‎Brodovitch‎

‎Boston Massachusetts U.S.A.: Harry N Abrams Inc 1989. Masters of American design series - with 340 illustrations including 70 in full color. 164 p Brodovitch was the model of the modern art director. The essence of contemporary magazine design - the driving pursuit of new ways to present visual material - can betraced to the example he set. While at Harper s Bazaar from 1934 to 1958 he created a design look whose energy elegance and simplicity captured the spirit of American fashion. magnetic and controversial he inspired the designers and photographers who attended his famous Design Laboratory. -"Astonish me!" was Alexey Brodovitch's constant admonition to the artists photographers and designers he directed through his long career as a pacesetter of graphic design. As art director of Harper's Bazaar from the depths of the Depression to the high plateau of Eisenhower optimism he changed the role of graphics and the graphic artist in daily life. In this strikingly handsome book Grundberg photography critic for the New York Times chronicles his subject from dashing Russian emigre to dean of American art directors. A case can be made that as a theorist Brodovitch anticipated the work of Moholy-Nagy but he wrote little preferring to devote himself to his work and his many proteges. Besides discussing and unveiling Brodovitch's designs and photos--including a brilliant set for the Ballets Russes--the author also sets the work of such master photographers as Avedon Penn Brassai and Cartier-Bresson in context.

‎1943. Original World War II Lt. Commanders personal diary that belonged to Lt. Commander Herbert Goebert USNR while on active military duty. This diary is in excellent intact condition. Entries range throughout 1943 and 1944. Here are some of the entries: writing of D-Day - he writes on Monday June 5th 1944 23:30 hrs. "News of invasion in London 6:30 A.M. 6/6 have a happy group around radio. 2 letters looks formidable in date. This invasion means beginning of end but a long way yet". Tuesday February 22 1944: "Worst unable to read yet. 120 - 125 per hour. I was blown off feet onto fanny. Two huts gone. Aided corpman securing gear. Von I Fires all out for unable to read plenty cold. Tempted to pack my gear. Lights all on. No worry about surprise attack tonight". Monday April 10 1944: Mentions the Sullivans. Friday April 21 1944 23:30 hrs: "Just finished 56 hr. duty without sleep. Everything is OK. Can't tell what happened. So tired I need sleeping tablet. Have been recomended as doing an excellent job.

Friday December 31 1943: " Seems like wishful thinking to think of peace next year! So much to be done. Lets hope we're wrong". Many other interesting entries. By reading this diary it would seem that Lt. Commander Goebert was transfered from base to base. He writes of being homesick and how his son is a year and a half older since he last seen him. Lt Commander Goebert was a surgeon and he writes of many of the cases that he performed "bullet in brain" and "epidemic of amputations" and this is just to name a few. . Soft Cover.

‎Snead, Sam; Pirozzolo, Dr Fran‎

‎The Game I Love: Wisdom Insight and Instruction from Golf's Greatest Player‎

‎Westminster Maryland U.S.A.: Ballantine Books 1997. Splendid copy. As new. Boldly inscribed across the front endpaper in black marker by Sam Snead .Whether or not Sam Snead sits atop the leader board as golf's greatest is no gimme but there's no question about his ability to communicate. His storytelling was always as much a part of his game as his smooth melodic swing and he tells wonderful stories in The Game I Love. In the tradition of Harvey Penick's bestselling series Snead's book is a slim volume that affably blends advice with anecdote swing thought with strategy: on that level alone the book is nothing if not useful and engaging. What makes it uniquely fun though is its clever bottom-of-the-page photo feature; flip quickly through the book and you can see the Snead swing--as graceful as the game has ever produced--in all its glory and that fills The Game I Love with poetry as well.

John Pope to threaten Lee from that direction while McClellan continued to press against Richmond on the James River. But the Confederates more agile mentally and physically defeated Pope in detail first at Cedar Mountain then on a larger scale at Second Manassas Bull Run. Following a dramatic aftermath at Chantilly Lee invaded the North with Harrisburg as his initial objective. McClellan preempting command of the combined Federal forces followed Lee to Frederick thence over the western mountain passes where two battles were fought. Meantime Jackson circled around to capture Harper's Ferry after which he rejoined Lee on the Antietam where was fought the bloodiest single day of the war. McClellan should have won but his lethargy and errors caused the fight to end in a stalemate after which Lee retreated into Virginia. The author in addition to clarifying the flow of events gives in his analysis the reasons for what happened and brings into sharp relief the main characters of the drama."

Franco never questioned an order he just carried it out. And Jimmy Hoffa never questioned how an order was carried out. In this blistering story of power abused Richard Hammer documents the rise and fall of Jimmy Hoffa as witnessed by Joe Franco one of his most trusted lieutenants. There is violence in 'Hoffa's Man'. There is corruption bribery extortion and betrayal. There are names: Bobby Kennedy Frank Sinatra and dozens of other political and show business bigwigs enmeshed in this story of greed immorality and total defiance of the law.
