New York. 1988. Collier Books. 1st Thus. Good In Slightly Worn Wrappers. 453 pages. paperback. 0020325509. Cover design by Darlene Barbaria. An essential work for students of the Paris expatriate writers of the 1920s and the private presses that published their work. They arrived from America and England over a half century ago as part of the constant stream of expatriate writers, painters, and dreamers. And whether a result of desperation or personal design, they found their permanent niches in literary history by being remarkable midwives to a generation of remarkable genius. Here is the full and fascinating story behind the efforts of this handful of dedicated men and women, among whom were Sylvia Beach Robert McAlmon, Bill Bird, Harry and Caresse Crosby, Nancy Cunard, Samuel Putnam, Edward Titus, and Jack Kahane. keywords: History Publishing Paris. inventory # 36899.
