
Press, (1958). First Edition. Humorous sketch book illustrated by the 
author. Laid in is an index-card size piece of paper on which is a busy 
drawing for a book titled Atlantic Anthology and bears the initials "S S 
45." While some similarities exist, it is not quite in Smith's style. 
However, this copy came from the estate of Douglas Newton, editor of the 
book NEW VOICES - ATLANTIC ANTHOLOGY published in 1945 by the Fortune 
Press. Mr. Newton also had in his possession an uncorrected proof of 
another title by Smith containing an original drawing. Be that as it 
may, we are offering this book at a price as if the drawing were not 
present, and may it be a pleasant surprise for someone. About Fine in a 
slightly darkened, Near Fine dustwrapper. (#012606) $100.00
