Quite frankly, I had no idea about this book when I first acquired it; fortunately, Wikipedia has a fulsome description of the work, which I excerpt here below (with my thanks and occasional contributions): Arthur Crew Inman (May 11, 1895 December 5, 1963) was a reclusive and unsuccessful American poet whose 17-million word diary, extending from 1919 to 1963, is one of the longest English language diaries on record He moved to Boston, where he became increasingly obsessed with his health. He lived for much of his life in dark, soundproofed apartments. He owned several apartments in order to surround himself with noiseless spaces. Having inherited wealth, he was able to cater to his hypochondria and other eccentric ways and afford servants and others hired to come and talk with him. His wife, Evelyn, appears to have accepted that he would have sex with some of these so-called "talkers." He attempted suicide on several occasions. On December 5, 1963, when he found the noise from the construction of the Prudential Tower near his apartment unbearable, he committed suicide with a revolver in Brookline Massachusetts He left 155 handwritten volumes of the diary when he died, entirely unpublished. Inman's diary is not only considered unique by some, but historian David Herbert Donald called it "the most remarkable diary ever published by an American." Through its many volumes, Inman provides a panoramic record of people, events, and observations from more than four decades of the twentieth century Harvard professor of English and American literature Daniel Aaron published a two-volume edition of selections in 1985 Reviewing the two-volume edition, Time described Inman as a "megalomaniacal bigot misogynist Peeping Tom hypochondriac," who "hated Jews, Italians and Roosevelt while admiring Hitler." The reviewer for the New York Times enjoyed Inman's many portraits of working class and middle-class visitors with interesting stories, but thought less of his self-revelations, "that mostly meant giving vent to bristling prejudices about lesser breeds (lesser than Nordic, that is to say). I am pleased to offer for your consideration a very nice copy of this two-volume selection from the diaries of Arthur Crew Inman, titled: The Inman Diaries a Public and Private Confession, selected and edited by Daniel Aaron (as mentioned above). This two-volume set of medium-sized hard cover books (6 x 9 ¼ inches, to page 788 & to page 1661) was published by the Harvard University Press of Cambridge, Massachusetts, dated 1985 and a First Edition with the same date on both title and copyright pages, and if I am reading the coding correctly, the First Printing as well. These two books are bound in dark blue cloth with a simulated leather and gilt title panel on the spines. They are contained in a sturdy cardboard slipcase bound in olive green cloth with a paper dust jacket-like wrapper around it. Each volume has a small sheath of pages of b&w photos as illustrations, mostly of the people mentioned in the book The book also opens with a Cast of Characters, brief bios of the various individuals mentioned in the book. Condition: This two-volume set of books is in near fine condition. The slipcase shows no wear I can discern although the paper dust jacket-like wrapper has some very minor edge wear, some rolling to the edge. Both hard covers are clean and their covers unblemished. The title panels on the spines are clean and bright and very attractive. Inside, the books are unmarked and the pages and plates are clean and bright, from cover to cover. One doubts in fact whether these books have ever been read or even opened, as the ribbon page markers are in place just as the publisher inserted them. All hinges are fully intact, and the bindings are tight, sound and square. These books are not ex-library or remainders.".
