Detailed Description
This is a wonderful, scarce piece of regional American journalism history: An Editor's Scrapbook, compiled by Almet S. Moffat in 1929. Moffat, a prominent New York journalist and local historian (widely known for his historical works on Orange County, NY), curated this distinct volume to commemorate his impressive 60-year career in journalism.
The book is a charming, eclectic time capsule featuring a curated selection of poems, prose, satirical essays, and humorous clips that crossed his desk over six decades. It features both celebrated classic verses and rare, preserved works from completely anonymous or forgotten period poets. A fantastic acquisition for collectors of vintage poetry anthologies, early 20th-century humor, or American newspaper and media history.
