1992ESB04009New York: Pantheon 1992. First edition. Paperback. A near fine copy. Proof copy. From the writer many consider to be the best reporter in the history of The New Yorker here is a book that brings together his best work. Saloon-keepers and street preachers gypsies and steel-walking Mohawks a bearded lady and a 93-year-old "seafoodetarian" who believes his specialized diet will keep him alive for another two decades. These are among the people that Joseph Mitchell immortalized in his reportage for The New Yorker and in four books—McSorley's Wonderful Saloon Old Mr. Flood The Bottom of the Harbor and Joe Gould's Secret—that are still renowned for their precise respectful observation their graveyard humor and their offhand perfection of style.

1937122606Atlanta 1937. unbound. 1 page 11 x 7.25 inches Atlanta June 29 1937. Rare letter signed "Margaret Mitchell Marsh" declining an invitation to a party because it conflicts with her wedding anniversary in full: "Dear Miss Hall: Sue Myrick forwarded to me your invitation and John and I appreciate it so very much. I know the party will be lots of fun and I only wish we could come but Sunday is our wedding anniversary and we have already made plans to spend it with friends. I admit that the temptation to break this engagement is strong because I liked Milledgeville so much when I was there at the Press meeting. And also I would love to attend your party as Prissy. That is the only role my size would warrant. The costume would be cheap too --just a croker sack and ten cents' worth of shoe polish. We do appreciate your invitation so much and I shall look forward to Sue's description of the party." Two horizontal folds and slight foxing; very good condition.<br/><br/> unknown books

1937252027Atlanta Georgia 1937. One page on personal letterhead. 4to. light creasing and toning esle fine. One page on personal letterhead. 4to. To Cukor on "old mimosa groves" - "bees demented in the blossoms" -- and Tallulah. Mitchell thanks Cukor for the gift of Mary Chess perfumes and especially the "mimosa":<br/><br/>"I had tried someone's brand of mimosa many years ago but it was heavy enough to be used as an anesthetic for a major operation. This brand is so sweet and faint and the lovliest part about it is that it reminds me of old mimosa groves far in the back country on a still hot day with the bees demented in the blossoms."<br/><br/>She then goes on to discuss Tallulah Bankhead's recent performance in Atlanta which she unfortunately missed:<br/><br/>'Of course I was eager to go but the show opened the night after the Pulitzer Award arrived. The Vice President of The Macmillan Company was in town and he gave me a party that night. I hoped to see her the following night but the house was so filled with friends and excitement that I could not go to the theatre. I was very disappointed for everyone was charmed with her. So few people here had liked her in her films and I am afraid many of them went to see her play determined not to like it. But everyone was most enthusiastic about her and the phone rang all day long as people told me how charming she was. "<br/><br/>Mitchell won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937 for her novel GONE WITH THE WIND; and George Cukor was David Selznick's first choice as director of the film. unknown books
600114"Margaret" in black fountain pen ink on personal letterhead Atlanta May 3 1939. 4to 3 separate pages. To Mable and Edwin Granberry: " We have been in one of our hurricanes. It all started when Selznick at last announced Miss Vivien Leigh and things are just now quieting down." She then goes on to ponder an invitation to Long Beach New York. On page two she comments on that years Pulitzer Prize-winner: "Of course you know about Marjorie Rawlings getting the Pulitzer award. There never was much doubt that she would get it if there was any justice anywhere.I do not know whether the award will keep her too busy to make this trip. The members of the Atlanta Womens Press Club have asked me to give a party for her should she come as they are all anxious to meet her." Mitchell closes with mention of the book which made her famous: "I was interested in your remarks about finding a GWTW mention in an article written by a Chinese. I did not see the article and if you have to or know who wrote it Id be interested. As far as I know the book has not been done into Chinese.I am just learning now that it was published in Japan a year and half ago and that it has sold 150000 copies there. I will not get a cent from this because Japan has a treaty with the United States which gives them the right to translate and publish American books without paying royalties to the authors." Mitchell met Edwin Granberry when he wrote an early laudatory review of GWTW; he later interviewed her for his March 13 1937 article "The Private Life Of Margaret Mitchell." They became friends and frequent correspondents see Darden Pyron's "Southern Daughter" for numerous comments. Not in "GWTW Letters."
