Description: A Smuggler's Bible, Joseph McElroy. Advance Reading Copy, First Edition. Joseph McElroy, 3 Uncorrected proofs! All presentation copies signed to book collector and author Burt Britton. The collection includes The Smugglers Bible, which was the author’s first book, as well as Lookout Cartridge and Plus. In the inscriptions you can discern how well McElroy respected Britton and his opinions on literature. . Britton discovered his love of literature later in life and set his work schedule to work nights so that he could spend his days in book stores reading. He would eventually work at The Strand in NYC for 10 years. He famously was able to convince very noted authors to create self portraits of themselves and give them to him! He would publish a book containing 500 of them. He was known to be brash, telling customers what they “should” be reading. He once said, “There is no doubt in my mind that I am the greatest reader alive, at least in fiction.” .
