1915A33752New York: Baker & Taylor Company. Very Good. 1915. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. This book is in Very Good condition and was possibly issued without a dust jacket. The book and its contents are in generally clean bright condition. The front cover of the book has some ground-in dirt and spotting / foxing. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some light bumping and rubbing. The text pages are clean and bright. "Among the Pacific Coast writers Mr. Leigh H. Irvine author of the Iron Highway.and others is attracting attention throughout the country by the strong and masterful manner in which he is placing the various labor and other problems before the people. It is often a fact that labor reformers and writers who address themselves to the wage-earner fail to make themselves understood." "Although some U. S. States began abolishing the death penalty most states held onto capital punishment. Some states made more crimes capital offenses especially for offenses committed by slaves. In 1838 in an effort to make the death penalty more palatable to the public some states began passing laws against mandatory death sentencing instead enacting discretionary death penalty statutes. The 1838 enactment of discretionary death penalty statutes in Tennessee and later in Alabama were seen as a great reform. This introduction of sentencing discretion in the capital process was perceived as a victory for abolitionists because prior to the enactment of these statutes all states mandated the death penalty for anyone convicted of a capital crime regardless of circumstances. With the exception of a small number of rarely committed crimes in a few jurisdictions all mandatory capital punishment laws had been abolished by 1963. Bohm 1999 " . Baker & Taylor Company hardcover

1971W1051Carbondale Illinois: Self Published 1971. 158 pages. Quite scarce-- WorldCat locates copies in only 12 libraries. The book is an exposé of the attempt to establish what the author perceived to be a CIA front group on the campus of Southern Illinois University. Protests against the Center in large part led to rioting that resulted in the cancellation of classes and the temporary closing of the SIU campus in may 1970. The book is profusely illustrated with photographs of people involved in the Center for Vietnamese Studies. The book is clean and tight with some minor smearing of lettering on the front cover. There are some tiny cuts in margins of half of the pages--apparently caused by the binding process--they are relatively unobtrusive. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good . 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
