Title: Hatter's Castle
Author: CRONIN, A.J.
Seller: David Brass Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: London: Victor Gollancz Ltd., 1931. With My Kindest Regards & Sincere Admiration" - A.J. Cronin to Jean Hersholt A Distinguished Association Copy of Hatter's Castle, Cronin's Powerful First Novel CRONIN, A.J. Hatter's Castle. London: Victor Gollancz Ltd., 1931. First edition, inscribed by the author to the celebrated actor and humanitarian Jean Hersholt, one of the most respected figures in early Hollywood and later namesake of the Academy's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Octavo (7 11/16 x 5 inches; 195 x 122 mm.). [1-9], 10-637, [3, blank] pp. Publisher's original black cloth over boards, spine lettered in gilt. A near fine copy, the cloth exceptionally well preserved with only minimal signs of handling. Housed in a handsome quarter gold morocco clamshell case over black cloth boards, spine with five raised bands and three black morocco labels lettered in gilt. Provenance: "For Jean Hersholt/with my kindest/regards & sincere/admiration/A.J. Cronin/Woodlea Hill/New Canaan." With Hersholt's pictorial bookplate on the front pastedown, additionally signed by him in ink, further strengthening the association. Hatter's Castle, Cronin's first novel, was an immediate and sensational success upon publication in 1931. Written during a period of convalescence from medical practice, the novel established his reputation overnight. A dark and psychologically penetrating work, it tells the story of James Brodie, a tyrannical hatter whose pride and moral rigidity destroy his family. The novel's: stark realism, moral intensity, and critique of social and domestic tyranny placed Cronin in the lineage of Victorian social novelists while aligning him with modern psychological fiction. This is a highly desirable association copy, uniting literature and early cinema through a personal exchange between author and actor. Copies of Hatter's Castle are not uncommon, but examples with such direct and meaningful provenance - particularly to a figure of Hersholt's stature - are decidedly rare and of special interest to collectors of literary, cinematic, and cultural history. A. J. Cronin (1896-1981), Scottish physician-turned-novelist, whose works combined social conscience with narrative power and achieved enormous international success. Jean Hersholt (1886-1956), Danish-American actor and philanthropist, famed for his roles in over 75 films and for his humanitarian work, later commemorated by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences through the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.

Title: Civil Rights Era Interviews with Black Politicians: Black Candidates: Southern Campaign Experiences, 1968
Author: Julian Bond
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1968. [Civil Rights][African American] Bond, Julian. Black Candidates: Southern Campaign Experiences. Atlanta: Voter Education Project Southern Regional Council, Inc. May, 1969. 8vo. 57 pages. Pictorial wrappers and staple bound spine. Civil rights activist Julian Bond partnered with the Voter Education Project in early 1968 to interview and share the experiences and methods of African American political candidates in the South. Based on taped interviews, the book contains contributions from 19 black candidates for various elected offices in southern states. Those 19 contributors are Lucius Anderson, Felton J. Capel, Geneva Collins, Eddie Davis, Charles Evers (brother of Medgar Evers), James Jolliff, Jr., Jesse E. Lawrence, Ledell Mackie, Dan Nixon, Peter Smith, Elijah Coleman, F. Malcolm Cunningham, Earl M. Johnson, Barbara Jordan, Athalie Range, Clarence L. Townes, Horace T. Ward, Q. V. Williamson and Thomas E. Wrenn. Bond's interviews were recorded and transcribed into this booklet with the intention of educating and inspiring other Black Americans who seek political office. Bond himself was elected to the Georgia General Assembly in 1965. He was twice refused his seat by the members of the House of Representatives because of his public concurrence with a Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee denunciation of the war in Vietnam. He was elected three times within a 12-month period before the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the House to seat him at the 1967 session. As the intentions are not partisan, interviewees range from various candidates from different parties. Many of Bond's questions revolve around the following; "What was the racial makeup of your district?", "What motivated you to run?", "How did you raise funds and what campaign tactics did you use?", "What kind of help did your campaign get from blacks, whites, paid workers or political party?", "What effect did your running have on the Negro community and prospective black candidates?", "Why do you think you won or lost your race?", and "What advice would you give to other black candidates?" Each candidate interviewed is accompanied by a black and white photographic portrait next to a small biographical caption. Some toning to wrappers, some foxing to front and back inner pages and page edges. Text is clean and binding is tight. Overall very good condition. These personal discussions of success and failure amidst the volatile social climate offers a unique experience through the Black lens. Scarce.
