Inscribed by the author: "For Rosamond Gilder, Who guided the plowing and the harvest. Edith R. Isaacs. Sept. '47." The first two lines of the printed Acknowledgments page reads: "My thanks to Theatre Arts magazine, and especially to its editor, Rosamond Gilder, for permission to reprint a part of the material which appeared some years ago in an issue which bore the same title as this book. It was, indeed, the fact that the magazine was sold out three days after it came off the press that induced me to go to work... ." A nice association copy of this overview of black drama.
