Mitchell, Joseph.

The Bottom of the Harbor.

Boston: Little Brown and Company. , 1951.

Octavo, 243 pages. With a dust jacket design by Saul Steinberg. First edition. The third book by the great New Yorker writer, a classic study of New York's fish markets, with an emphasis on the bounty of the bottom of the harbor, oysters. A source for Mark Kurlansky's The Big Oyster. A personal favorite.
