Atlanta: Peachtree, 1980. INSCRIBED warmly on ffep by author. 179pp. hardback tall 8vo: Fine in a near Fine dj in Brodart poly cover. Townsend, who died a year after this book was published, aged 48, founded Atlanta Magazine in 1961. He later founded city magazines in New Orleans and Cincinnati and consulted on 30 more. Time Magazine called him "the father of city magazines in America." His exceptionally warm inscription is to another iconic Atlanta figure, Faith Brunson, who ran a renowned book department in Atlanta's famous Rich's department store from 1945 until Rich's was sold in the late 1970s. A very nice nostalgic Atlanta item.

About Auldfarran Books, IOBA

"I have spent many delightful hours poring over the . . . lists of second-hand booksellers. . . . All these are redolent of romance. They are much more entertaining than half the novels that are written." -W. Somerset Maugham. Auldfarran Books, whose name is taken from an antique Anglo-Scots word meaning "having the sagacity of age," or "wise beyond one's years," is a professional antiquarian and secondhand bookseller (since 1993), and member of the International Association of Online Booksellers, dedicated to the ancient proposition that reading is good for you and, to that end, the enhancement of readers' and collectors' libraries (and even the development of libraries' libraries). Whether you're a voracious, moderate or casual reader, or even if you believe (in the words of Anthony Burgess) "there's no better reason for not reading a book than owning it," we encourage your inquiries and special search requests. E-mail is the best way to get in touch with us.
