THE SHARING SOCIETY. Inscribed to George McGovern
Secaucus: Lyle Stuart 1979. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. This copy inscribed by Lamb to George McGovern on the front endpaper: "To / George McGovern / with admiration / Toledo Ohio." From the library of George McGovern. Lamb 1901-1987 was an American businessman broadcasting executive and labor lawyer. He is best known for having defended striking workers during the Auto-Lite Strike in 1934 and for successfully resisting the federal government's attempt to strip him of his broadcasting licenses during the McCarthy era.

Most of your American political leaders like Lyndon Johnson Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey do not seem to recognize the fundamental ethics of revolution in forcing change and improvements." On the next page 212 when speaking about politicians who wanted to visit Castro in Cuba he states; ".Senators Eugene McCarthy William Fulbright Frank Church and Jacob Javits and Justice William O Douglas all of whom had indicated interest in visiting Cuba" .but Castro himself stated his preference he wanted ".of all the American politicians he most wanted to see were Senators George McGovern and Wayne Morse." 272 pages with index.

Lamb G. F.
Modern Adventures in Air and Space. With four plates in half-tone and eleven maps and diagrams.
London: George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd. 1964. Octavo red boards hardcover 192 pp. Neat former-owner bookplate; otherwise Fine in a Near-Fine dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: The first powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903 more or less coincided with the start of the century; and during the following sixty years the development of every kind of aircraft has gone steadily ahead. Air speeds have increased amazingly and space travel has suddenly turned from a science-fiction dream to a reality. It is with this modern period that the present book deals. It covers some of the most courageous exploits of the last war and some of the striking jet-plane and rocket-plane achievements which have been seen since the war; and it itells the story of recent space exploration from the tentative balloon exploits of the late 1950s to the Russian and American world orbits of the early 1960s. Nor is the airman’s friend the parachute forgotten: there is a chapter devoted to some notable parachuting experiences. The growth in aircraft and spacecraft has necessarily been a matter of great technical accomplishment. None the less technical development by iteself is nothing. What makes technical advances significant is the use to which men can put them. There is a useful place of course for books dealing with the mechanics of flight but the present book is about human exploits not about machines. For this reason it will perhaps have a special interest for the general reader particularly older boys and girls. George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd., 1964. hardcover books

THE MARCH OF THE BARBARIANS
New York: Doubleday 1940. Octavo cloth. First edition first printing with "FIRST EDITION" so stated on the copyright page. A presentation copy with signed inscription by Lamb on the half title page: "To Frank and Melba Bennett -- / Who have made so / many Christmases merry / Harold Lamb / This Christmas 1940." Beginning in 1932 the Bennetts and Mr and Mrs. Philip L. Boyd owned the Deep Well Guest Ranch in Palm Springs California. "Perhaps it wasn't strictly a 'dude ranch' but Deep Well Ranch delivered a strong dose of Western-flavored adventure for those who stayed there. In its heyday the Ranch was a 'labor of love' for Frank and Melba Bennett. Both were Southern Californians Melba being a sixth-generation Californian who came from a family who raised some of the most prized trotting horses in the country. Horses were her passion and activities for her guests were carefully planned around horseback riding and evening sitting around the camp fire. As time went on the Ranch became a spot where the famous nearly famous and just regular tourists came together to experience a Western-style adventure in the desert. Activities at the Ranch also included swimming and sunbathing around the pool. During the Great Depression industrialists and other notable entrepreneurs came to the desert looking for fun in the sunshine and the Ranch amply provided the rich Western atmosphere portrayed primarily in cowboy films made in Hollywood and in the Palm Springs area that they craved." - Robert Louis Semes with Doree Goldstein and Mimi Fisher "Ride 'em Cowboy: The Fascinating History of Deep Well Ranch." A clean nearly fine copy in very good pictorial dust jacket with wear along top and bottom edges and several closed tears. #155745 Doubleday unknown books
