The TIME covers on this page* are only a few of the 1,596 that have appeared since the first issue of TIME was published in 1923. Many of you have followed the news of those thirty years with TIME--and what years they have been!
Now, on our thirtieth anniversary, the editors of TIME have produced a book called Live Them Again, a "quiz book and memory jogger" covering the years 1923-1953. It has just been published by Simon & Schuster in a paperbound edition (price: $1).
Says the New York Times Book Review: "Ultrasophisticated ... a lot of good reading and good fun . . . TIME'S quizmasters know that a good question is one that is neither hard nor easy but that makes reader and friends want to look up the answer. Their book does just that . . . It is as pleasant as opening up a boyhood drawer in an old family chest to come across such joggers ... as these: the depression phrase, 'We'll let you know if anything turns up'; the Chicago newspaper ad, 'Bullet holes rewoven perfectly' . . . and the Japanese battle cry, 'Go to hell, Babe Ruth--American, you die.' " Simon & Schuster, old hands at publishing quiz books, have this to say: "Live Them Again is a parlor game matching the fiendish delights of crossword puzzles, Ask Me Another and Twenty Questions. Do you know, for instance, who inspired the quip, 'There but for the grace of God goes God?' Who started network on-the-field play-by-play broadcasting? Who was Herbert Hoover's running mate in 1932--described by H. L. Mencken as 'half Indian and half windmill'?"
Do you know?
