Done with Mirrors: Admissions of a Free-Lance Writer

New York: Ives Washburn, Inc.. Good. (c.1943). First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [worn but generally solid copy, wear to covers at edges and bumped corners, slight fraying to cloth at base of spine, a bit of staining to rear cover]. The author's account of writing for the radio, the newspapers, the magazines, the movies, advertising agencies -- basically anybody who'd pay him. Full of great inside dope of how he made a living at this, particularly in radio, which is where he seems to have done most of his work. The Foreword is by Sheila Barrett, a popular comedienne and monologist of her day, who had worked with Hasty on a New York radio show called "The Time of Your Life" in the 1930s. .
