| Publisher and writer, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. A lifelong freethinker, Socialist and iconoclast, after his youthful years as an activist reformer, he started a Socialist newspaper in Girard, KS in 1919. That same year he began publishing his ‘Little Blue Books’, a series of small and cheap paperback reprints, sales of which eventually rose to 500 000 a year. In addition to publishing such magazines as American Freeman and Agnostic, he wrote many books of his own, ranging from literary studies to a ‘How To’ series, plus his autobiography (2 vols, 1949–50). |
