"M is for MENCKEN/A Merry Mocker, A'Nawful Knocker, A Galvanizing Shocker. But under all his jibes, and diatribes, At Morons, Babbits and Democracy, Lies the man's hatred of hypocrisy." This rhyme from Maryland Miniatures 1634-1934 by a Lover of Maryland begins this bibliography of Mencken publications, 1899-1996, with B. Adler's definitive bibliography on his magazine and newspaper articles incorporated. Sections cover: separate publications; first appearances in books and pamphlets; periodical appearances; juvenalia, jokes, ephemera, and other private printings; keepsakes, offprints, pamphlet piracies, and promotional items; ghosts and other unlocated items; and translations and Braille versions. Includes facsimile covers and excerpts, and an undated frontispiece photograph of Mencken. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
