Stated First Printing. Signed by the author on the half title page ('with best wishes, Jack Warner'). Once listed, this will be the Only signed copy of this book for sale anywhere on the Internet. As you can see from the photos, the black covers are perfectly clean and the gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. The edges and corners show no wear at all. There is a little wrinkle the bottom edge of the spine and just adjacent to it on the front. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover, no binding issues. The pages are exceptionally clean. I didn't see any soiling at all. There are no creases or dogeared corners. No markings. No attachments. And with the exception of the author's signature, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. The dust jacket is in as excellent condition. It is perfectly clean. It has a couple of tiny light creases. The flaps are in fine shape, also perfectly clean. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the flaps of the jacket: 'Jack Warner earned a football scholarship to Yale, and after graduation he served as a Marine Corps infantry officer during the Korean War. He was a considerable force in Massachusetts and Boston politics for many, many years before, as Mike Barnicle tells it, "retreating to Nantucket where he has lived a wonderful life." Jack Warner has been a politician, a banker, a newspaper publisher, a real estate developer, in international business consultant, a lobsterman. He literally sat at the feet of an American president, he lunched in a remote Irish pub with the man known as "Hitler's general"; and he had dinner often with Olympic legend Jesse Owens. Reflections in the Rearview Mirror is a wonderfully funny and moving book full of laughter, warmth, friendship and love.'.…

Jack grew up in Westfield, Massachusetts during the Depression and Word War II; he earned a football scholarship to Yale, and after graduation he served as a Marine Corps infantry officer during the Korean War. He was a considerable force in Massachusetts and Boston politics for many, many years before, as Mike Barnicle tells it, "retreating to Nantaucket where he has lived a wonderful life."
Jack Warner has been a politician, a banker, a newspaper publisher, a real estate developer, an international business consultant, an offshore lobsterman, and the author of three successful books.
He literally sat at the feet of an American president; he lunched in a remote Irish pub with the man known as "Hitlers general"; and he had dinner often with Olympic legend Jesse Owens. He was as comfortable in the luxurious private gambling clubs of Londons Park Lane as hed been in the Irish immigrant-packed, politically charged streets and kitchens of his native Westfield. He worked as a business consultant in the Middle East, particularly Iran and Oman, in the turbulent 1970s, and was a single father raising his kids and living year round on the supposedly idyllic island of Nantucket when most people thought the island closed on Labor Day. He has been a cancer victim and is seemingly miraculously a cancer survivor. He traveled joyfully all over Ireland with his family and friends, and he returned to China with a Yale classmate who had been recruited by the CIA during the Korean War, captured by the Chinese on his first mission into China, and completely abandoned by the US government, a prisoner of the Chinese Communists for over twenty years, and who in his return journey seemed to be seeking some type of final resolution to his tragic and painful ordeal.
And finally, Jack Warner was an almost blissfully content middle-aged bachelor, with no plans for a long term commitment on the horizon of his imagination, when he was completely floored by the love of a beautiful and warm woman who lived, he discovered, right around the corner from him on Nantucket, and who would change his life forever.
Jack Warner has, indeed, led a quietly amazing life. And Reflections in the Rearview Mirror is a wonderfully funny and moving book full of laughter, warmth, friendship and love.
So slide into the passengers seat youll enjoy the ride.

Store description
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
