New York: Random House. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. (c.1954). Fireside BCE. Hardcover. [slight bump to upper rear corner, minor dust-soiling to top of text block, one-time owner's name and address (screenwriter Mel Shavelson) neatly printed on front pastedown; jacket typically browned at spine, short tear at lower front foldover with short diagonal crease at lower right corner of front panel]. (two B&W photographs) Based on Bissell's novel "7-1/2 Cents," about a labor dispute in a New England factory; basis for the 1957 film of the same name (co-directed by Abbott and Stanley Donen). [This edition lacks a printing statement, but seems to be one of the earliest Fireside Theatre Book Club printings, quite possibly the first thus of this title, as the rear jacket panel contains testimonials from Gertrude Lawrence, Katharine Cornell, Noel Coward, and others, lauding the "proposed plan" for the Fireside Theatre as "an excellent idea."] .

"Written out of deep understanding and with the authority of over 13 years first-hand knowledge of the situation in East Asia, this book by the famous New York Times correspondent is hugely informing and definitely exciting. [The author] knows personally and intimately the leaders of both countries in the Chinese-Japanese conflict and here presents his personal -- and factual -- account of their objectives, their methods and the conditions which now obtain in China as a result of their strategies."

[moderate shelfwear, light fading to cloth at edges, light discoloration in gutters; jacket a little edgeworn, spine is browned with some minor staining, a few tiny nicks here and there]. The author, a native of Dunlap, Kansas, and a then-resident of Lyons, Kansas (about 110 miles to the west, in case you were wondering), novelizes his experience at military school -- by all accounts the sort of thing you never quite get over, although it doesn't necessarily obligate you to write a book about it -- to present a "vivid and authentic account of .... the hazing, the maneuvers, the sports, the youthful rebellion, and all the other countless facets of cadet life." Like many vanity-romans-a-clef, the author effectively anonymizes the actual locations of the action -- his protagonist hails from "Centerville" (but the description of the town doesn't match Centerville,… Read More

Mass Market PB The title kinda says it all, doesn't it? Notable as one of the few books in Dell's famous "mapback" series that doesn't have a map on the back cover -- which suggests to me that when it came to figuring out how to achieve happiness in marriage, the publishers were as lost as the rest of us. .

New York-set mystery novel about a movie actress who sees a creepy disembodied arm and hand reaching out from under her bed one night, and spends the rest of the novel (with the help of many other characters) trying to figure out what the heck it was -- spook, burglar, figment of her imagination? By some definitions this could be considered a "Hollywood novel," insofar as it takes place partially against a film studio background -- the studio in question, the "Superfilm Company," being located in Astoria, N.Y. -- and is peopled with standard-issue stock characters of the genre: the egotistical and sexually aggressive director, the jealous star actress, the young… Read More

(B&W photographs) The third (and most uncommon) book by this Colombian-born photographer presents "an extraordinary collection of images of the women of flamenco," shot by Afanador "under the bright sunlight and set against the austere landscape and incandescent walls of Andalusia in Southern Spain. Under improbably and often chaotic circumstances in this remote and rural milieu, Afanador, together with the women and his troop of inspired collaborators, created an intricate choreography of poses and gestures that embodies the passionate song and dance of flamenco and intimates its origins and fusion of cultures that have pervaded the Iberian peninsula for centuries." The photographs are prefaced by a group of short "love letters" from various well-known ladies from the world of fashion:… Read More

This is their story, and the story of Norman, Eileen's husband, married just a few weeks before he was shipped out to Africa, to lose both hands, win the Military Medal and fall in love with his courageous young nurse. It is the story of Gerry, for whom Blackie was not glamorous enough; of John, who was lonely, but who could not face what the company psychiatrist discovered about him."

"Women's fiction" with a vengeance, depicting a day in the life of a 35-year-old matron: "A sick servant, an unworldly husband, a querulous, rich uncle, the incessant demands of her children, the funeral of a friend, the importunities of a would-be lover -- these are some of the things that Mary Strong must deal with between bed and bed." (A good thing her name is Strong, I'd say.) The author, a Chicago native, was primarily a writer of children's poetry and juvenile fiction; this seems to have been her first novel for an adult audience, and it was followed the next year by another piece of women's fiction, "All the Year… Read More
