Item description from seller

] Not a first edition? Title page has the Doran logo (through September 1921 this had indicated a first edition). Hardback, 12mo, appx 5 1/4 x 7 3/4 inches, paper-covered boards with black titles and a colorful pastedown (by Grosvenor?) + tan cloth backstrip with black titles, 384 pages, G to G+/no dj. Boards have moderate amount of edgewear (especially to corners), but not a lot of surface wear. Tiny split to cloth at head of spine. The binding is sound (though small crack to rear hinge) and the interior mostly very clean (small tape ghost to FFEP away from previous owner's signature). A 1-inch piece missing from one fore-edge margin, but type not affected + next page has a very small fore-edge tear. Overton, the author, has dedicated the book to George H. Doran, "Who Had the Idea," with the book's 23 essays dealing solely with Doran books and authors. There is an extensive index, and the book features nine tipped-in photographic portraits (all in nice condition) of authors Hugh Walpole, Stewart Edward White, Rebecca West, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Arnold Bennett, Irvin S. Cobb, Frank Swinnerton, W. Somerset Maugham & Stephen McKenna. FFEP: previous owner signature at 45 degree angle SIGNED "Charlotte Dockstader." According to a little bit of research, Dockstader was a mystery writer who was published at least in the 1920's and 1930's, appearing in at least a number of pulp magazines. One of her characters was taxi cab driver Spud McGee and some of her stories were "Anything Can Happen," "Death Rides the Highway" and "The Killing of Emma Barney."
