Presentation Copy inscribed by Smith to Marion W, "With thanks for the / many kindnesses shown to / Katherine and me". Laid in is an obituary of Smith "By any standards, Smith is one of the more important figures in the history of Chicago journalism and literature. ... " the title fits the hero of this novel perfectly. Although his adopted city (Josslyn is from a Chicago suburb) become ugly and foul, Josslyn sees it always through the eyes of an idealist. Later in Paris, he weighs his religious and aesthetic values and Chicago as well against Europe." [ Chicago In Story, p.181 ].

Sobre Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
