Published in 1958, The Ugly American became Lederer's and co-writer Eugene Burdick's best known book, as well as an American bestseller. While no early drafts or notes are included, there are later typescript drafts of the novel that show thoughtful editing for grammar, sentence structure, and word choice, possibly allowing a glimpse at some of the final edits made before the book was published. Chapters are grouped by their working titles which often, though not always, coincide with the final published chapter titles.
I happened to stumble across the listing for the anthology Saved by the Belle which you added to the DB-- being as the stories are all public domain and all available online (thanks, Google Books and magazine archives!) I read some of them and skimmed others. It's a cool & interesting anthology, giving a glimpse of the ways writers imagined women being intrepid in the early 1900s. I particularly liked the one about the telephone operator; a bit sentimental but energetic nonetheless, and a glimpse of a way that new communication technology felt in a very different age from ours. Anyhow, the reason I'm writing to you is that none of these stories is speculative except for the ghost story "The Shell of Sense" and "Buried Treasures." Do you want to remove the others from the listing? --Vasha 02:20, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
