1930Best.-Nr. 101256New York 1930. 1930. Very good. - Over 30 words penned on the 8-1/4 inch high by 5-1/4 inch wide blank leaf excised from his book "Mr. Boccaccio of Broadway" the book is not here present. The author Kenneth MacAlpin likely a pseudonym presents a copy of his book to the American actress and speakeasy club owner "For Texas Guinan a grand gal - this second copy of the book!

The left edge of the page is slightly chipped and there is a small chip out from the top edge of the page. Very good. The elusive American author of "Mr. Boccaccio of Broadway" Kenneth McAlpin was likely a pseudonym as he shared the name with the legendary first king of Scotland. His real identity remains shrouded in mystery. The book not here present whose half-title reads "The Pentameron of Mr. Boccaccio of Broadway" is a collection of 5 slightly racy & risque satirical stories with illustrations by Harold DeLay. Published by Ross Neu of the New Publishing Company MacAlpin dedicated the book to "Harry Stephen Keeler who strongly suspects my real identity". The American actress & singer "Texas" Guinan appeared on stage and screen eventually forming her own film production company. Yet she is most famous for the several New York City Prohibition era Speakeasy clubs she managed.

Though she was once arrested during police raids of the clubs charges were dismissed. New York, 1930.
