Penn, Garland I The Afro- American Press and its Editors. Frontispiece portrait, additional portraits; lacks folding facsimile of newspaper. Thick 8vo, publisher's pictorial maroon cloth, lettered in silver and black; extremities rubbed; spine faded; recased. A solid copy of a book that, because of its girth, is seldom found without faults. Springfield, Mass.: Willey, 1891 E150-250 First Edition of the first book on the African-American press in the United States. Still the best source for information on the topic available, especially in terms of biographical data. Hampton Catalogue, 5058
