Everybody's Autobiography.
Stein, Gertrude. Everybody’s Autobiography. New York: Random House, (1937).
8vo.; thick oatmeal cloth; narrow copper band, stamped in blind, running down the spine; blue and white dust-jacket; a bright, beautiful copy.
First edition of a work identified on the jacket as “a sequel to The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, though that description smacks more of salesmanship than textual accuracy. Fundamentally a recapitulation of Stein and Toklas’s three year tour of the United States that catapulted Stein from literary celebrity to cult status, the first printing consisted of 3000 copies, half the number of the earlier work. Wilson A28a.
A scarce book.
