Was there ever a Golden age in American Book Publishing? We suggest it was from the 1930s through World War Two into the 1950s. Notable author-editor relationships during those years were: Cass Canfield and Edna St. Vincent Millay; Maxwell Perkins at Scribner’s and Ring Lardner, Sherwood Anderson, Thomas Wolfe, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald; Harold S. Latham, and James Michener and Margaret Mitchell; Bennett Cerf and Theodor 'Dr. Seuss' Geisel; Pascal Covici and John Steinbeck.And there were others . . .
