[OMNIBOOK magazine was a small magazine that published authorized abridgements of current bestsellers. They were well known for doing a superb job on the abridgements themselves, and in many case the abridgements were done by the original authors! IN THIS ISSUE:
COVER: HERE IS YOUR WAR, Ernie Pyle. LONG, LONG AGO, Alexander Wollcott. THE FOUNTAINHEAD, Ayn Rand. WHY WOMEN CRY, Elizabeth Hawes. Cover especially drawn for OMNIBOOK by Stephen I. Voorhies.
"Authorized abridqements of four current best-selling books These books are abridged in the authors' ownwords through special royalty arrangement with the original publishers." RARE and HISTORIC World War II, WWII WARTIME Edition!]
ERNIE PYLE -- HERE IS YOUR WAR. A homespun Hoosier who is also a great reporter writes the saga of American boys in battle.
AYN RAND, THE FOUNTAINHEAD. The integrity of an architectural genius is the theme of this tempestuous novel of boldly clashing personalities.
ELIZABETH HAWES, WHY WOMEN CRY. The author of "Fashion Is Spinach" extols "wenches with wrenches" and warns wives who think they are still living in a feudal era.
ALEXANDER WOOLLCOTT, LONG, LONG AGO. A collection of poignant writings by the well- beloved "Town Crier" of the air waves, the stage, and the printed word.
OMNIBOOK FOREWORD [To THE FOUNTAINHEAD]:
SOME MEN raise monuments of stone and steel to the glory of their civilization; some pile brick on brick to glorify clients who pay the bill; but architect Howard Roark reared buildings simply to satisfy himself. The source of his genius as the mainspring of his creative energy was his dynamic self-confidence, which becomes the central theme in THE FOUNTAINHEAD, a long, action-filled novel of our times.
Some people understood Howard Roark, among them Dominique Francon, whose love for him involves them in a thunderous romance. Others who understood him, like Ellsworth M. Toohey, the columnist, or Gail Wynand, the tycoon publisher, are impelled to betray him. Some who benefit by his talent, such as his fellow-architect, Peter Keating, seek to destroy him.
Set against a background of the profession of architecture in a city of skyscrapers, THE FOUNTAINHEAD portrays the struggle of a creative worker to maintain his artistic integrity in the face of those who fear and hate the genius of the individual.
Abridged from the Book in the Author's Own Words. Published by THE BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY at $3.00.
