Mencken, H.L. HEATHEN DAYS, 1890-1936. 1943 1st Frontispiece photograph. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1943. First edition. The third and final installment in Mencken's autobiographical trilogy, preceded by "Happy Days" (1940) and "Newspaper Days" (1941). A series of 20 random reminiscences, some left over from "Newspaper Days," including Mencken's reporter's-eye view of two Democratic National Conventions and his memorable sketch of Abraham Lincoln Herford, a boxing promoter and manager of lightweight champion Joe Gans, who was also an announcer of unmatched eloquence and protean humor. Signed and dated in the year of publication by Mencken on the front flyleaf. Ink signature and date to the front pastedown. Spine somewhat browned and leaning just a touch. Jacket price-clipped and a bit shelfworn, with a rectangular half-inch chip to the top and a two-inch tear to the bottom of the rear panel, and some general light soiling; otherwise a very good copy.
