Dawn Ginsbergh's Revenge (Was: Quote: I shall lose no time in reading it: antedating (1871) (Gladstone 1897) (Disraeli 1898)

[Garson O'Toole]

Google Books has an edition of Dawn Ginsbergh's Revenge that is dated
1929. The link below may show snippets of the cover. Part of the text
is masked by an overlay, but almost all of the Groucho Marx quote is
visible in one snippet. The text starts, "In an open letter to S. J.
Perelman, Groucho Marx says", followed by the quote. In the "More book
information" section I do not see listed the originating institution
for the book.  Caveats: The date may be wrong; the book may be a
reconstruction or a composite, etc.
