Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine dj. First Edition. [very nice attractive copy, with only minimal wear to book and jacket]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the ffep. A novel in the form of a fifteen-year-old girl's diary, in which is revealed the hardly-shocking news that "this business of growing up is really ve…ry bewildering." F. Hugh Herbert was a prolific screenwriter and sometime playwright, with credits stretching back to the silent film era, whose most recent credit at the time this book appeared was the then-scandalous THE MOON IS BLUE (also based on his own play). And, it must be said, he seems to have had quite the obsession with adolescent and teenage girls; his most notable creation along these lines was the character of teenager Corliss Archer, who at various times was depicted in short stories, radio, theatre, movies, TV, and comic books. Herbert wrote only a handful of novels, of which this was the last; all are quite scarce. Signed by Author. Illustrated by (dj) Eleanor Dart (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Octavo, blue cloth lettered in gilt; slightly sunned spine. First edition. A presentation copy, inscribed: "To Philip C. Jessup, with the kind regards of Herbert Hoover," additionally signed by Hugh Gibson on the front free endpaper. ---- Jessup, a judge on the International Court of… Justice, was credited with playing a major role in ending the Soviet blockade of West Berlin. Jessup was a U.S. representative to the United Nations General Assembly, as well as a member of the International Court of Justice at The Hague. He also served as a U.S. ambassador at large from 1949 until his resignation in 1953. During that time, he was one of the closest advisers of then-Secretary of State Dean Acheson. After Jessup was maligned by Senator Joe McCarthy for purported communist "affinities," Dwight D. Eisenhower heralded Jessup's "devotion to the principles of Americanism." McCarthy's charges kept Jessup from being reappointed to the U.S. delegation to the United Nations in 1951 but President Harry S. Truman made him an alternate delegate the following year. Meanwhile, at the request of President Truman, Herbert Hoover made several relief trips, supported the Marshall Plan, and called for the rehabilitation of Germany and Japan, positions also advocated by Jessup. A significant antiwar publication with a distinguished provenance. Inscribed by Author(s).

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition of this analysis for peace post-World War II. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed and signed by both authors on the front free endpaper, "To Harvey P. Keller With the good wishes of Herbert Hoover." Additionally signed by Hugh Gibson. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. "One of the outstanding di…fferences between this war and the First World War is the amount of speculation and planning about the peace settlement being carried on while the fighting is still in progress. The present work of the ex-President and a prominent career diplomat is symptomatic of this trend. The authors make no pretense at drawing up a detailed and definitive blueprint of the new world, being content rather to review, very summarily indeed, the path that has led us to where we are, to analyze the lessons we can draw from this experience, and to suggest broad principles and procedures for the coming peace settlement. They advocate that the latter be achieved in three consecutive stages, the first of which shall include general disarmament" (Robert Gale Woolbert).
