He tears up the letter with a weary smile but the nerve of the girl intrigues him and almost against his will he calls upon her at her one room apartment in a west side hotel. She proves to be a decent and respectable young woman apparently well born with great beauty and charm but she is so clear so definite so cold-blooded in her plan that it appeals to his sporting instinct to treat the matter like a bet on a race course.

Suffice it to say that the girl makes good in the two years by methods open to anyone without either any great stroke of luck or any improbable action. And the quid pro quo - well - !

1956004251Barcelona: Gremio de Libreros de Barcelona 1956. First edition. NA. Fine. A most unusual promotion for an antiquarian book fair! 43.5 by 31.5 cm. 30 cells with cartoon drawings recounting the life of an 100 year old book -- the actual physical object -- from its first sale to its appearance at an antiquarian book fair! The story is in the tradition of "Black Beauty" "The Memoirs of an Umbrella" or "The Yellow Rolls Royce" all concerning the ups and downs incident to different owners and in the case of the latter two there is the commonality of the personification of an inanimate thing. Here the book starts in Barcelona and in its circuitous path that takes it all the way to Paris and the Eiffel Tower and a Seine "bouquinist" comes to rest finally again in Barcelona in a stall at the Feria Annual del Libro de Occasion Antiguo y Moderno still an annual event held by the local booksellers' guild and thus one of the oldest running antiquarian book fairs today. We note that this is a story arc that resembles that of "Black Beauty". The format of the broadside is called "auca" which is an uniquely Catalan graphic format. The captions by Eroles are all three line rhymed couplets in Spanish. In 1972 Eroles wrote and published in Catalan a book on bookselling in Barcelona called "Memoires d'un llibre vell". The broadside can not be found in OCLC. <br/><br/> Gremio de Libreros de Barcelona unknown books
