Richard Armour was an American poet and author who wrote over sixty books. Most were humorous satire, and he was quite popular in his time. This blog is a description of a collection of signed books and correspondence by Richard Armour. The collection will eventually be for sale.
About this blog
My father was a friend of Richard Armour–they both attended Harvard and knew one another in Germany before WWII. When I was a child, we used to read his books and we laughed ourselves blue in the face over them. Every year, Armour would write my father a Christmas card and perhaps enclose a new book if there was one. I still have all these books, signed and with notes by Armour, along with the correspondence. Perhaps I will auction the materials on Ebay.
