Petty & Grand Books In 1957

From a 1957 Good Housekeeping, a 'picks and pans' on books:

Francoise Sagan, poor dear, had two of her three books panned. Thus she is the “petty” in the Petty and Grand.

But Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged was “grand”.

She even had her photo included in the feature.

Another excellent CQ post on the context of magazines and pop culture. Read it.
