Description
"The book documents the spectacle of humanity's reaction to the comet and recreates the stir it caused. The able writing of by-line and staff writers, correspondents and stringers, the music of composers and songwriters, illustrations from sheet music cover artists and post card artists, ads from companies selling soap to champagne--all appearing in a multitude of newspapers, magazines, and journals--made this book possible"--From introduction.
