The Bibliotaph, and Other People

By Leon Henry Vincent and Leon H. Vincent

Book Overview

A sharp, sly wink at urban life, delivered with uncommon warmth. The Bibliotaph, And Other People gathers a vivid group of characters and scenes that feel both quintessentially American and freshly modern. This complete short stories collection blends humorous social satire with keen, quirky character studies-rail-thin observations about city streets, shopfronts, and people who inhabit them. Each tale offers a portrait of early twentieth century america, from bustling New York setting tales to intimate vignettes of everyday life, all rendered with a grace that rewards repeated reading. It's a literary anthology for scholars and a treasure trove for casual readers who relish intelligent wit, precise storytelling, and the atmosphere of a rapidly changing metropolis. Historically, the work sits in the glow of classic literature readers and antiquarian book collectors alike, a touchstone for early twentieth century literature and a reminder of a time when short fiction could critique society with warmth and flair. This edition honours the author's voice and the period's rhythms, inviting new generations to discover a timeless voice of urban life portraits and humorous social satire. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
