Housed in a custom quarter leather and marbled papercovered clamshell case. Accompanied by 20 slips of paper originally laid into the book with holograph notes by Berlin.

A fascinating artifact a compositional tool from one of the greatest songwriters of all time and among them one of the few to write his own lyrics as well as music. Berlin wrote approximately 1500 songs during his long career many of them recognizable American standards such as "Alexander's Ragtime Band" his first hit in 1911 "Puttin' on the Ritz" "God Bless America" "Easter Parade" and "White Christmas." In addition he wrote the scores for 19 Broadway shows and 18 Hollywood films. By virtue of the endurance of his individual compositions his lasting influence on other musicians and the sheer length and breadth of his career Berlin occupies a singular position in the history of popular music.

1942réf. 57352NY: New Era Lithograph Co. 1942. First Edition. Signed on the rear cover by Larry Weill one of the "Girls" in the revue. "This Is The Army" is an American musical revue in two acts designed to boost morale in the U.S. during World War II with a book by James McColl and music and lyrics by Irving Berlin. It was produced by the U.S. Army on Broadway in 1942 with a cast of U.S. soldiers for the benefit of the Army Emergency Relief Fund. Insisting on racial integration Berlin was permitted to add African Americans into this play which he was not allowed to do in his earlier Yip Yip Yaphank musical during World War I. This was unconventional for the U.S. Army but still whites and African Americans did not appear on stage simultaneously. Sheet music from the revue is fairly common but the Souvenir Book is not.

2004réf. 2319102Cambridge: Cambridge University Press 2004. Hard Cover. Very Good/Near Fine. 6x2x9. Remainder mark ink mark on half-title page some ink underlining. 2004 Hard Cover. xlviii 755 pp. Isaiah Berlin is one of the towering intellectual figures of the twentieth century the most famous English thinker of the post-war era and the focus of growing interest and discussion. Above all he is one of the best modern exponents of the disappearing art of letter-writing. 'Life is not worth living unless one can be indiscreet to intimate friends' wrote Berlin to a correspondent. This first volume inaugurates a long awaited edition of his letters that might well adopt this remark as an epigraph. Berlin's life was well worth living both for himself and for the world. Fortunately he said a great deal to his friends on paper as well as in person. Berlin's letters reveal the significant growth and development of his personality and career over the two decades covered within them. Starting with his days as an eighteen year old student at St. Paul's School in London they cover his years at Oxford as scholar and professor and the authorship of his famous biography of Karl Marx. The letters progress to his World War II stay in the U.S. and finally his trip to the Soviet Union in 1945-6 and return to Oxford in 1946. "Emotional exploitation cannibalism which I think I dislike more than anything else in the world." To Ben Nicolson September 1937 "Valery delivered an agreeable but dull lecture here. He said words were like thin planks over precipices and if you crossed rapidly nothing happened but if you stopped on any of them and stared into the gulf you would get vertigo and that was what philosophers were doing." To Cressida Bonham Carter March 1939 "I never don't moralize." To Mary Fisher 18 April 1940 "I only feel happy when I feel the solidarity of the majority of people I respect with and behind me." To Marion Frankfurter 23 August 1940 "Certainly no politics are more real than those of academic life no loves deeper no hatreds more burning no principles more sacred." To Freya Stark 12 June 1944 "Nobody is so fiercely bureaucratic or so stern with soldiers and regular civil servants as the don disguised as temporary government official armed with an indestructible superiority complex." To Freya Stark 12 June 1944 "My view on this is that you will not find life in the country lively enough for persons of your temperament. Life in the country in England depends entirely on a motor cars b rural tastes. As you possess neither it is my considered view that apart from a weekend cottage or something of that sort life in the country would bore you stiff within a very short time." To his parents 31 January 1944 "This country is undoubtedly the largest assembly of fundamentally benevolent human beings ever gathered together but the thought of staying here remains a nightmare." To his parents 31 January 1944 "I am a hopeless dilettante about matters of fact really and only good for a column of gossip if that." To W. J. Turner 12 June 1945 "England is an old chronic complaint: every day in the afternoon in the left knee and the left leg below the kneecap tiresome annoying not bad enough to go to bed with probably incurable and madly irritating but not necessarily unlikely to lead to a really serious crisis unless complications set in."
