RE: Who is this person?
Roger and Eva,

It isn't Addison Mizner.

As for being Tarbell or Sandburg related, I would say yes, but there have been several authors who have acknowledged him.

Thanks, by the way Roger, for posting this. One of these days I might figure out how to do it myself.

RE: Who is this person?
Good guess, Roger, but it isn't Steffens. I will give one more clue given that this one is going to be difficult. Although he did some writing, he was not a journalist by trade.

Did he write a bio? Or another book?

Not really a biography, per se, but rather a booklet with a limited printing.

RE: Who is this person?
Is it that which made him "VIP" or are we supposed to know him for some other accomplishment, too?

No, there is much more than the booklet.

I sense he's involved with the Tv or film industry?

RE: Who is this person?
Was he a collector? Or historian/scholar? (He could have written other books...) Or a politician?

Steve, it's not Barbee.

Although he was not one of the "Big Five" he was a collector.
