Irregular Crises of the Late ‘Forties.
Edited by Jon L. Lellenberg.
Part of the BSI archival-history series, Irregular Crises covers Summer 1947 to December 1950 and reveals the BSI’s narrow escape from extinction as the Original Series BSJ failed, the venerable Murray Hill Hotel where it had met since 1940 was torn down, and the annual dinner and BSI scion societies grew beyond Morley’s expectations or desires.
508 pages, 8.5″ x 5.5″ paperback, 1999.
With photos including BSI Dinner 1949 & 1950 on fold-outs.
