At 24:37 the book on the table is, "The Brooklyn Follies." But the one he's holding I can't make out. Did a scan of all his book covers I could find on Amazon & Ebay, no luck. Hope this helps.I know you want the other one, sorry.
Edgar Allan Poe did not write "The Raven," he merely claimed it in a kind of 19th-century "identity theft." The poem's premiere was submitted anonymously to "American Review" under the pseudonym "---- Quarles" by the true author, Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Poe, a critic for the New York "Evening Mirror," discovering the poem in an advance copy of "American Review," scooped Mathew in his own paper by two days. Mathew had shared a copy of "The Raven" with Poe in early 1842, so Poe had a handwritten copy in his possession. This enabled him to convince his editor that he had permission to scoop "American Review"--but he mysteriously left the "Mirror" shortly afterwards (suggesting that he may have been fired for lying about it). It is the height of absurdity that the editor of a newly-launched monthly literary magazine like the "Review," would have given a daily newspaper this permission. The real author was not in a position to reveal his identity because of his anti-slavery work and connection with the Underground Railroad, and hence could not publicly defend himself.

Amazing
What book is he reading from? The one with Poe's face on it, that is.

I always found Poe an American writer that I endured as a good American boy. As an adult I feel no great loyalty to Mr. Auster.
Not really about poe other than the easter eggs you shill in2 your own writing
