Willie Moseley Estate: Thank you for looking at these wonderful autographs and stamps from the estate of the late Dr. His massive original autographs were so impressive to view and his stamp collection was just as massive and he kept all of his autographs and stamps in pristine condition. I became curious about this Mr. Professor at William &. Norfolk Division William W. Seward from where many of Dr. Moseley’s autographs came. Seward was a TRUE autograph collector and tried to collect the best of the mid-century literature names. The name of his book was “SKIRTS of the DEAD NIGHT”. I decided that I must find a copy and read it for myself after many of those great authors he reached out to wanted to read his book. So with the help of a very learned and dedicated Reference Assistant, Caroline F. At my library found a copy and of course it was located at William & Mary and V. I was so excited to get it. It is a small book but full of “WHO DONE IT” mystery. The chapters were described with vivid descriptions of the surroundings so that I could see this Noir book in full black and white in my mind. It was a good read for a first novel; I think his only novel? I did have the “who done it” solved by page 79 (of 158 pages) but I was not yet sure just how the villain would be caught so that held my interest even more. I enjoyed the book and have enjoyed these autographs. The last date on the back cover of the “Due Date” page of the book was dated Mar. Now my mind wonders to think what those great authors thought of his book as they all seemed very pleased that he “the Professor at William & Mary” would use their books in his classroom teachings. I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall for a few of those lessons. This is in good condition. It is a 5 x 7 glossy black & white inscribed photo signed in blue ball point ink. Signed by William Goyen to William Seward, Jr. It reads Greetings and good wishes to William Seward Jr. An is signed “William Goyen”. Photo’s are rare and hard to find any of the older writers. Thank you for looking and please see all my autographs, stamps, PC’s and covers and historical paper items. PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE BEFORE PAYING. I ACCEPT PAY PAL. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE ENJOY MY STORE AND AT.
