First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good +. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. A Handful of Stars by Ray House was published by Touchstone Publishing Company in 1970. Not an ex-library copy, this 315-page, approximately 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", Signed First Edition is in VG+/G condition. The book, for its 41 years, is practically like new, save for some very modest yellowing of its endpapers front and back as well as the pages of text, and some barely noticeable shelf wear at top and bottom edges of volume's spine. The dust jacket, perhaps from doing such an admirable job of housing its book, shows a bit more wear. It was necessary to clear tape in 5-6 random spots, mainly to repair/keep from worsening small tears. Fairly modest shelf wear is seen at top and bottom edges of jacket's spine, as well as at the four edges where front and back inside flaps actually make their inward folds. Other than that, this is a really nice jacket, newer in appearance than its age suggests. The book is SIGNED by its author in the central portion of the front loose end page. From back inside jacket flap, "A Handful of Stars is the story of Appalachia--its people, their feuds, their poverty, their pride, their family loyalty, their pitifully strip-mined land, their sense of history, their folkways and superstitions. More importantly, it is the story of a young man from the hills who discovers himself while reconstructing his past." I don't know about you, Reader, but I sense the presence of a bit of a "coming-of-age" saga, thinly disguised as a fictional story, in novel form. The author notes, in his Foreword, "Five years, off and on, went into the research and writing of this story, which is fiction based on present fact and history." Our protagonist, Jesse Tolliver, may well be the author. At any rate, if you are a resident, present or past, of that storied region of America that is Appalachia, or one who is drawn to stories that take place in an area so rich in so many ways, but poor in too many others, this offering may well be worth exploring. Thank you very much!!. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Hardcover, Folio, numbered signed limited edition--#2342 of 5000. 299 pp. Crushed red velvet boards with brass clasp. Watercolor illustrations. "According to Pauline Tabor, madams are made, not born. And as her memoirs of four decades as a bawdy house operator reveal, Pauline knew exactly what she is talking about. It was as a divorced mother of two young sons-a respectable matron of Bowling Green, Kentucky, who was struggling to make a living during the Depression years by selling hosiery and cosmetics form door to door-that Pauline decided to open a house of prostitution in her home town. Never having been inside such a house, and never having known a prostitute, Pauline spent a hectic weekend in a notorious Tennessee brothel, learning the secrets of the profession of a madam. Bolstered by this 'basic training,' she returned to Bowling Green, opened the town's finest house of ill fame, and started a long and colorful career as the madam of bordellos in Bowling Green, Louisville, and Indiana. Her most notorious house, at 627 Clay St in Bowling Green, was famous for more than 25 years as a plush palace of pleasure, providing all manner of gracious loving for well-heeled customers from all parts of the nation. Pauline's memoirs provide one of literature's most intimate revelations of what goes on behind the walls of a whorehouse. As a retired brothel-keeper, Pauline frankly discusses her lifetime in the illicit sex business. CONTENTS: What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this? * The making of a madam * A madam builds a dream house * Girls, girls, girls! * The 'tricks' * The big-time spenders * The law.and the outlaws * Special friends-and enemies * Christmas in a whorehouse * A 'moonlighting' madam * A madam looks at sex in our society * the closing of the house on Clay St * 'Studio portrait' of Pauline Tabor."
