In P. J. O'Rourke's 2014 review of the Library of America edition he opined "if we exclude Mark Twain, whose reminiscences suffered the rapine of fiction and whose attempt at autobiography is a mess, the three best memoir writers in American literature are H. L. Mencken." The Dorset edition contains all three volumes (Happy Days, Newspaper Days, and Heathen Days), first published in 1940, 1941, 1943 respectively, complete and unabridged. Small octavo (8.5x5.75 inches) in gray paper boards and blue quarter cloth. A fine unread copy in a very good jacket with light edge wear and toning.
