Sobre este item
Chicago: Covici-Friede, 1929. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo, 281 pages, tawny cloth a bit soiled
"By any standards, Smith is one of the more important figures in the history of Chicago journalism and literature. ... POOR DEVIL ... is the story of Bruce Warren who brings his bride from a small town to Chicago. He is, in the words of a reviewer, one of thousands of 'poor devils for whom life will never hold anything but a calendar of petty problems with here and there a red-letter disaster.' The best part of the novel tells of Warren's work for 'Faith Publishing Company' and one Gowdy, its chief. Gowdy plagiarizes, and his company publishes, those flimsy tracts of faith, good hope and presumed knowledge which attracts the gullible and unthinking." - CHICAGO IN STORY, p.181.

Sobre Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
