I find this news item fascinating on many levels. Exec buys original copy of Clement Moore poem to recite at his Manhattan Christmas party. Wow. They still do stuff like this?
Question for the forum: anyone know who this is, and/or where this party was? Any Flickr links?
Me, I have never been invited to a Manhattan publishing-industry party before and had no idea that some of said execs gave Christmas parties where they go and read original manuscripts of classic American Christmas poems. I mean, a $280k poem has got to be the life of the party, no? This is so cool! If only Clement Clarke Moore could know how much he's worth!
