Description:
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1936. First Edition. Small Quarto (9 3/8 x 6 1/4 inches; 237 x 160 mm), 445, [1] pages, gray cloth, in an unclipped, supplied dust jacket. INSCRIBED on the front end paper: "For Walter Lippmann / from / Granville Hicks." An interesting association here, as Walter Lippmann and John Reed were classmates at Harvard (1910) and embraced many of the same left-wing causes. In addition, Lippmann, a founder of The New Republic, published Reed's reporting on the Mexican Revolution. But their friendship broke down over American involvement in World War I, which Reed strongly opposed and Lippmann favored. In an exchange of letters in 1916, they criticized one another in the most bitter of terms, with Reed accusing Lippmann of abandoning his radical beliefs and Lippmann saying Reed was a dilettante and fake radical. They also clashed publicly. Hicks, a Marxist literary critic, has written a generally evenhanded biography of John Reed, known today largely for his book, "Ten Days… Read More

Description:
Council Bluffs, Iowa: The Yellow Barn Press, 2002. First Edition, First Printing. Small Quarto (9 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches; 247 x 162 mm), xii, [2] 127, [3] pages, in quarter-cloth and patterned boards, paper label to spine, in a patterned slipcase. One of only 150 copies, this is a biography of Elmo Elton Shaver (1916-1995), a Francophile and popular teacher of foreign languages. Elmo kept diaries documenting his life from tenth grade until just days before his death. Oliver Pollak, a lawyer and professor of history at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, has drawn from Elmo's diaries to paint a vivid picture of his life. We follow him growing up in Long Beach and his 1937 junior year at the Sorbonne in Paris. (That year had a profound influence on Elmo, and he was a frequent visitor during the rest of his life.) We also learn about his embrace of Christian Science, his distaste for the New Deal, his decades of teaching languages at Orange Coast College in California, and his attraction to men.
