At the time of its publication Jacques Maritain called Reveille for Radicals an "epoch-making" book and time has only reinforced the enduring importance of Alinsky's work. Based upon Alinsky's own experiences in Chicago's "Back of the Yards" district during the waning years of the Great Depression Reveille established a blueprint for community organizing that is still in use today. The book's influence along with its 1971 update Rules for Radicals on the current generation of American leaders including Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton has been much noted in fact Ms. Clinton's undergraduate thesis at Wellesley "An Analysis of the Alinsky Model" was an analysis and critique of Alinsky's community organizing methods.

Black cloth/boards; gilt lettering. White/red/yellow ochre dj with bw lettering. xxv 196 pp. with no illustrations. Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals is the last book published in 1971 by activist and writer Saul D. Alinsky shortly before his death. His goal for the Rules for Radicals was to create a guide for future community organizers to use in uniting low-income communities or "Have-Nots" in order for them to gain social political legal and economic power. Within it Alinsky compiled the lessons he had learned throughout his experiences of community organizing from 1939-1971 and targeted these lessons at the current new generation of radicals. Divided into ten chapters Rules for Radicals provides 10 lessons on how a community organizer can accomplish the goal of successfully uniting people into an active organization with the power to effect change on a variety of issues. Though targeted at community organization these chapters also touch on other issues that range from ethics education communication and symbol construction to nonviolence and political philosophy. Though published for the new generation of counterculture-era organizers in 1971 Alinsky's principles have been successfully applied by numerous government labor community and congregation-based organizations and the main themes of his organizational methods that were elucidated upon in Rules for Radicals have been recurring elements in political campaigns in recent years. Perhaps quite timely. Random House hardcover books

WALTER-FILM000197No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 11 x 14"" 28 x 35 cm. title lobby card USA Jean Seberg Richard Widmark Richard Todd John Gielgud dir Otto Preminger; United Artists. A truly spectacular presentation of Saul Bass' brilliant art. Preminger loved Bass' artistic interpretations of the films he directed and so Bass executed the campaign art for nearly all of the director's films starting in the mid 1950s. This is the story of Joan of Arc her leadership of the French Army against the British the many battles she wins and then being branded a witch once she is no longer needed. Jean Seberg at 18 was selected after a highly publicized contest to play the title character. The film was based on the George Bernard Shaw play with a great screenplay by Graham Greene. There is a 3/4"" 2 cm. tear at the left side upper border addressed with archival tape and a very minor crease at the top right corner VERY GOOD-FINE. unknown books

WALTER-FILM000192No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Le vieil homme et l'enfant Vintage original 26 x 35"" 66 x 90 cm. silkscreen art poster USA. Our friend poster collector and dealer Daniel Strebin provided this information: About a decade ago he received consignments of Saul Bass silkscreens from the Bass estate. He personally saw invoices for some of them which were printed around 1965. Most of the silkscreens were produced at Art Krebs Studio in Los Angeles. Bass continued to have silkscreens created up until around 1980. All of the silkscreen editions appear to have been in editions of between 50-150. It also seems that once an edition was exhausted Bass did not make a second edition; as a result all of these art silkscreens are very rare indeed. Bass never intended for these posters to be sold -- they were intended to be given away. Since he was frequently frustrated with the compromises the film studios inflicted on his magnificent modernist designs the silkscreens were intended to represent his imagery in its purest possible form. This was for the US release of a French film by Claude Berri about a young Jewish boy who goes to live with a Catholic couple in France during World War II. The husband Michel Simon who does not know his young charge is Jewish is in fact a virulent anti-Semite but comes to love the young man and outgrow his prejudices. The original US theatrical one sheet poster has a similar design but it is only printed in black with an obtrusive slogan at the top -- making this silkscreen infinitely more effective.
