i want to replace my brittle paperback with something more reading-hardy ... this deserves to be savored more than once, and at regular intervals. part of my introduction all those decades ago (this paperback version was released in 1973) .. the original was copyrighted 1972 ... to the characters of the Algonquin Round Table. A love affair that continues.
Interesting creative life...
