A number of years ago I had the good fortune of purchasing some books from the library of Alexander Donat's son. These copies were owned by Alexander Donat. He didn't write his name in them. I do have a few books that were inscribed to him or he wrote his name in, but I haven't listed them as yet. I imagine he owned these three because he contributed to all of them. In one of the Midstream Reviews he wrote a book review of 'Judenrat: The Jewish Councils In Eastern Europe Under Nazi Occupation.' He titled it 'Judge Not.' In the other he wrote 'A Letter to My Grandson.' In Commentary he wrote an essay titled 'Our Last Days In The Warsaw Ghetto'. Alexander Donat was 'a Holocaust survivor imprisoned at the Warsaw Ghetto and several Nazi concentration camps during the occupation of Poland by Nazi Germany in World War II. After the war, Donat, a chemist by training and journalist by profession, emigrated with his family to the United States, settling in New York City. As an eyewitness to the Holocaust in Poland, he went on to write about his wartime experiences, collect documents, and publish the narratives of others.' All three magazines are in solid shape. You can take a look at the photos. The Midstream Reviews have very little wear. Both are quite solidly bound. I didn't see any soiling on the pages. I didn't see any creasing. There are no markings. No attachments. And there isn't any writing of any kind in either one. Commentary is in solid shape as well. I'm not seeing any soiling on any of the pages. However they are fairly toned. There are also a group of late pages that have a light crease just off their top edge (not a placeholder crease). There are no markings or attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere.…

Store description
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
