Lippincott, for instance, believe that there is a good omen in the fact that Elizabeth Ann MacMurray of Dallas has sent them an enthusiastic wire after reading an advance copy of 'Mr. Adam,' by Pat Frank, which is being published on Sept. 11. Miss MacMurray was also the first bookseller to climb on the band wagon for 'The Egg and I'.
