...read a piquant item in the catalog in which swank American Art Association Anderson Galleries last week were describing parcels to be auctioned in Manhattan Dec. 9 & 10. Special clients who were permitted to pore through these early editions of Herr Hitler's Battle found many another rare bit of the Leader's wishful anthropology, since suppressed, revised or left out in translation.

Every work of Gruenewald is finely reproduced in the series of plates included in this volume. There is also a catalog of Gruenewald's works, with a bibliography of articles and books on him that have been published since 1914.

What next?" Sandburg puts down with equal approbation a catalog of the casual heroisms of everyday work, the hazards of steelmaking, of mining, of railroading. He records the last words of a wireless operator on a sinking ship ("This is no night to be out without an umbrella!") and the names of railroads: The Delay Linger and Wait is the D. L. & W., the Delaware, Lackawanna...
