Rhodes, Eugene Manlove:

$1,000 · Offered by William Reese Company

GOOD MEN AND TRUE. This copy bears the enigmatic presentation: "Mr. 'Booster' Brown - Compliments of E.M. Rhodes." Any Rhodes inscriptions are rare. This copy belonged at one time to collector Paul Seyboldt, who tried to discover Brown's identity, without success. Laid in are two letters to him from Rhodes crony and editor, W.H. Hutchinson, and one from widow May D. Rhodes, disclaiming knowledge. Hutchinson does speculate that it is a "friend from Gene's high and careless youth." Hutchinson also solicits copies of Rhodes' correspondence for his biographical work. A nice association copy.
