THE SWEET HELL INSIDE: A Family History
New York NY U.S.A.: HarperCollins Publishers Inc. 2001. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. With personal recollections by Edwina Harleston Whitlock. THE SWEET HELL INSIDE recounts the lives of the Harleston family of South Carolina the progeny of a Southern gentleman and his slave who cast off their blemished roots and achieved affluence in part through a surprisingly successful funeral parlor business. Their wealth afforded the Harlestons the comfort of chauffeurs tailored clothes and servants whose skin was darker than theirs. It also launched the family into a generation of glory as painters performers and photographers in the "high yellow" society of America's colored upper class. The Harlestons' remarkable one-hundred-year journey spans the waning days of Reconstruction the precious art world of the early 1900s the back alleys of the Jazz Age and the dawn of the civil rights movement. Enhanced by the recollections of the family's archivist eighty-four-year-old Edwina Harleston Whitlock -- whose bloodline the author shares THE SWEET HELL INSIDE features a portrait artist whose subjects included industrialist Pierre Du Pont; a black classical composer in the Lost Generation of 1920s Paris; an orphanage founder who created a famous brass band from the ranks of his abandoned waifs a number of whom went on to burgeoning careers in jazz; and a Harleston mistress who doubled as an abortionist. With evocative and engrossing storytelling Edward Ball introduces a cast of historical characters rarely seen before: cultured vain imperfect rich and black a family made up of eccentrics who defied social convention yet whose advantages could not protect them from segregation's locked doors a plague of early death and the stigma of children born outside marriage.

Morris, Edmund
DUTCH: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan
New York NY U.S.A.: Random House Inc. 1999. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This book the only biography ever authorized by a sitting President--yet written with complete interpretative freedom--is as revolutionary in method as it is formidable in scholarship. During thirteen years of obsessive archival research and interviews with Reagan and his family friends admirers and enemies Morris lived what amounted to a 'doppelganger' life studying the young "Dutch" the middle-aged Cold Warrior and the septuagenarian Chief Executive with a closeness and dispassion not to mention alternations of amusement horror and amazed respect unmatched by any other presidential biographer. New unread copy in fine mylar-protected dust jacket. 874 pp. BIOS1/A27/A58 <br/> <br/> Random House, Inc. hardcover
