Special edition of McClure's autobiography, ghost written by Willa Cather. Near fine but for quite sunned spine with a few tiny spots. This copy is inscribed to Mr & Mrs DeWitt Wallace, the founder and publisher of Readers Digest. McClure explains his sending his book to Wallace "...because, today, my nephew Robert McClure told me the wonderful story of your founding the best magazine of our times." This edition was printed by the new owner Lewis Myer to send to McClure's sales reps hoping to inspire them to get more subscriptions for the magazine. (Crane pg43) Nice association copy. ; 8vo 8"...
