WRITER'S RESOURCES

I am roughly dividing the book pages on this site according to subject. This page is for books and other items for writers.

If you should want digital photos of any of these let me know. I can stick digital photos on here. It is usually a slow process. (I just stick the photos off the camera onto the site. I don't edit them for size.)

E-mailing photos of specific items would be faster and could possibly happen sooner than getting them on here. (I can edit the size and make them smaller. That just takes time. Let me know if you need E-mailed photos edited for size.)

Writing Books:

How To Write

Gertrude Stein

First Edition

Plain Edition

27 Rue De Fleurus Paris

November 1931

“Of this book there has been printed for Plain Edition by the Darantiere Press at Dijon, France one thousand copies.”

Ex library, “Beverly Hills Public Library”

[According to, http://www.tbclrarebooks.com/pages/books/31203/gertrude-stein/how-to-write-signed if I read correctly, this book was not issued with a dust jacket. I remember finding online, a mention of a conversation between Sylvia Beach and Gertrude Stein with regards the publication of this book. For the life of me I can't find it now.]

To learn more about my copy of this book, please read the July 26, 2012 entry of my, "Writing About Old Books," page.

Writing for Radio, Books:

Off Mike

Radio Writing by the Nation’s Top Radio Writers

Edited by, Jerome Lawrence

[This one is inscribed, “To Getz.... who pointed the way. all my friendship. Jerry Lawrence 1945”. There is damage to dust jacket. I do not know who, “Getz” is. I sent away to the library holding Jerome Lawrence’s papers to find out who Getz was or is. They wrote back and said they would have had to contact Mr. Lawrence’s family. I wrote back with something to the effect of, that I did not know they would have to go to that kind of trouble. I never got another reply.]

I will probably be contacting, "you," first to let you know about this site. (In other words, you should have my E-mail address already.) But if you run across this site on your own some how, and you want to contact me, there is contact information at the top of the page. If you can't reach me that way, then go to: http://www.whatdubhghalldoes.org/feedback.htm. That is the feedback form on our main website. You can follow the directions on the page in order to contact us. (Which is pretty much the same as above, now that I think about it. Had to disable the form because of excessive spam.)
