Item description from seller

- Quarto, softcover, unbound. Two sheets of cream-colored paper are folded once to form [8] pages, each approximately 11 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide. Illustrated in black & white with 2 textual illustrations & 2 facsimiles.

He bought the books, concluding that the notes were important "as evidence of one reader's response to Farrell over a 32-year period.The previous owner.faithfully recorded, with a few exceptions, the month and year each time that she reread one of the nine novels, something she did from at least 1945 through 1977".The penultimate page prints "Notes on Farrell's Readers" by Harry Smith, editor and publisher of The Generalist Papers: "The Number 1 James T. Farrell fan in my book is Graham Mark Schneider, Esq.Graham is a tough guy in his speech--plain, sharp, straight as Farrell, but louder.Discovering the Studs Lonigan trilogy and "Gas House McGinty", Graham went to look at Prairie Avenue and The El. He kept coming back to retrace, literally--almost step by step--the terrain of the novels.".…
