Seller: Burnside Rare Books, ABAA

Title: I, Robot
Author: Asimov, Isaac
Seller: Burnside Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: New York: Gnome Press, Inc, 1950. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition, first printing. Presentation copy signed by Isaac Asimov on the front free endpaper the day after publication and inscribed: "For: Alex Osheroff, who would have bought it anyway—a true blue guy. 12/3/50." 253 pp. Bound in publisher's red cloth boards stamped in black. Near Fine with short tear and accompanying dent to spine, light foxing to textblock edges, and light foxing and offsetting to endpapers. In a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with light rubbing and edgewear, several shallow scratches, and light foxing to upper and lower edges and verso. A superb copy of Isaac Asimov's short story collection exploring the ethical implications of programming robots. He signed the fresh-off-the-press copy to Alex Osheroff, a science fiction fan who published the single issue cardzine Robot in 1937 and co-edited the first issue of the fanzine Helios with Sam Moskowitz that same year. Osheroff retained his interest in speculative fiction after serving in the Second World War and joined the Fantasy Veterans Association, which held several conventions in the 1950s. He would have treasured the warm inscription in this book.

Title: President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower Tells a Major Supporter That His Contribution Helped Enable Ike to Bring His “Crusade” to the American People
Author: Dwight D. Eisenhower
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 14/01/1953. “Since November 4th my thoughts have turned often to those whose faith and support - and financial contributions - helped to make victory possible. In the task of bringing the message of our Crusade to all of our follow Americans, we would have failed without their much-needed help.”The 1952 United States presidential election was held on Tuesday, November 4, 1952. Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower won a landslide victory over Illinois Democratic Governor Adlai Stevenson, becoming the first Republican president in 20 years. This was the first election since 1928 without an incumbent president on the ballot. Eisenhower was re-elected in 1956 in a rematch with Stevenson.The 1952 presidential election campaign was conducted against the backdrop of a “red scare” in which many Americans feared that foreign communist agents were attempting to infiltrate the government. Two years earlier Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, who held that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations amounted to “20 years of treason,” claimed that he had a list of State Department employees who were loyal only to the Soviet Union. Though McCarthy offered no evidence to support his charges and revealed only a single name, he won a large personal following. The Red Scare, the stalemated Korean War, and a renewal of inflation handicapped Stevenson, who fought a vigorous campaign.Eisenhower campaigned tirelessly, impressing millions with his warmth and sincerity. His wide, friendly grin, wartime heroics, and middle-class pastimes—he was an avid golfer endeared him to the public and garnered him vast support. On the eve of the election there was a general opinion that the presidential race was close. The final tally, however, was anything but. Eisenhower won by more than six million votes, capturing 39 states and 442 electoral votes to Stevenson’s 9 states and 89 electoral votes. The election was considered a great personal triumph for Eisenhower.In the wake of the election Eisenhower thanked his major contributors for their financial support, which had enabled him to bring his message to the American people.Typed letter signed, on his letterhead, New York, January 14, 1953, to Hugh Moore, president of the Dixie Cup Company and a supporter of his. “Dear Mr. Moore: To the thanks you have undoubtedly already received for your generous contribution during the campaign, I wish to add my own.“Since November 4th my thoughts have turned often to those whose faith and support - and financial contributions - helped to make victory possible. In the task of bringing the message of our Crusade to all of our fellow Americans, we would have failed without their much-needed help. That is why I am particularly glad of this opportunity to express my gratitude to you, and to ask for your continued support.”It is interesting that Eisenhower saw his election as a crusade and his views as carrying a message.

Title: [[THEATER] MOVIE STILLS; PHOTOGRAPHS] DIXIE. CHRONICLES OF AMERICA. 1924
Seller: Black Swan Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: Yale University Press, 1924. Two 8 x 10” movie stills from “Dixie”, one of The Chronicles of America Photoplays, a series undertaken by the Yale University Press as attempt to translate their history books of the same name into film. The two stills show the beginning and end of the Civil War -- “With gay confidence, the South toasts the success of the cause” and “At Appomattox. A mark of respect to General Lee, beloved leader and valiant general”. The highly idealized and improbable portrayals in the two images show (1) Robert E. Lee as played by J. Barney Sherry raising a toast on the porch of a plantation surrounded by men on horseback and many slaves (with trees dripping with Spanish moss); and (2) General Lee on horseback at Appomattox, with General Grant (played by Albert Phillips) doffing his hat and a number of other hat-doffing Union officers. Both images show wear, with corner loss, though the corners are present.
