From the collection of Betty Anderson, legendary art director of publisher Knopf in the late 20th century as evidenced by her (small and unobtrusive) inventory number and signature on front paste down; Random House’s co-founder, Bennett Cerf, shares his reminiscences of a time when publishing was a creative, entrepreneurial experience, and the book business was in its infancy.

Cerf also discusses his work with fellow Random House co-founder, Bob Weil, and their contributions to the publishing industry.; B&W Photographs; Large 8vo; FSA .
