Biographical notes:

Guido Bruno was a writer, editor, and bookseller known for publishing a number of avant-garde works. Born in Bohemia and educated in several European cities, he emigrated to America in 1906 as a newspaper correspondent. He continued to work as a correspondent, drama critic, editorial writer, and war correspondent, before becoming the editor of numerous literary magazines. A bit of a self-promoter, he included his name in many of his publications, but helped authors such as Hart Crane and Djuna Barnes by publishing their early works. He owned a bookstore and gallery, and wrote controversial views on social issues such as birth control.
