[Rarebooks] FS: Clarence Darrow's Thinly Disguised Autobiography with Fine INSCRIPTION

[Charles Agvent]

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
