Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. New York Times "Heartfelt and frequently hilarious. (Marley & Me) gets at the heart of the animal-human bond, with humor and with pathos, in a deeply personal manner. Grogan is a born storyteller." Philadelphia Inquirer (illustrator). 1st Edition. Signed Copy; John ad Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley quickly grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound steamroller of a Labrador Retriever, a dog like no other. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole women's undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewelry. Obedience school did no good-Marley was expelled. Neither did the tranquilizers the veterinarian prescribed for him with the admonishment, "Don't hesitate to use these." And yet Marley's heart was pure. Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley shared the couple's joy at their first pregnancy and their heartbreak over the miscarriage. He was there when babies finally arrived and when the screams of a seventeen-year-old stabbing victim pierced the night. Marley shut down a public beach and managed to land a role in a feature-length movie, always winning hearts as he made a mess of things. Through it all, he remained steadfast, a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogan's. Signed by Author.

In that capacity he directed a program to train and employ local men as artisans to work on the Cathedral during the Great Depression.

The first lecture took place at Carnegie hall on January 2nd, 1920. Unfortunately Maeterlinck failed to carry out his intention to lecture in English because of his labored "phonetic" English. He declared his intention to continue his lectures in French and have the translation read by another person. As a result, the lecture tour was a failure and lawsuits ensued on both sides.

Paper. Condition: Near fine. Handwritten by John Steinbeck, parts two and three of his three-part article for The New York Times Magazine titled, "Autobiography: Making of a New Yorker." Together with three autograph letters signed by Steinbeck to NYTM editor Seymour Peck, and o (illustrator). Handwritten Manuscript. In total, this collection includes 12 legal page leaves, written in pencil by Steinbeck on rectos only, and one typed letter from his editor. All in near fine condition, with faint toning to edges and small paperclip indentations. (Goldstone & Payne C90, article) With an 11-page typed transcription of the drafts and letters, bound in chronological order of appearance. Housed in a custom brown cloth clamshell case, title printed on paper label affixed to spine. (Provenance: Christie's 1986; Christie's 1999) John Steinbeck's article "Autobiography: Making of a New Yorker," begins in Part One (not included here) with his first unhappy (and short-lived) experience in New York City in 1925, at the age of 23. Part Two, handwritten here, details his second "assault on New York" in the fall of 1935, in which he begrudgingly transforms from a "Country Boy" into a true "New Yorker." At first, Steinbeck writes: "It is so strange to look back. I was going to live in New York but I was going to avoid it." Near the end of the installment, his anecdotes change. He writes: "Everything fell into place. I saw every face I passed. It was beautiful - but most important - I was part of it, I was no longer a stranger." In the final section, handwritten here, Steinbeck describes the broad dichotomy of the city, and romanticizes city life. He writes: "New York is an ugly city, a dirty city. Its climate is a scandal, its politics are used to frighten children, its traffic is madness, its competition is murderous. But. once you have lived in New York and it has become your home - no place else is good enough. All of everything is concentrated here, population, theatre, art, painting, publishing, importing, business, murder, mugging, luxury, poverty. It is all of everything." The correspondence between Steinbeck and NYTM editor Seymour Peck primarily discusses deadlines for the article drafts. In the first letter, Steinbeck tells Peck of his plans for the three-part article. Peck responds on November 26, 1952, asking for all writing to be completed by December 24, 1952. The second letter is inserted at the end of Part Two, informing Peck that Part Three will be along shortly. The third letter, dated December 17, 1952, accompanies Part Three, in which Steinbeck says the article "isn't very good, but it is heart-felt." A truly exceptional collection of autobiographical writings from a classic American author. Despite his reputation as a Californian, John Steinbeck spent nearly half his life living in New York City. In 1925, he left Stanford University without a degree and moved to the city for roughly one year. He returned to New York with his then-girlfriend Gwen, living for a while in Sneden's Landing. They stayed in New York until the birth of his first son, Thom, and the publication of Cannery Row (1945). He later returned to the East Coast with his third wife, Elaine, and bought a home in Sag Harbor in 1955. Steinbeck remained in New York City until his death in 1968. Signed.

Truman, held July 2, 1953 at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City, with a great inscription to his Treasury Secretary, John W. Snyder. The luncheon was hosted by The American Weekly newspaper.

John Snyder, who was in attendance at the luncheon: "To the greatest Sec. of the Treasury, from his friend, Harry Truman." John W. Snyder (1895-1985) served as the 54th U.S. Secretary of the Treasury from 1946 to 1953 under President Harry S. Truman. Snyder was a close personal friend of Truman, which played a significant role in his appointment. During his tenure, he focused on post-World War II economic stabilization, managing the transition from a wartime to a peacetime economy, and tackling issues related to inflation and the national debt. He was instrumental in the implementation of the Marshall Plan, which aimed to rebuild and revitalize war-torn European economies. Snyder's policies also included maintaining price controls and supporting housing programs to address postwar housing shortages. He left office on January 20, 1953, and remained friends with President Truman until his passing in 1972. Signed.
