My Last Million Readers

New York: E.P. Dutton & Co.. Near Fine in Good dj. 1941. First Edition. Hardcover. [book is only lightly shelfworn; the jacket, though, is in pretty rough shape, heavily edgeworn, with various tears and small chips, bits of paper loss at several corners, and the spine panel sun-browned to near-unreadability; on the plus side, though, most of the front panel is present and the rear panel (with a long bio of the author) is almost completely intact]. An autobiography by the founding editor of the notorious tabloid The New York Evening Graphic (and thus a pioneer of the "if it bleeds, it leads" school of journalism). He bailed from the Graphic in 1929, taking columnist Walter Winchell (who he had hired) with him to the rival Hearst paper, The Daily Mirror, which he piloted until 1935. He also wrote a couple of novels with a tabloid newspaper background, "Hot News" (1931) and "The Scandal Monger" (1932). ****NOTE that additonal postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** .
