The Riverside Editions series was Houghton Mifflin's flagship scholarly paperback imprint for college courses ? a historically significant quality paperback series comparable in prestige to the Norton Critical Editions. A satirical epic of love and social adventure set during the Napoleonic Wars, Vanity Fair follows the trials and tribulations of two young women ? the charming and amoral Becky Sharp and the sweet, loyal Amelia Sedley ? as they navigate elopements and betrayals, fortunes made and lost, and battles both military and domestic. At its centre is one of the most unforgettable characters in nineteenth-century fiction ? Becky Sharp, a panoramic figure in Thackeray's masterpiece of English social satire. The Tillotson Riverside Edition is the standard scholarly text of this period, widely regarded as the most authoritative editorial treatment of the novel for classroom use, and includes Thackeray's own 40 illustrations alongside Geoffrey and Kathleen Tillotson's authoritative introduction and notes from the University of London. An exceptionally clean copy of a heavily assigned course text ? unmarked and unwritten throughout, which is genuinely rare in this format. Signed by Author(s).

Inscribed by Todd Purdom on title page. Statement from front of DJ: Defining Portraits, Deeds, and Misdeeds of 43 Notable Americans--and What Each One Really Thought About His Predecessor. Foreword by Todd S. Purdum. Essays by Judy Bachrach, David Friend, David Kamp, Todd S. Purdum, and Jim Windolf. One-page biography of each President, illustrated with a full-page profile sketch by Mark Summers. An appendix contains the frank assessment by each President about the man who immediately preceded him as president. Edward Graydon Carter, CM (born 14 July 1949) is a Canadian journalist who served as the editor of Vanity Fair from 1992 until 2017. He also co-founded, with Kurt Andersen and Tom Phillips, the satirical monthly magazine Spy in 1986. Accolades during his tenure at Vanity Fair include 14 National Magazine Awards and being named to the Magazine Editors' Hall of Fame. Forty-three of the men have held the highest office in the United States, making up an exclusive club of statesmen and sinners, grinds and slackers, winners and losers, Boy Scouts and rogues. They are profiled in incisive and entertaining commentaries written by Vanity Fair contributors that tell of their deeds, plumb their characters, and dispense the essential dish about their personal lives. Portraits by the acclaimed artist Mark Summers illuminate each of them as vivid individuals. Also included: revealing remarks-in the presidents' own words-showing what each really thought about the man who had preceded him in the Oval Office, an introduction by Graydon Carter, and a foreword by Washington insider Todd S. Purdum. From George Washington to Barack Obama, here is a memorable chronicle of America's most powerful men, combining history, biography, art, politics, and gossip--and covering international affairs, domestic affairs, and . . . affairs of the heart--in one small, indispensable volume.

'The Vanity Fair Diaries' is the story of an Englishwoman barely out of her twenties who arrives in Manhattan on a mission. Summoned from London in hopes that she can save Condé Nast's troubled new flagship Vanity Fair, Tina Brown is immediately plunged into the maelstrom of the competitive New York media world and the backstabbing rivalries at the court of the planet's slickest, most glamour focused magazine company. She survives the politics, the intrigue and the attempts to derail her by a simple stratagem, succeeding. In the face of rampant scepticism, she triumphantly reinvents a failing magazine. Here are the inside stories of Vanity Fair scoops and covers that sold millions. The Reagan kiss, the meltdown of Princess Diana's marriage to Prince Charles, the sensational Annie Leibovitz cover of a gloriously pregnant, naked Demi Moore. In the diary's cinematic pages, the drama, comedy and struggle of running an 'it' magazine come to life. Brown's 'Vanity Fair Diaries' is also a woman's journey, of making a home in a new country and of the deep bonds with her husband, their prematurely born son and their daughter. Quite scarce signed.
