Burbank: American Public Relations Forum, Inc, no date, 1959 or a little later. 68p, staplebound professionally-printed booklet, yellow-buff 9 x 4 inch upright wraps titled in red. Paperstock is quite browned, wraps are mildly crimped with some handling soil and staining, former owner has underlined two words (on p.2 and 16) and his name and address is in ink inside the back cover. This "revised" edition may or mayn't be much revised, but there are two new embellishing texts that bump the original "editorial note by Charles Stickley" [Hubbard] to pp.19-20 (the title page got lost along the way, somehow). New text no.1 is the announced foreword pp.1-15 (uncredited, surely Ron), and, no.2, an "Extension of remarks of Hon. Usher L. Burdick of North Dakota in Congress," June of 1957, pp.15-16. Representative Burdick is under the impression that Hitler performed millions of, and Stalin ten million, lobotomies. // Other internal citations date this reissue, which is in this cataloguer's experience scarcer than the 1955 first, let alone the plentiful circa-1960 Kenneth Goff-intro'd public domain issue --Goff seems genuinely not to have been in the Hubbard loop. //// Be that as it may : prefatory address purports to be by Laventri Beria, Stalin's internal security man; text is an unacknowledged forgery by Hubbard. Once you have the attribution in mind it becomes plain from style, preoccupations and general content, that yep, it's Ron. The story of its composition is to be found on pp.107-117 of Bent Corydon's book "L. Ron Hubbard, Messiah or Madman?" revised version. Corydon co-authored the first version with Ron Jr, who deposed that "Dad wrote every word of it. Barbara Bryan and my wife typed the manuscript off his dictation." And there was another witness, John Sanborne, quoted in the same pages: "I suggested it. Just kidding around on his front porch. Slygo Avenue in Silver Spring, Maryland. Talking about how are we going to get these psychiatrists. I said, 'What we need to do is take over their subject. What we need to put out is a manual of psych-military someting or other.. as coming from the communists, and then put a lot of psychiatry in it.' And we're sitting there, with our chairs tipped back on the front porch, tipped against the house, with our feet up on the railing, and all of a sudden he came down on his chair and he grabs me. And I thought, 'I've had it!' And he said, 'That's it!' Then he disappeared into this little front room which was sort of a bedroom and study, and you could hear him in there dictating the book." Corydon analysis of the text is cogent; he also says Hubbard implemented the scenario himself in the 60's, when his control over numerous young folk became overwhelmingly powerful. For a general picture how Hubbard distributed his booklet, see p.222 of Russell Miller's "Bare-Faced Messiah, the True Story of L. Ron Hubbard." Postscript: there seems to have been a precursor, or first version, that Hubbard published in 1946 as "Hypnosis for Sabotage," using the pen name "Damon Clowne". Bookseller reference : 122712 |

Burbank: American Public Relations Forum, Inc, no date, 1959 or 60. 68p, staplebound professionally-printed booklet, faded 9 x 4 inch upright wraps titled in black. Cover was once bird's-egg blue, now brownish grey, other mild signs of age, some signs of handling but unmarked and sound. This "revised" edition may or mayn't be revised, but there are two new embellishing texts that bump the original "editorial note by Charles Stickley" [Hubbard] to pp.19-20 (the title page got lost along the way, somehow). New text no.1 is the announced foreword pp.1-15 (uncredited, surely Ron), and, no.2, an "Extension of remarks of Hon. Usher L. Burdick of North Dakota in Congress," June of 1957, pp.15-16. Representative Burdick is under the impression that Hitler performed millions of, and Stalin ten million, lobotomies. // This issue of "the revision" may be part of the last batch printed in the upright format (Goff reissued it in a 8.5x5.5 inch format) as its back cover is imprinted with further text, set in typewriting, with a message that sounds like Goff and unlike Hubbard. Also, the paperstock is cheaper, the reproduction a bit fuzzy, and title rubrication is dispensed with. //// Be that as it may : prefatory address purports to be by Laventri Beria, Stalin's internal security man; text is an unacknowledged forgery by Hubbard. Once you have the attribution in mind it becomes plain from style, preoccupations and general content, that yep, it's Ron.

In the original printed brown paper jackets (the guide book is lacking the jacket and is a little rubbed and worn), with some general light wear and soiling; otherwise a very good set.

Boston: Meador, 1938. Hardcover. Octavo in dark blue-green polished, ribbed cloth and gilt-titled boards; pale green DJ illus in orange and blue; 318 p. incl. plates, 2 port, maps (1 fold.) front. (port.) 21 cm; footnotes; bibliography: p. 317-318. "A History of Central California from Pioneer Days.." -- DJ rear panel. The Online Archive of California says Hubbard's "local history research is informed by a knowledge of economic factors that was unusual for the day..Hubbard is probably the last historian to have interviewed Julia Weber, daughter of the founder of Stockton, Charles M. Weber III, the founder's grandson, and Louisa E. Vallejo de Emparan, the last surviving daughter of M. G. Vallejo." The final chapter of BUILDING is devoted to six major California bridges, all in San Francisco Bay Area; and includes a lengthy celebratory poem about the Golden Gate Bridge reprinted from the San Francisco News (1947). Another chapter on the history of mail service in California. Hubbard worked for the postal service as an engineer for many years. Scarce in such immaculate condition. A somewhat quirky, but worthwhile history of Central California, and one which is farily well- written by this self-taught, "indefatigable" amateur historian who died in 1970. Hubbard also wrote a lenghty work on General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, entitled Vallejo, as well as a few other works. // Table of Contents is as follows: Exploring the San Juaquin -- Empire builders -- California in 1849 -- The dawn of a new era -- Development of mail service -- Men America will remember -- The romance of the San Francisco Bay Bridges. // California; San Joaquin Valley (Calif.) -- History. Very Fine in Fine DJ in archival Brodart protective jacket. DJ spine ever so slightly faded. Bookseller reference : 11413 |
