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.

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.

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

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?

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.
