"MY BOOK . . . UNSUITABLE FOR THE RECTORY BREAKFAST TABLE ON SUNDAY" SHAW, GEORGE BERNARD. Autograph Note Signed, "G. Bernard Shaw," to [Austin Harrison?] ("the Editor [of] The Observer"): "I should have to arrange for simultaneous publication in America. But it would not be a wise stroke of journalism. 'Attacks on religion' are not compatible with free general circulation for a family newspaper; and my [unknown] book will contain in every chapter some passage quite unsuitable for the rectory breakfast table on Sunday." 1 page, small 12mo, personal correspondence card; minor scattered soiling recto and verso, stamp and postmark on verso, addressed in his hand verso. Hert[ford]s[hire], 20 May 1907
