Reviews
Copyright 1985 Reed Business Information, Inc.
In correspondence with presidents be fore he was 30, Walter Lippmann wrote some 20,000 letters over a career which intersected both World War I and Viet nam. Lippmann may be remembered best as a critic of our Vietnam policy, but most of these letters, the first pub lished collection, predate the Cold War. They show him engaging every major public question of his day, turn ing to each with the authority and cool precision of a surgeon as he addressed Wilson, the Roosevelts, Holmes, Keynes, Bernard Berenson, and others among the illustrious, as well as ordi nary readers of his daily journalism. There is little of the private man here. Instead, Blum, drawing upon Yale's collection, has assembled an ``intellec tually comprehensive representation'' of Lippmann's thought, illuminating the letters with crisp annotation, an ele gant introduction, and a biographical chronology. Essential for academic and large public libraries. Robert F. Nar dini, M.L.S., Concord, N.H.

Store description
All of these listed items are being sold out of a private collection. Some of these are books collected in my lifetime but most are books I inherited and have grown up with since childhood. Large book collections can be a blessing and a curse. While they can be a source of delight, fascination, learning and sentiment, they can also be very cumbersome and difficult to maintain. It's time to lighten the load a little and share this collection with the rest of the book loving world.
Specialty
Primarily fiction/English literature, some non-fiction, collectables, magazines, journals, letters and a few autographs.Seller's business information
