About This Item
Bowling Green, Ohio, U.S.A.: Bowling Green State University Popular Press, 1989. A biography of the founder of a great magazine publishing empire, with publications such as True Story and True Detective. A champion of free speech, he advocated physical exercise, diet reform and radical health solutions in his publication Physical Culture, much to the consternation of the established medical profession. The eccentricities and strong will that marked his business career carried over to his personal life, much to the consternation of his several wives. A fascinating biography. Jacket has a light crimp to the lower front panel and a small hole to the front flap fold and rear spine fold, in new Brodart. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition.. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good.
