196116032London: Spring Books 1961. First edition first printing. Published by Spring Books in London 1961. Without the dust wrapper. This is a near fine copy. The boards are without notable wear aside from slight bumping and separation at the top and tail of the spine with very slight crumpling at the corners. The text blocks are free from foxing. The strength of this item lies in the inscriptions to half title verso. The inscription in royal blue ink reads: "For Bernard with affectionate appreciation of his valuable work for Peace News from: Vera Brittain Hugh Brock Geoffrey Tattersall Geoffrey Carnall J. Allen Skinner Arthur E. Fowler Ivan Geffen Harvey Christie Derek Sadler Alan Lovell. Each of the signees held various positions at Peace News the Pacifist Magazine first published in 1936 to serve the peace movement in the United Kingdom. Though affiliated with Peace News each signee also had their own background careers notably the writer Vera Brittain theatre pioneer Alan Lovell and trade unionist J. Allen Skinner. It is most likely inscribed to Bernard Boothroyd the fourth editor of Peace News. Overall this is a fine copy albeit without the dust wrapper of a fine set of inscriptions. Spring Books hardcover

12998Various locations mostly Phoenix AZ 1980. 24 leaves illustrated with twenty-three mounted photographs plus dozens of mounted ephemeral items including letters documents certificates newspaper clippings and more plus a folder laid in containing television prompt copies. Folio. Contemporary brown vinyl scrapbook string tied. Minor overall wear some old tape stains to most items some items apparently re-mounted likely by a later friend or family member. Overall very good. A wonderful scrapbook celebrating the professional career of Evelyn Lorraine Thompson 1948-2005 on-air reporter and news anchor for KOOL-CBS Radio and Television and KTVK-TV in Phoenix Arizona in the 1970s. Thompson worked for KOOL straight out of college after graduating from Boston University in 1972. She was hired as a writer-producer for morning newscasts then worked as a full-time news reporter. Unusual for the era Thompson also served as KOOL's weekend sports reporter. She later moved to KTVK-TV also in Phoenix where she worked as a news anchor. We could find no other information about Thompson following about 1980 except for her brief obituary in the Arizona Republic.<br /> <br /> The present scrapbook provides a valuable snapshot of Thompson's life and early career through a range of original photographs showing her as a child but with the majority showing her during her working years at KOOL and KTVK. The album also includes numerous letters to Thompson from a variety of correspondents thanking her for stories congratulating her for her positions at the news news releases and other documents announcing her personal appearances newspaper clippings when Thompson appeared in the paper either for a story or as the subject of a story and so forth. The scrapbook even includes the prompt copy of a speech given by her before sorority students at Northern Arizona University. For a deeper look at her life as a reporter or anchor a number of additional prompt copies of some of Thompson's stories are gathered in a manila envelope laid into the scrapbook. The scrapbook also includes award certificates most notably her award as one of the "Outstanding Young Women of America" in 1973. Altogether a unique assemblage of original materials documenting a trailblazing Black reporter and news anchor in the contemporary American West. unknown
