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. Spine a little soiled, some 
sunning to the board edges. Near Fine, lacking a dustwrapper.
