More archival rejections reveal that our Miss Horlbeck left behind a scrapbook of 138 rejections letters received between 1933 and 1937. Ladies and Germs, she was the foremother of this very blog. We have found our LROD leader.

That. Is extraordinary.
Apparently she received nothing but rejections---OCLC WorldCat has no citation for a Mary Horlbeck, and none for any Horlbeck at all (in English, at least) between 1930-1940. (Of course she could've used a pseudonym or allonym, or simply remained anonymous.) But maybe it's not too late---I'd say a scrapbook as unique as that might be worth submitting to an agent as a candidate for a facsimile reproduction. Taschen, as a potential publisher, comes immediately to mind.
