Description

"I'm not a collector (of anything) but I have, as you may guess, great interest in books. Firsts is absolutely first-rate!"

Scarce ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, January 1, 1997. Handwritten letter to Robin Smiley, sending thanks for an issue of Firsts: The Book Collector's Magazine which featured a cover story on To Kill a Mockingbird. In full: "Thank you for your most kind letter and for my copy of Firsts. I must say that a bookseller friend sent me a copy of the article—an item rare in itself for its generosity—but I had not seen the entire magazine. This copy will be the first of many Firsts, I hope, because I'm subscribing immediately. I'm not a collector (of anything) but I have, as you may guess, great interest in books. Firsts is absolutely first-rate!" In fine condition. Accompanied by a copy of the magazine mentioned.
