Thomas Kunkel's Genius in Disguise, with a Signed Bookplate

Published in 1995, Genius in Disguise:  Harold Ross of The New Yorker is Thomas Kunkel's full-length biography of The New Yorker's founding editor. Signed copies of this book, his first, are not terribly common and many of them seem to carry the author's signature on bookplates. The dust jacket reveals that at the time of publication Kunkel lived in Indiana with his wife and four daughters. Going on a national book signing tour may not have been a high priority.






"Magazines are about eighty-five percent luck."
                                                            —Harold W. Ross
