Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Photographs (illustrator). The career of one of America's most beloved newspapermen stems logically - for Gene Fowler-from his first job: at the age of ten he worked for a taxidermist. Here he developed a knowledge of and an antipathy to stuffed objects - including shirts. Realizing that his next job should be a step forward, he became a delivery boy for a Denver grocery store, and naturally progressed from delivering pies to delivering type as a printer's devil. After a year at the University of Colorado, he was briefly a telegrapher, then worked successively for three Denver papers, ending up as a reporter on the Denver Post. In 1918 he came to New York to pinch-hit for Damon Runyon as a sports columnist. After a one day success he turned to reporting and by 1924 had become sports editor of the Daily Mirror He later held posts as manager of the American, promotion manager of King Features, and-in 1928-managing editor of the Morning Telegraph. When he left the newspaper business, he settled in Hollywood and produced the best-sellers which have brought him solid fame as a writer; but more than that, Gene Fowler offered the warmest tribute a man can receive - he has become a Iegend in his own time. FROM THE REVIEWS OF MINUTES of the LAST MEETING - 'A really remarkable account of a fantastic human being, and at the same time a more-than-faintly raffish series of recollections, often hysterically funny . . . the quintessence of Fowler himself.' -JOSEPH HENRY JACKSON, San Francisco Chronicle; 'As fine, funny, and sentimental a swatch of anecdote ranging from tenderness to ribaldry as has come down the broad highway in some time.'- Minneapolis Tribune; One of the most entertaining books to be found for any age or any mood.''- Houston Chronicle; ''It's Fowler at his brilliant best.'' - DAN PARKER.
