This was exactly the book about the Algonquin Round Table that I wanted, and didn't find with [b:The Vicious Circle The Story of the Algonquin Round Table|7549918|The Vicious Circle The Story of the Algonquin Round Table|Margaret Chase Harriman|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg|9843140].
Wit's End is full of photos, pictures, and other visual aids. Gaines actually takes the time to go into depth about who each of the main members were, and what they wrote and did. He makes some mention of what efforts were successful at the time, though now forgotten, and which remain as important works.
My one critique is that Gaines has some pretty strong opinions about many of the members, and his biases do definitely come across. On the whole, however, this is an excellent resource and an engrossing read.
