Book Shop Chicago. Passivity Program by Christopher Morley, published by the Argus Book Shop, Inc., Chicago, and dated 1939 on the photographed title page. The book is a compact literary or essay publication associated with the American author and bookseller whose writing and bibliophilic connections remain of interest to collectors of small-press material. Its cloth boards are decorated with a geometric horizontal-band design and a gilt-lettered title panel. The copyright and publishing statement are shown, but an edition or limitation statement has not been fully established from the photographs. Covers display light soiling, rubbed edges, and age-related marks; the paper is generally toned. A desirable addition to a Morley or Chicago fine-press collection, subject to inspection of the full contents.
