H. L. Mencken stipulated that this memoir remain sealed in a vault for thirty-five years after his death. For good reason: My Life as Author and Editor is so telling and uproariously opinionated that it might have provoked a storm of libel suits. As he recounts his career as a critic, essayist, and editor of the ground-breaking magazine Smart Set, Mencken brings us face to face with the literary aristocracy of his day, from the dour womanizer Theodore Dreiser to F. Scott Fitzgerald, drowning his gifts in alcohol. Here, too, are the hacks, poseurs, and bohemian crackpots who flocked around them. Most of all, here is Mencken himself, defying censors and Prohibition agents with equal aplomb in an age when literature was a contact sport.Binding Type: Paperback

Stays EXACTLY in place!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Buying a 2nd one for the bathroom! Stays EXACTLY in place but easily slides on any surface to where ever you want it!! NOT like traditional paper towel holder that fall over when you pull the sheets apart!!! Great value! Convenient! Stable! Easy to install!

I love it
Color: White
It has taken a few weeks to get use to- learning how to pull it and when so the paper towels come off right. The suction cups are amazing. If you need to release it- I just slide a butter know gently und them and it un suctions. Hopefully it lasts a long time.

Very functional for our family - We ordered a second one
Color: Black
We were happy to stumble on this paper towel holder after trying a few that just either didn’t look great and didn’t work well. We really like the black matte finish and the fact that the base is pretty heavy so you can actually tear off a paper towel without the whole thing toppling over. The spray/cleaner is an added bonus to have right there also. It’s awesome for craft time and cleanup after kids.
We purchased one for both our kitchen table and our rental property and they both function great and have been holding up very well. Happy with the purchase!

Amazing - Buy it!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This item is so helpful! I am a home baker and practically live in my kitchen. So anything to help me clean quickly and efficiently is a MUST. The holder itself is sleek and super cute, the matte black matches my decor perfectly! Having the mini spray bottle you can fill and place directly in the holder makes everything so accessible! I don’t have to pull out cleaners, then paper towels, it’s all a one stop shop. Plus, super helpful to clean as you go! This item doesn’t take up lots of space either. I will definitely be checking out other items from this brand to organize the rest of my kitchen!

So Convenient!
Color: Black
This product is so convenient! I love the spray bottle attachment for easy clean up. It works great for kitchen counters or even to keep in the bathroom for quick clean ups. The color is so sleek and the quality is impressive and heavy duty. I highly recommend out of 10!
