Lot #67: Vintage 1927 Book - "My Story That I Like Best"

Black Cloth. Gold Gilt Lettering. New York: International Magazine Company, Inc., 1927. "My Story That I Like Best" is a unique and influential literary anthology edited by Ray Long, the editor of "Cosmopolitan" magazine, first published in 1925 by International Magazine Company, Inc. in New York. This volume represents a fascinating experiment in early 20th-century publishing, where six of the most popular and "highest-paid" short story writers of the era—Edna Ferber, Irvin S. Cobb, Peter B. Kyne, James Oliver Curwood, Meredith Nicholson, and H.C. Witwer—were asked to select their own personal favorite work from their extensive catalogs and provide a detailed introduction explaining their choice. The result is a collection that blends fiction with rare autobiographical insight, as the authors discuss the creative sparks, rejections, and personal milestones associated with stories like Ferber's "The Gay Old Dog" or Curwood's "The Mouse."
