Bookends

In this dual memoir, aging friends and partners in a successful rare manuscript business that spanned half a century reminisce about coming of age in New York prior to World War II. Famous for discovering pulp stories by Louisa May Alcott, the two share the details of how they built their business in an environment that was less than sympathetic to the goals of working women. A story of passionate entrepreneurship, this is also a tale of rare friendship and rare manuscripts.
