[wiki]Kendall Banning was a World War I veteran, the author of over a dozen books (including books on Annapolis and West Point), and an editor of Cosmopolitan, Popular Radio, and Hearst Magazine.During the 1929 debate on revising the tariff legislation that allowed United States customs inspectors to ban and seize imported books they deemed "obscene", Banning reprinted his 1926 Censored Mother Goose Rhymes - the traditional rhymes with words blacked out to suggest obscenity, which he dedicated to "the censors of America" - and had it distributed to members of Congress. Gertrude Stein owned a copy of the 1929 edition.The publisher, Laurence Woodworth was the scrivener for the Brothers of the Book, a small private press "made up of those who like well-printed books" based in Chicago and founded in 1898.Ref: Private Press in the Midwest; SAAM; Fandom; Garoffolo, Vincent.
