Binder of Signed Letters from Literary Figures and Others Sent to Dr. Absalom Minola, Cat Extraordinaire

(various): 1957-1971. 11-3/4 x 10-1/4 inches. Black three-ring binder with gilt stamped "Dr. Absalom Minola" to front cover, containing 39 sleeves with material inserted loosely on both sides of a black paper construction paper divider, plus assorted loose material laid in. Includes 74 items of correspondence addressed to Absalom Minola, the bulk of which are letters, as well some postcards and a couple of stock samples. Also included are relevant newspaper clippings, a certificate stating that Minola became an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church, plus several issues of the Eisenhower College Newsletter and Eisenhower College Press. Binder quite rough, with a detached front cover, loss to the joint ends, and soiling; light soiling, toning and scattered foxing throughout; chipping and wear to newspapers and loose letter laid in at rear. Good overall. A collection of correspondence documenting a whimsical literary hoax perpetrated by a cat known as Dr. Absalom Minola. Technica
