Tomorrow in the Making is a 1939 hardcover essay collection edited by Andrews and Marsden, published by Whittlesey House — a division of McGraw-Hill Book Company — and printed by Maple Press Co. of York, Pennsylvania. The volume gathers perspectives from a remarkable cross-section of prominent American and international voices on the eve of World War II, addressing the urgent political, social, and economic questions of the late Depression era.
The contributor list visible on the copyright spread includes figures of significant historical note: Norman Thomas (Socialist Party leader), Earl Browder (Secretary of the Communist Party of the United States), Walter Rautenstrauch (Columbia University), Jacob Baker (Chairman of the President's Committee on Cooperative Enterprises in Europe), Samuel Seabury (Counsel, Committee 1931), and multiple New York University academics and public intellectuals. This contributor roster alone makes the volume an unusually rich primary source document for students of 1930s American political history, labor history, and the ideological debates of the interwar period.
The front endpaper bears the signature "R. Louis Joseph" in blue ink — a previous owner inscription adding a personal provenance thread to this already historically layered volume.
The charcoal gray cloth binding shows surface dust and soiling consistent with 85+ years of age, including a visible streak of white residue across the top cover. Pages and binding are in good vintage condition with age toning to page edges. Binding holds firmly. No missing pages noted.
