Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition textured beige boards and beige spine with red spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Jimmy Carter; Author Dedication and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings and color jacket front painting by Amy Carter. "In a beautifully rendered portrait, Jimmy Carter remembers the Christmas days of his Plains boyhood - the simplicity of family and community gift-giving, his father's eggnog, the children's house decorations, the school Nativity pageant, the fireworks, Luke's story of the birth of Christ, and the poignancy of his black neighbors' poverty. Later, away at Annapolis, he always went home to Plains, and during his Navy years, when he and Rosalynn were raising their young family, they spent their Christmases together re-creating for their children the holiday festivities of their youth. Since the Carters returned home to Plains for good, they have always been there on Christmas day, with only one exception in forty-eight years: In 1980, with Americans held hostage in Iran, Jimmy, Rosalynn, and Amy went by themselves to Camp David, where they felt lonely. Amy suggested that they invite the White House staff and their families to join them and to celebrate. Nowadays the Carters' large family is still together at Christmastime, offering each other the gifts and the lifelong rituals that mark this day for them. With the novelist's eye that enchanted readers of his memoir An Hour Before Daylight, Jimmy Carter has written another American classic, in the tradition of Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory and Dylan Thomas's A Child's Christmas in Wales." - from the inner front jacket flap. Carter, Amy (illusttrations); Sasahara, Ellen R. (book design); Howard, Billy (author photograph) (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Fine condition photographic glossy softcover wraps. Includes Authors' Dedication; Foreword by Tom T. Hall, May 1989. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. Signed, dated (Feb. 1990) with thin black ink by Sybil Carter and Leon Johnson on the half title page. "Billy Carter was one of the most misunderstood and underrated people I have ever known. Billy will surely give readers a fascinating insight into his private life and his intriguing, sometimes tragic, always humorous escapades. How he transcended a near fatal conflict with alcoholism and a fatal bout with cancer to give new hope and life to so many admirers and critics was a personal drama that was inspirational to those of us who knew and loved him." - President Jimmy Carter, October 1989, from the rear outer cover. "Billy Carter was a man caught up in the whirlwind of his brother's ascent to power. But he was a whirlwind in his own right, a native of Georgia, a good ol' boy of authentic dimension. Billy is an affecting memoir rife with hijinks and ladled with love. A classic alcoholic, he sobered up only to contract cancer from which he died, a victim of cruel irony. As such, his story is of compelling interest on several levels. As someone must have said along the way, "Billy Carter is a piece of work." So is this book." - from the rear outer cover. ABOUT THE CO-AUTHOR SYBIL CARTER: Sybil Carter was Billy's wife for 33 years until his death in 1988. Living in Plains, Georgia with her two youngest children, Mandy and Ear. Signed by Author(s).…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition gray boards, blue spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by President Jimmy Carter; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Index; Photo Credits and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "In an American story of enduring importance, Jimmy Carter re-creates his Depression-era boyhood on a Georgia farm, before the civil rights movement that changed it and the country. In what is sure to become a classic, the bestselling author of Living Faith and Sources of Strength writes about the powerful rhythms of countryside and community in a sharecropping economy. Along the way, he offers an unforgettable portrait of his father, a brilliant farmer and strict segregationist who treated black workers with his own brand of "separate" respect and fairness, and his strong-willed and well-read mother, a nurse who cared for all in need -- regardless of their position in the community. Carter describes the five other people who shaped his early life, only two of them white: his eccentric relatives who sometimes caused the boy to examine his heritage with dismay; the boyhood friends with whom he hunted with slingshots and boomerangs and worked the farm, but who could not attend the same school; and the eminent black bishop who refused to come to the Carters' back door but who would stand near his Cadillac in the front yard discussing crops and politics with Jimmy's father. Carter's clean and eloquent prose evokes a time when the cycles of life were predictable and simple and the rules were heartbreaking and complex. In his singular voice and with a novelist's gift for detail, Jimmy Carter creates a sensitive portrait of an era that shaped the nation. An Hour Before Daylight is destined to stand with other timeless works of American literature." -- from the inner front jacket flap. Accordino, Michael (jacket design); Howard, Billy (author photograph); Walker, Beth M. (back cover photograph) (illustrator). …
