DARROW, Clarence. FARMINGTON. New York: Boni & Liveright, 1925 (1928).
Third Edition. A novel that is really a thinly disguised autobiography
of the great labor lawyer. INSCRIBED on the front free endpaper "To my
good friend Geo/Bye- who managed to get/money for stuff that he
would/have been glad to pay any/journalists or magazine editors/for
printing them/With regard and affection of" and SIGNED "Clarence
Darrow/June 6th 1929." Bye was a public relations and literary agent who
worked for Darrow placing his articles as well as for other notable
figures such as Eleanor Roosevelt. Darrow's sharp humor is readily
apparent in his inscription. A gorgeous copy, beautifully preserved,
with the original dustwrapper which has a long, jagged but closed tear
on the front panel that, under mylar, is not terribly offensive. Fine in
a lovely dustwrapper. (#019248) $2,000.00
