My Life as Author and EditorH. L. Mencken stipulated that this memoir remain sealed in a vault for thirty five years after his death. For good reason: My Life as Author and Editor is so telling and uproariously opinionated that it might have provoked a storm of libel suits.

H. L. Mencken stipulated that this memoir remain sealed in a vault for thirty-five years after his death. For good reason: My Life as Author and Editor is so telling and uproariously opinionated that it might have provoked a storm of libel suits. As he recounts his career as a critic, essayist, and editor of the ground-breaking magazine Smart Set, Mencken brings us face to face with the literary aristocracy of his day, from the dour womanizer Theodore Dreiser to F. Scott Fitzgerald, drowning his gifts in alcohol. Here, too, are the hacks, poseurs, and bohemian crackpots who flocked around them. Most of all, here is Mencken himself, defying censors and Prohibition agents with equal aplomb in an age when literature was a contact sport.Binding Type: Paperback

INCREASED DESK SPACE - ORGANIZED
Color: Walnut, Color: Walnut
I just received my new Vertical Laptop Stand by UPERGO! I had no idea that this device could free up so much space on my desk! AND, it looks great, very rich & professional with the solid wood, Walnut dividers. It has solid weight so your laptops won't just tumble or slide away either. The dividers that hold up to 2 laptops will also hold your cell phone. What an clever invention by UPERGO!
I am now able to keep both of my laptops in the same space which frees up substantial workspace for me. The feature that allows me to adjust the width for different sized laptops is GREAT.
I was at wits end how to add ventilation to my laptop as it became so hot. It now runs much, much cooler because the fan/air flow is vertical as opposed to flat on my desk. So many improvements in just one device. Thanks to UPERGO for this fine device which makes my desk look better & so much more functional!
I highly recommend to anyone that spends time with laptops at their desk!

Attractive and Solid Laptop Stand
Color: Walnut, Color: Walnut
The premium quality at this affordable price is a great deal to me. You'd see these sort of designs sold on high-end desk organization companies at expensive ($$) prices. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, this is a solid laptop stand that was built with the utmost attention to detail. The walnut panels are lined with scratch-resistant felt pads while the aluminum base has a silicone cushion to protect your devices when placing them in. The silicone feet and sturdy weight prevents the stand from moving and tipping over. The adjustability feature is great, especially if you want to accommodate several devices or even books. Per its specifications, I find that it accurately accommodates items ranging from 2cm (0.7in) up to 4cm (1.5in) in width. It fits my 2020 Macbook Air 13" perfectly.

Works and looks great.
Color: Walnut
Looks, fits and works great. Helps to keep the fan free to flow, and clears up desk space.
Once you get one of these, you’ll probably never go back.

Product Quality.
Color: Walnut
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
“This stand is sturdy, stylish, and keeps my desk clutter‑free. The walnut wood and aluminum design looks premium, and the dual slots fit both my laptop and tablet securely. A bit pricier than basic stands, but worth it for the quality and organization.”
