AUDIO BOOKS Little by little, Kraft is recording his readings of every book in the Personal History. Check the Audio Books page. 
Illustration Credits The illustration at the top of the page is an adaptation of an illustration by Stewart Rouse that first appeared on the cover of the August 1931 issue of Modern Mechanics and Inventions. The boy at the controls of the aerocycle doesn’t particularly resemble Peter Leroy—except, perhaps, for the smile. |

Small Hotels 
A Special Invitation . . .
If you have ever stayed at Small’s, you know that occasionally we provide
entertainment in the lounge after dinner. Usually, it’s nothing much—sometimes
I play the piano, and now and then one guest may attempt to levitate another,
but this fall we have something special planned. The memoirist Peter Leroy
(who happens to be my husband), will read Dead Air, the latest installment
of his personal history, adventures, experiences, and observations, in
its entirety, over the course of fifty consecutive nights, finishing on
his fiftieth birthday. Each reading will be a self-contained episode,
so you can “get” any one of them without knowing any of the others.
(Of course, you would derive the greatest pleasure from them if you stayed
with us for fifty nights and heard them all. Inquire about our special
rates.)
