Publisher's Synopsis
Max Miller was a lonely reporter on the waterfront beat for six years when he first started to pen small tales about his own life. That was more than 70 years ago, and while the country was in the depths of the Depression, I Cover the Waterfront made a quiet initial appearance. Neither the 28 year old author nor his publisher expected much from a series of simple strung-together real-life tales. But there was something about Miller's writing that created a kind of magic. It went on to sell millions of copies.
