Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. Endpaper signed by Bill Walton. One of the most talented centers ever to play basketball, Bill Walton led the way to two NCAA championships at UCLA under Coach John Wooden. After being selected by the Portland Trail Blazers as the number one pick in the 1974 draft, Walton became one of the league's best players- and his shooting and rebound records are still on the books. Winning the NBA championship with the Blazers in 1977, Walton was named MVP, and went on to join the 1986 championship Boston Celtics team, winning the NBA's Sixth Man Award. Here, Walton describes his colorful basketball career, recalling the highs and lows, the wins and the losses, that marked his time in the paint. From participating in UCLA antiwar protests, to the exciting Memphis State game in which he made 21 out of 22 shots; to why he chose not to play in the 1972 Olympics- it's all here, as well as the excitement of playing against top NBA adversaries Kareem Abdul-Jabaar, Dr. J., and Michael Jordan, and the thrill of playing with Celtics teammates Larry Bird, Dennis Johnson, and Kevin McHale. Walton delivers his opinions on coaches, players, and teams, and details his off-air activities as well, from helping coach Shaquille O'Neal, to going on the road with the Grateful Dead, to his thrilling induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. From the papers of Philip Dosse, who was proprietor of Hansom Books, publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See 'Death of a Bookman' by the novelist Sally Emerson (editor of 'Books and Bookmen' at the time of Dosse's suicide), in Standpoint magazine, October 2018. Rees-Mogg's book was published in 1974, and the present item appeared in 'Books and Bookmen' in the same year. A late draft, neatly written out on 5pp, small 4to, with each page on separate leaf. Signed at end 'Colin R. Coote'. Minor emendations to the first, second and last pages. Begins: 'This brilliantly sensible essay does something to redress my conviction that nothing good can come out of Printing House Square except by dismissal. The verdict was reached afterr over 20 year's service with the former Thunderer, when it became a ringleader in the foolish, flimsy, and almost lethal flummery called appeasement. But I now rejoice that God has answered Belloc's prayer to be with Balliol men by clearly inspiring one of them - Mr Rees-Mogg.' 'What is the "Reigning Error"?' Coote asks. 'It is failure to realise that an imaginary test is the enemy of a practical good. There are two basic themes in this essay. The first is the behaviour of money; the second is the behaviour of men.' At one point he writes: 'The only advantage I have over Mr Rees-Mogg is that I have actually experienced rabid deflation here and rabid inflation in four separate countries.' He concludes, on the subject of 'human behaviour', 'What is really distressing is not the venom of mindless militancy, but its stupidity. You need only be able to read and to see in order to know that if strikes are substituted for honest sweat the end will be ghastly unemployment; that if Parliamentary Democracy is destroyed, the alternative will be either tyranny or anarchy; that the real danger is not from known indignants, but from "leaders" who say "I am their leader I must follow them".'.

HOWARD EATON. Eaton, hailing from Pittsburgh, began giving Yellowstone tours in the 1880s after it became the countrys first National Park. Howard and his brothers then created the first dude ranch in Medora, North Dakota. In 1904, they moved their operations to Wolf, Wyoming where it still exists today.ALS. 2pg. 6 x 4. February 6, 1915. Gardiner, Montana. An autograph letter signed Howard Eaton to Mr. Pearson. He wrote on a notecard embossed with the symbol of Eatons Ranch Wolf, Wyoming: Your favor of the 14th ult. chased me to the Ranch to Yellowstone Park New Orleans and back to Park, where it finally caught me. I regret exceedingly that I cannot spare the money now. We have a large debt on our Ranch as we had almost nothing when we started, having been cleaned out by Indians, bad weather, low prices on stock for several years, and many other things. If business goes on as at present, a few years longer we will be free. Id gladly pay up in full and be a Life Member, but as present cannot do so. Im much interested in every form of protection for Game, Fish, etc. and in all conservation projects, and as I pay a little to each of these objects and also my dues in Masonic and Elk Lodges the combined amount totals up about all I can now spare. I leave 7th inst. for Penna with 100 Elk hope to visit New York soon after 20th inst. and to see you then. Mr. Alexander, Col. Holmes, Mr. Arthur and all the La Com. asked about you. I met Mr. Bigelow and wife of Harvard he was down to inspect the Sage Foundation Land. Hoping to see you soon, and regretting my poverty, I am Yours truly Howard Eaton. The letter has light wear and rounded corners but is in fine condition.
