Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Low Man On A Totem Pole, H. Allen Smith, with an Introduction by Fred Allen; Doubleday, Doran & Co., Inc. (1941)"There are other people to be thanked...Professor Morris Gilbert, who read the finished manuscript & pointed out its grammatical perfection & complete lack of flaw..." (From the shameless author's preface).
"Mr. Smith the biographer, who profiles the drab tycoon & the celebrity of the hour, jousts with the trite...physically, [he] is a waste of skin. He weighs about a hundred & ten pounds with...the complete works of Dale Carnegie under each arm...his first name is Harry..." (From Fred Allen's hilarious introduction).
Amazing, this near-perfect collection of columns was a best seller, which means that at least in 1941, Americans knew what was funny. Never toss.
