Farrar, John Chipman

Forgotten Shrines, inscribed to Thomas Beer

New Haven: Yale University Press, C. 1919. First Printing. 8vo, stiff card covers with printed blue overwrap, very good, inscribed "To Tom Beer with much admiration, John Farrar, New York City, May 1920." Probably the recipient was Thomas Beer, who graduated from Yale in 1911 (Farrar graduated from there in 1919) and published novels, studies of Stephen Crane, criticism, etc. Farrar's was the second book to be published in the Yale Younger Poets series. He went on to found two publishing houses as well as the Breadloaf Writers Conference. Very good. Item #H30567
