Girard, Kansas: Haldeman-Julius Company, various dates. Paperback. Forty-two different staplebound booklets, all 3.5x5 inches. Generally in very good condition, with some toning. Dated examples range from the 1920s to the 1930s; many are later printings with the dates removed. Despite the series having the title "Little Blue Books," they come in a variety of colors. Markun was one of the more peculiar contributors to the Little Blue Book series. The son of Jewish immigrants, he graduated from Harvard only to become a recluse, quietly submitting manuscript after manuscript to Haldeman-Julius until his suicide in 1932 at the age of 31.
