1880005405Philadelphia: Hubbard Bros. 1880. First Edition. . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. This biography of President Garfield represents a publishing puzzle: According to Brisbin's biographer Benjamin Foster Brisbin published his Garfield biography with the title "From the Towpath to the White House a Biography of James Garfield" in 1880 in Philadelphia and also in 1880 in Hartford as "The Early Life and Public Career of James A. Garfield." In 1881 following Garfield's assassination Hubbard Bros. the Philadelphia publisher re-issued the book with additional material under the name William Ralson Balch an editor and journalist who had covered Garfield's political career and assassination. However the new edition did not mention Brisbin as author Balch being credited as sole author a stance he maintained throughout his life though according to Foster his claim was denied by the Library of Congress. Subsequently our copy of the book was issued titled on the spine "Life and Public Services of General Jas. A. Garfield" and "Balch" alone as author. The book's title page has the title as "The Life and Public Career of Gen. James A. Garfield" with Brisbin as author of Garfield's rise from obscurity to Union Army general and then to the presidency and then "together" with a full account of his election to the presidency through to his assassination written by William Ralson Balch. The copyright is still 1880 though Garfield's death was in July1881 and a brief "To The Reader" note by Balch stating the events surrounding Garfield's death "has been gleaned from the newspapers necessarily with some haste." So the question of authorship of this edition of the book which can be characterized as a First Edition Thus remains an open question. 681 pages 5 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches green cloth-covered boards with a black stamped border and Garfield's signature in gilt on the front cover and gilt lettering and black decoration on the spine. 28 black & white illustrations including the frontispiece. Boards and spine show very moderate surface and edge wear. Binding is tight hinges intact. Text edges somewhat soiled and end pages and first few pages front and back of text show light foxing o/w text is clean complete and unmarked. Protective frontispiece tissue remains in place. A very scarce biography with a history of its own. <br/> <br/> Hubbard Bros. hardcover

First Edition First Printing. <br /><br />12mo 7 3/8 x 4 3/4 inches; 185 x 120 mm 247 3 pages gray quarter cloth over black boards in an unclipped photo-illustrated dust jacket hard cover.<p>Communist agent arrives in the U.S. to persuade a scientist to defect to the Soviet Union. He also gets involved with some American women who suspect he's up to no good. As far as Cold War fiction goes it's not bad at all. Published during the McCarthy era this book actually goes easy on the lurid anti-Red hysteria of so much Cold War fiction. The author Stanley Baron worked as a political analyst for the U.S. government so presumably had a keen insight into the psychology and motivations of Communist agents and fellow-travellers.<br /></p><p>CONDITION: Near Fine in a bright Near Fine dust jacket that has a bit of rubbing and a couple of nicks. The flap edges are slightly trimmed but the $1.50 price remains intact on the front flap. </p><p>An attractive copy of a Ballantine hardcover.

1995029909Salt Lake City Utah: Northwest Publishing Inc. NPI 1995. INSCRIBED / SIGNED directly on the front free endpaper by BOTH the AUTHOR Jack Atchison and the SUBJECT Charlie Keating. New in a New dust jacket. NO chips tears creases rubbing or fading to the book or jacket. NOT price clipped $27.95. Bright and shiny. Square and tight. Sharp corners. Pages are fresh crisp clean and unmarked -- obviously never read. Bound in the original silver-stamped gray cloth. Complete with dust jacket. The jacket is protected by a removable Brodart clear-plastic sleeve which is mildly rubbed. About the book: "In the late 1980s Atchison was a managing partner at what was then the Arthur Young & Co. accounting firm. He directed the audit of Charles Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan and was responsible for giving it a clean bill of health. Shortly thereafter Atchison was handed a top executive post with an annual salary of almost $1 million at American Continental Lincoln's parent company. At congressional hearings on the Lincoln S & L debacle Atchison refused to testify pleading the Fifth Amendment. Here Atchison tries to salvage his own reputation; he also disturbingly exploits current anti-Washington sentiment that turns government into the villain and wrongdoers into victims. His tone throughout is belligerently defiant; he portrays Keating as under siege from a hostile enemy. As Atchison tells it Keating was 'extorted' by overzealous vindictive regulators who regularly leaked confidential documents about their investigation because Keating dared to stand up to them." From Wikipedia: "In the 1980s Keating ran American Continental Corporation and the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association and took advantage of loosened restrictions on banking investments. His enterprises began to suffer financial problems and were investigated by federal regulators. His financial contributions to and requests for regulatory intervention from five sitting U.S. senators led to those legislators being dubbed the 'Keating Five.' When Lincoln failed in 1989 it cost the federal government over $3 billion and about 23000 customers were left with worthless bonds. In the early 1990s Keating was convicted in both federal and state courts of many counts of fraud racketeering and conspiracy. He served four and a half years in prison before those convictions were overturned in 1996. In 1999 he pleaded guilty to a more limited set of wire fraud and bankruptcy fraud counts and was sentenced to the time he had already served. Keating spent his final years in low-profile real estate activities until his death in 2014.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket.
