This Is My Best, edited by Whit Burnett, was published by The Dial Press in New York in 1942. This anthology brings together over 150 self-chosen masterpieces from America's 93 greatest living authors, offering a rich tapestry of stories, essays, drama, humor, poetry, history, biography, reportage, and profiles. The book is a significant collection that reflects the diverse voices and styles of its time, making it a valuable addition for collectors and literary enthusiasts. Although this edition's scarcity is not explicitly noted, its publication during the early 1940s suggests it might be less commonly available in pristine condition. The book's physical state reflects its age, with a dust jacket that is notably worn and torn, yet the integrity of the text remains intact, offering readers a glimpse into the literary landscape of its era.
