MR. STRAHAN'S DINNER PARTY, A COMEDY IN ONE ACT WITH PROLOGUE AND EPILOGUE BY A. EDWARD NEWTON AND A NOTE BY EDWARD F. O'DAY.
Newton, A. Edward

- San Francisco : Printed for the Book Club of California by John Henry Nash 1930 - folio - cloth-backed boards, paper spine label. - (vi), ix, 43 pages. - Order Nr. 40672 - Price: $ 125.00

First edition, limited to 350 numbered and signed copies (Fleck A.26). Newton's play describes a mythical meeting between Dr. Franklin and Dr. Johnson at the printer Strahan's house. As might be imagined, the lines are fiery at times. In real life the two never met. One of the more spectacularly produced Nash books. Covers slightly rubbed with front corner bumped.
