About this Item

VANDERBILT, Cornelius Jr. INSCRIBED: To William B. Mayo, whose mechanical mind may be tempered a bit if he reads this "gush" for a little while, with best wishes CV, Jr. Feb 14, 1929 [251] pp. The Macaulay Company 1929 Special Edition No. 51 7 1/2" x 5 1/2" Jacket design by Winn Cary Grant commented, Divorce is a game played by lawyers. It was not always that way. It once resembled a summer camp for café society types. In the first half of the 20th Century, those wanting a no-fault divorce would establish residency in then-glamorous Reno. The author, a Vanderbilt scion, was intimately familiar with the process and was inspired to write this novel about it. Published in the last moments of pre-Depression high society, the mise-en-scène is as important as the plot. It does not matter a damn what a man s habits are, so long as [they are] regular. --Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.00.
