Written while working as a reporter for the <I>Chicago Daily News</B></I> Sandburg touts his new book <I>Smoke and Steel</B></I>. It reads in part: "I have just finished reading the first half of galley proofs on "Smoke and Steel", which Harcourt Brace will publish this fall...Personally, I regard it as the best work I have done. I record such fact and viewpoint here for you as perhaps characteristic of the "new movement". The artists - or aspirants - launch their work before appraisals have so much as begun on the earlier work." The paper has toned and there are a couple of small areas of soiling, with the usual fold creases, else very good.<BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)<BR><BR><B>Import
