Illustrations. Index. Signed on Vice President of the United States bookplate on fep. Below this is a gift inscription not from Bush referencing campaign help. George Herbert Walker Bush June 12 1924 - November 30 2018 was an American politician and businessman who served as the 41st president of the United States from 1989 to 1993. A member of the Republican Party Bush also served as the 43rd vice president from 1981 to 1989 in the U.S. House of Representatives as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and as Director of Central Intelligence. Bush served in the navy during World War II. After the war he graduated from Yale and moved to Texas where he built a successful oil company. He won election to the 7th congressional district in 1966. President Nixon appointed Bush Ambassador to the United Nations in 1971 and as chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1973. In 1974 President Gerald Ford appointed him as the Chief of the Liaison Office to the People's Republic of China and in 1976 Bush became the Director of Central Intelligence. Bush was elected vice president in 1980 and 1984 as Reagan's running mate. In the 1988 presidential election Bush defeated Democrat Michael Dukakis becoming the first incumbent vice president to be elected president since Martin Van Buren in 1836. Bush navigated the final years of the Cold War and played a key role in the reunification of Germany. Bush presided over the invasion of Panama and the Gulf War ending the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait in the latter conflict. Publishers Weekly described this book as an early salvo in the vice-president's campaign for the White House in 1988. It describe it as a standard candidate's biography but livelier than others because Bush has held such a variety of important positions. As a young man from Connecticut and a former Navy pilot in World War II he went to Texas and made a fortune in the oil fields. After serving in the House of Representatives and two failed attempts at the U.S. Senate he served as U.S. representative to the United Nations chairman of the Republican National Committee steering the party through the Watergate scandal envoy to China in the last years of Chairman Mao and head of the CIA. Bush writes about his seven years as vice-president stressing his belief that the prime requisite of the number-two spot is loyalty and concludes by emphasizing his political conservatism. Victor "Vic" Gold September 25 1928 - June 5 2017 was an American journalist author and Republican political consultant. Gold began his career as a lawyer and advisor to the Democratic Party in Alabama before switching to the Republican Party. He worked as deputy press secretary for Senator Barry Goldwater during the 1964 presidential election and press secretary for Vice President Spiro T. Agnew from 1970 to 1973. Gold left politics for a time to work as a writer and political commentator returning in 1979 as a speechwriter to the presidential campaign of George H. W. Bush and was an advisor to Bush's 1988 and 1992 campaigns. He was the author of several published works of non-fiction. He co-wrote George H. W. Bush's 1987 autobiography and co-wrote a novel in 1988 with Lynne Cheney. Doubleday hardcover

19290001973CHICAGO ILLINOIS IL. Good. 1929. On offer is a fascinating original manuscript Depression Era 5 year diary handwritten by a girl named June b. November 6 1909 whose surname is likely either Hluegner or Kandles as she has mention two Grandmothers with those names. June is a sad girl lonely for friendship even while a member of a sorority and it seems her happiness depends on her self image and body weight: 'Went to sorority. They all talk about their fellows. Oh lord! A perfect body!' Her sadness is also reflected in her nostalgia for a few moments of happiness in her past: 'in 1927 two years before this time I was seeing David Filerman. Wonder what he's doing now.' Home life is difficult too: 'Chas and Yi came over after Church. Dad certainly is unscientific. He's right. The world's crazy. Such a tirade of abuse I never heard. Too glad to go to Helen's.' She has one older sister Ruth who is 25 in 1929 and doesn't get along with her. Ruth seems to get all the guys eventually to get married in 1933. June is interested in gardening studies botany and music. Her basic premise is to find love marriage and to lose weight. In these 5 years she achieves nothing in that regard although she learns to drive a car on July 5 1929. June wonders Feb. 20 1930 "why I shouldn't act like other girls Why keep myself clean No fun like others." June is in turmoil about being able to go to college primarily The Principia A School and College for Christian Scientists to which she was accepted July 8 1929 but her attendance seems delayed due to financial difficulties. She does begin to attend in 1932 and also joins the school Glee Club. Besides attending school June works in an office. June does not have an aptitude for studies i.e. October 20 1931 E-French D-European History C-Geology and English and B-Botany. Every so often June laments the fact that she has no boyfriend no money nothing! She does not get along with her father but loves him dearly. Sometimes there's a reprieve and they have a lovely time together. June loves her mother though her mother has expectations of June i.e. her mother would have a fit if she learned she gained 10 lbs. She hates Chicago and often mentions taking grandparents and going shopping in Chicago. She might be living on the outskirts because one entry observes July 20 1931 that the grain is all cut and stacked. This Depression era diary notes on May 11 1930 "most of the furniture gone from the house couldn't give mother anything for Mother's Day". On March 9 1931 "not much food in the house but will manage - so hungry and cold". Then later that year March 26 the family receives a check for $8870.44 and they in turn are very happy. Some miscellaneous observations include: March 4 1933 President Roosevelt elected and March 8 1933 "House meeting on Death" and May 30 1933 "went to Art Institute and saw period rooms and painting exhibit" and June 22 1933 "Went to World's Fair - Marvellous". The approximately 395 page book is well filled and for researchers and historians of Chicago area Depression Era or women's studies will be hard pressed to find a more interesting peek into the world of this young woman.

193938110Paris: Les presses de l'Hôtel de Sagonne / Société des Bibliophiles Les Plaquettes 1939. First and only edition. THE EXTRAORDINARILY RARE FIRST PUBLICATION of a grand total of two OF THE SOCIETE DE BIBLIOPHILES "LES PLAQUETTES" AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF FRENCH PRE-WAR FINE AVANT-GARDE TYPOGRAPHIC PRINTING. 2 blank leaves; 27 pp. This bibliophile society was conceived by Gaston-Louis Vuitton in 1929 and by 1932 it had 57 members but hadn't yet published anything. In that year it lost all of its funds when its bank went belly up. The Society got rolling again in 1938 and finally printed this gorgeous book in 1939. The text of course is about booklets and their history in France and in the world. Shortly after this book was printed World War II and the German Occupation put a final end to this Bibliophile Society: its only other publication was an equally rare edition of St Francis' "Cantique du soleil" printed in 1943. Fleuret died in 1945. Notable avant-garde typographical design on cover. Edition limited to 111 numbered copies but much rarer as few if any copies were ever actually distributed to the members of the Société beautifully printed with huge margins on fine Montval laid paper. Folio. Publisher's wraps. UNCUT AND UNOPENED FINE AND BRIGHT LIKE NEW WITH NO DEFECTS. Original paper knife laid in. An incredible survival even more so in such pristine condition.

192919326Berlin: Volksbünen-Verlags- und Vertriebs-G.m.b.H. 1929. Softcover. vg. 8vo. 100pp. Maroon cloth spine over green wraps with red lettering. Sunning to top edge of front- and rear wraps. Translated from the English into German by Hermynia zur Mühlen. "Bearbeitung Lieder: Günther Weisenborn." The News Playwrights' Theatre production of "Hoboken Blues" in 1928 was a bold experiment that failed with audiences and critics because it appeared to be racist although the playwright wrote it to expose the injustice done to African-Americans. Michael Gold wanted African-Americans to play the parts but director E. Massey cast white actors wearing black make-up. Fascinating piece of American Theatre history. Mimeographed typescript. Wraps in very good interior in near fine condition. Rare German edition. Volksbünen-Verlags- und Vertriebs-G.m.b.H. unknown
