Lawrence Powell began this book in 1941 at age 35 but put it aside feeling it was not to his complete liking. It wasn't until he had retired as the librarian for the University of California at Los Angeles that he revisited the manuscript, reworked it, and finally deemed it worthy of being published in1977.
