You’ll Enjoy This One
“Twenty-Three Books, and the Stories Behind Them” is the title of John T. Winterich’s latest volume, and conveys in its title but meagerly the feast in store for those who wish to get a new slant on a number of the world’s most famous books and the literary geniuses who wrote them. Not only has Mr. Winterich an almost unique research aptitude, but also the magnetic quality of being able to marshal his facts in a sprightly manner. Aside from this, the book has additionally, a fund of definite information for collectors, respecting the rarity and speculative possibilities of the many classics of literature that it deals with. It is a handsomely bound, fully indexed volume of 241 pages and is published by J. B. Lippincott & Co., at $2.50.
