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

196647472New York: New York Sunday News News Syndicate 1966. 1966. VIETNAM. 21 1/2" x 13" color news map done by staff artist Edwin I. Sundberg. "This color map of Vietnam and surrounding countries first appeared in The New York Sunday News Colorado Magazine Jan. 16 1966. This reprint is being made available through arrangements with.REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM - REGIONAL EXCHANGE SYSTEM and THE ARMY AND AIR FORCE EXCHANGE SERVICE. PACEX." Most likely distributed to military personnel in the field the map extends from the Gulf of Siam and the South China Sea in the south to Communist China in the north. The U.S. Seventh Fleet appears just off the Eastern shore of Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh Trail extends from North Vietnam through Laos and into South Vietnam with spurs directed at Danang where the first American combat troops landed in 1965 the Do Xa Zone Kontum Pleiku and Cambodia. Railroads extend from the top of the map to the bottom . reaching into Thailand Cambodia and Communist China. Communist Shipping Lanes from China lead to North Vietnam. The legend identifies symbols for shared U.S.-South Vietnam bases; Major Red Zones; Main Roads; Railroads and Capitals. The text at the bottom of the map reads "Just as an infected ingrown toenail is a source of intense pain to the whole body so does the war in Viet Nam affect the whole world. Yet knowledge about this agonizing trouble spot of Viet Nam whose very name frequently invokes the strongest feelings . both pro and con . in this land of ours is more than likely to be sketchy and confusing to the civilian here at home. With this map of Viet Nam and its neighbors the Colorado Magazine hopes to shed some light geographically at least on this far-off region where United States servicemen as well as the Vietnamese are fighting . and dying . in increasing numbers. Our aim is not only to provide an up-to-date map with the new spellings of place names but more importantly to furnish a guide to the war areas . including military bases and air fields supply routes and Communist-dominated zones . so the reader can follow more clearly the ebb and flow of the conflict. The Ho Chi Minh Trail is North Viet Nam's shadowy camouflaged ever-changing yet very real supply line . typical of a guerilla-type operation . along which it sends men and equipment into the heart of South View Nam. The antagonists in this escalating war are South Viet Nam's government forces U.S. South Korea Australia New Zealand and Philippines combat units plus non-combat aid from 30 nations on the one side and the Viet Cong guerillas South Viet Nam Communist rebels and North Viet Nam Viet Minh troopers on the other." Faint fold lines and one small tear to bottom edge of lower fold crease. Attractive and suitable for framing. New York Sunday News, News Syndicate, 1966. unknown
