The auction drew two bidders and three bids, and the winning bid was considerably higher than its $7,000 starting price.<br/><br/>From the seller, a friend of Capote’s: All of these personal things were given to me by Mr. Capote. I picked him up from the airport in Kansas City, Missouri several times and drove him to Holcomb, Kansas. Mr. Capote was getting information on a crime that took place there for a book he was writing. At WhatSellsBest.com, James Massey writes that Capote liked to write a draft of his books and then a revision longhand, before ever using a typewriter.<br/><br/><br/><br/></p> <p>Read more <a href="http://blogs.publishersweekly.com/blogs/PWxyz/2012/04/25/capotes-in-cold-blood-typewriter-sells-for-8281/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://www.thegoldentriangle.org/post/21810049424http://www.thegoldentriangle.org/post/21810049424Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:02:22 -0400jessica-schulte<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m30jsaI22G1qebhtpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This month’s issue of <em>The Atlantic</em> has a very fresh (and honest) <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/05/a-swing-and-a-miss/8943/" target="_blank">article on last year’s “big book,”<em> The Art of Fielding</em>. </a></p> <p>Very accurate and ballsy piece.<br/><br/></p>http://www.thegoldentriangle.org/post/21759276591http://www.thegoldentriangle.org/post/21759276591Tue, 24 Apr 2012 22:19:22 -0400The Art of FieldingThe AtlanticChad HarbachB.
