Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-26 00:00:00 August Cwik Got this at work (duplicate copy) when we purchased the estate of Carl Jacobi and as we prep them for republishing, the book served as nice context for his fiction output. It's not really a traditional biography, more of a short bio wrapped around a bibliography / thorough accounting of Jacobi's own personal writing files - transcription of meticulous notes of submissions, rejections, title changes, letters from editors, commentaries, and payments (or lack thereof). I'd suggest it for those interested in what the day to day, month to month, year to year hardscrabble life of an actual working pulp writer was like (to keep his parents solvent, Jacobi worked a day job and wrote at night) - as opposed to glossy, fanciful versions of same. Interesting to note that Jacobi's approach was influenced by Somerset Maugham, how easily Jacobi could move through genres (as long as they interested him) and how much research he did. Sad to note how often he had the bad luck to sell to a magazine that then almost immediately went under, thus resulting in no publication and no payment.
