The engaging autobiography of one of Broadway's most famous producers, Crosby Gaige (1882-1949), also known as a book collector and small press publisher. His work in the theatre became a serious endeavor for him after he joined forces with actor, playwright, and theatre owner Edgar Selwyn and his brother Arch. Together they produced many hit plays, including Within the Law (1912) and Why Marry? (1917). After a time, he branched out on his own and produced a string of successes, including The Butter & Egg Man (1925), The Enemy (1925), The Shannons of Broadway (1927), Little Accident (1928), and Accent on Youth (1934). Gaige published a respected group of limited-edition books in the 1920s and 1930s by such authors as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Thomas Hardy, Joseph Conrad, etc.
