The Standardization of Error

New York: W.W. Norton and Company, 1927. First Edition. INSCRIBED by the author on the half title page, "Dear Beatrice, Here is the article you and Bruce liked, 'done' into a book / Vilhjalmur Stefansson / October 13 1927," with the manuscript ink annotation of Bruce Gould's name on the front endpaper.

Beatrice Blackmar Gould and her husband Bruce Gould were co-editors of the "Ladies Home Journal" from 1935 through 1962. It was under their leadership that the magazine became the top-selling women's magazine in the country for nearly 30 years, largely due to their efforts to modernize the journal and broaden its subject matter for the emancipated woman. The pair co-wrote the autobiography, "American Story: Memories and Reflections of Bruce Gould and Beatrice Blackmar Gould," published by Harper and Row in 1968.

Very Good plus, with front hinge starting and slight toning to the spine.
