191923035New York: Boni and Liveright. Very Good. 1919. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket dust-soiling to top edge of text block otherwise just a lightly worn copy with the tiniest touch of fraying to cloth at base of spine; attractive vintage bookplate "Ex Libris - Nell A. Shedd" on front pastedown. The subtitle pretty much says it all: the book covers its protagonist's entire experience in the Great War from enlistment through being shot down in combat and his period of recovery in a French hospital. The author gave her flyboy hero a fictional name of course "Richard Byrd" no relation to the well-known polar aviator and later Rear Admiral but there are plenty of specific and theoretically verifiable details of his exploits: the date on which he was shot down in combat is given as June 18 1916; he is referred to as "the first American aviator to be severely wounded--for France"; and he's awarded the Croix de Guerre. Would the author really have lied about the latter On top of which there were only a few dozen Americans who flew for the Lafayette Escadrille not all of whom survived the war so unless the author is falsifying the entire underlying premise of her book then theoretically it ought to be possible to research the identity of this fellow's real-life counterpart. But I'll leave that to you. . Boni and Liveright hardcover books

"Barbara Ann wants more than anything to travel with her school friends on a three week tour of Colorado the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone Park but her hopes are dashed when her mother informs her that money is too tight. Mr. Wilson's architectural firm has lost most of its recent contracts to a new rival firm Howard and Johnston. Barbara Ann will not be able to go on the school trip unless her father lands the contract for the new school auditorium. Barbara Ann learns that in all of the instances in which Mr. Wilson lost a contract Howard and Johnston submitted nearly identical plans with only a few minor changes and with a lower estimate. Barbara Ann smells a rat and is determined to find out how the rival company is copying Mr. Wilson's plans. Barbara Ann's determination is fueled by her desire to go on the school trip. Barbara Ann's one clue is a pipe with a nicked edge but at first she fails to recognize the significance of her discovery. Barbara Ann investigates a strange light in her father's office late at night and later she conducts a dangerous search in the rival company's offices. Barbara Ann's impetuousness lands her in grave danger and she must rely on more than just luck to get her out of trouble. Grosset & Dunlap hardcover books
