message 1: by Srynerson (new) - added it

Srynerson | 123 comments The GR entry for the 1961 edition of "The Wit and Wisdom of Congress" (no ISBN) lists the author as "Boykin". The full name is "Edward Boykin" and he should be described as "Editor". Boykin's first name is verified from both my own copy and the Amazon and WorldCat entries for the book. As to his role in creating the book, Amazon and WorldCat identify Boykin as "author" of the book, but the actual physical book says, "Edited by Edward Boykin" on both the cover and title page. I can make arrangements to get a scan of the book if necessary for verification of the latter point.

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments Updated. As there was only this book under Boykin I just merged that author into the correct one.

If you are able to provide a photo or scan, I can then add that as a cover.
