Red Books

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or books:

    His breast was deep and white,
    cold and caressable;
    his eyes were red glass,
    much to be desired.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    Some time ago a publisher told me that there are four kinds of books that seldom, if ever, lose money in the United States—first, murder stories; secondly, novels in which the heroine is forcibly overcome by the hero; thirdly, volumes on spiritualism, occultism and other such claptrap, and fourthly, books on Lincoln.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
