Nabokov, considered today one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, wrote this, his second novel, in Russian in 1928 while living in Berlin.

There is a twist in the plot at the end. Written using his pen name, V. Sirin, the book was republished in an English translation by Nabokov's son, Dimitri, in 1968.

Description:
London: Thames & Hudson, Inc., 1957. First Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Good. Hungarian Imre Nagy was first of all a Communist. He was also an idealist and a patriot. After a career in the Russian Communist Party in World War II, he returned to his native Hungary and became Minister of Agriculture and a leader of the Hungarian Communist Party. He became Prime Minister of Hungary in July 1953 and to the fury of the USSR, criticized Russian Communism as "static" when it needed to change with the changing post war times. Nagy introduced a set of liberalized policies for Hungarian Communism which he called the "New Course." Out of favor with the Soviets, Nagy was deprived of all party posts and in April, 1955, sacked as Hungarian prime minister. At that time, he began work on this book to explain his "new course." He became prime minister by popular demand in October, 1956, during the Hungarian Revolution. As Prime Minisiter, he moved to withdraw the country from the…

New York: Forge/Tom Doherty Associates, LLC, 1996. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. The second novel in this mystery series created by Ron Nessen, former presidential press secretary, and Johanna Neuman, "USA Today" editor and White House correspondent, who are real-life husband and wife. The series features a husband-and-wife team of Jerry Knight, right wing radio talk show host, and Jane Day, opinionated left-leaning reporter, this time investigating the murder of a well-known journalist at a White House dinner. The journalist had been tracking down an incendiary Vietnam War memorandum, making this something of a bibliomystery as well as a political thriller. Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket appears unread and without significant flaws, no tears, no creases or chipping, not price-clipped. A collectable copy.

Description:
New York: Henry Holt, 1987. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. This is a book, controversial for its vividly depicted violence, that uses violence and atrocities in Vietnam to throw a spotlight on violence in America. It is the story of two American soldiers from the same unit in Vietnam who return home -- one to try to deal with his PTSD, the other to continue to kill. The LA Times called it "a brutal and scarifying book," and Nichols, himself, the author of "The Sterile Cuckoo" and "The Milagro Beanfield War," has said of "American Blood," "It's been on film option but I hope they never make the movie." Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket has a 1 1/2", closed tear on the fold on the back panel, and the top edge of the front panel shows a light, almost un-noticeable "sun line," o/w no significant flaws, no creasing, no chipping, not price-clipped.

Description:
Syracuse, NY: C.W. Bardeen, Publisher, 1893. Hardcover. Good Plus/Issued Without Jacket. A manual containing a multitude of facts about 1890s government at all levels in New York State. Its purpose was to provide a basic reference for each classroom on questions such as: What is a city? What officers does a city have, and how much are they paid? What are the duties of a town clerk? A game officer? A coroner? Keeping in mind these are questions asked and answered for New York State in 1893, and that population sizes, legislative districts, officials' names have changed, this remains a fascinating little volume. Much of the information here would change with each election so the number of editions has less meaning than the year of publication. This copy is about 120 years old. About 5 x 7 inches, 214 pages plus 14 pages of publisher's ads. Black cloth-covered boards with beveled edges and gold lettering on spine. Includes an index.
