unearths some literary gems.
From Prefaces, by Don Marquis (illustrated by Tony Sarg):
[Clearly, the publishers of this book were playing a long game. They took out a display ad to promote it in the June 1919 issue of Vanity Fair, and less than 104 years later I came along, got lured in by the ad, and enjoyed the book for free in an out-of-copyright web archive. In the past I've never warmed up to Marquis, but the idea of a book entirely composed of prefaces to imaginary books seemed worth investigating. (And haven't we encountered *another* book of this nature--some other book of introductions to nonexistent books?) Snippets attached.]
