194716593New York: Simon and Schuster A Venture Press Book. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1947. First Edition. Hardcover. modest shelfwear to top and bottom edges old gift inscription non-authorial on front pastedown; jacket has some shallow chipping along top edge split halfway up from bottom along front flapfold various small nicks and closed tears. The first book by this Georgia-born author who worked at various times as a social worker library assistant clerk-typist teacher advertising copywriter and book reviewer. She was later to gain a minor reputation as a mystery novelist with six novels and dozens of short stories mostly published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and similar digest pulps to her credit. Her entry in "Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers" notes the affinity and empathy she exhibited throughout her fiction to disadvantaged and socially isolated people particularly elderly women and ascribes it to her experiences as a social worker -- but from what's known of her life it seems like she could just as well have seen herself in that class as well. Critic Christopher Fowler writing in The Independent in 2014 sketched this portrait of her: "She read avidly stored books in her oven and would only eat in restaurants with linen napkins. She lived austerely took care of a sick mother travelled alone and liked teddy bears" -- also noting that she had "abandoned writing after becoming completely deaf and concentrated on charity work." This particular book which predates all her other published writing by about five years both stands apart from it and yet is all of a piece with it -- it's "unclassifiable" per the publisher's blurb "not a novel not a book of short stories. It contains 26 chapters each the autobiographical sketch of a human being as he or she tells his story is his own words to a case worker." The author provides only the briefest sociological overlay noting in a half-page introductory note that "the people in this book talk to someone called a case worker. Their confidence has been respected and they cannot be identified." Note that she all but removes herself from the equation too: although we learn from the author-bio jacket copy that the author "has been employed as a social worker since October 1939" she makes absolutely no attempt to position herself as the specific receptor for any of these narratives. The book just plunges straight ahead with its 26 tales of "love and hate and human dignity and of the anguish caused when minds and hearts and bodies go unfed." .

19541000471954. Attractive signed large color portrait of golfer Bobby Jones swinging his driver. Boldly inscribed by Bobby Jones "For Will Grimsley with best regards Bob Jones." Annotated below the portrait "Reproduced from a painting by Thomas E. Stephens and presented by ninety-nine members of the Augusta National Golf Club Augusta Georgia. Number 282 of a limited edition." In fine condition. Matted and framed the entire piece measures 33.5 inches by 29.5 inches. Robert T. Jones was an American golfer who was one of the most influential figures in the history of the sport. Jones founded and helped design the Augusta National Golf Club and co-founded the Masters Tournament. The innovations that he introduced at the Masters have been copied by virtually every professional golf tournament in the world. Jones was the most successful amateur golfer ever to compete at a national and international level. During his peak from 1923 to 1930 he dominated top-level amateur competition and competed very successfully against the world's best professional golfers. Jones often beat stars such as Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen the era's top pros. Jones earned his living mainly as a lawyer and competed in golf only as an amateur primarily on a part-time basis and chose to retire from competition at age 28 though he earned significant money from golf after that as an instructor and equipment designer. Explaining his decision to retire Jones said "It championship golf is something like a cage. First you are expected to get into it and then you are expected to stay there. But of course nobody can stay there." Jones is most famous for his unique "Grand Slam" consisting of his victory in all four major golf tournaments of his era the open and amateur championships in both the U.S. & the U.K. in a single calendar year 1930. In all Jones played in 31 majors winning 13 and placing among the top ten finishers 27 times. After retiring from competitive golf in 1930 Jones founded and helped design the Augusta National Golf Club soon afterwards in 1933. He also co-founded the Masters Tournament which has been annually staged by the club since 1934 except for 1943–45 when it was canceled due to World War II. The Masters evolved into one of golf's four major championships. Jones came out of retirement in 1934 to play in the Masters on an exhibition basis through 1948. Jones played his last round of golf at East Lake Golf Club his home course in Atlanta on August 18 1948. A picture commemorating the event now sits in the clubhouse at East Lake. Citing health reasons he quit golf permanently thereafter. unknown
