Just ran across this and thought it was worth sharing. Marquis Who’s Who has just published its 2009 edition of Who’s Who in America®, marking 110 years since its first publication in 1899. To commemorate this milestone, the publisher has decided to look back in its own history to include items of historical significance in this commemorative edition. This historical retrospective, appearing as a 16-page color section in the front of the new edition, includes: published cartoons and advertisements featuring Who’s Who in America® such as Doonesbury, Beetle Bailey, and a Cuban cigar advertisement from 1955; quotes about the book from such famous Americans as Mae West; a letter to the editor from former President Harry Truman, as well as one from magician Harry Houdini; and editorial reviews of the first edition from 1899. Also included are biographies of interesting, one-time listees William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, explorer Hiram Bingham, and the author of The King and I, Anna Leonowens. Marquis Who's Who CEO is James Pfister.
