About this Item

1st printing. VG+/VG: Book appears unread; unclipped DJ shows a touch of wear to top edge; spine slightly sunned. Looks nice in Brodart cover. Inscribed by Gannett on half-title page and dated 6/1/48. Biography of the man "who owns or controls more daily newspapers than any man in the country." Of course, Gannett Co. continued growing after its founder died in 1957; today it's a $5.5 billion company, the largest U.S. newspaper publisher by daily circulation (including USA Today, The Arizona Republic, The Indianapolis Star, and The Cincinnati Enquirer). 308 pages.

Store Description

Hi all! I've been accumulating volumes for well over half my life, mostly autographed and inscribed copies. Wrote a book on book collecting for a Random House imprint in 2004 and another, "Book Collecting Now: The Value of Print in a Digital Age," for Chatwin Books, published in 2019. I intended to keep most of these books forever, but my wife and I decided to move to Manhattan, which meant downsizing from an enormous suburban house, with practically unlimited bookshelf space, to an apartment in Greenwich Village. So hello, AbeBooks!

Terms of Sale:

If I've mischaracterized a book, please let me know, and I'm happy to accept returns for refunds.

Shipping Terms:

Orders usually ship within three business days. I generally pack books in boxes, with padding, and unless they're unusually bulky or heavy -- more than four pounds or so -- I won't ask for additional shipping costs. For domestic media-mail buyers, anyway. Prices for international and even priority shipping can get *insane*.
