1986ref. 50310Chicago: Bonus Books Inc 1986. Paperback. Folio. Stiff black 2-part report binder with 2-prong metal clasp. Ca. 200pp rectos only. Near fine. Unusual author-corrected galley proof of one of the nearly two dozen books penned by the staunchly Democratic bowtie and horn-rimmed glasses wearing Illinois representative 1975-85 and senator 1985-97 whose style and image briefly charmed the American public and almost captured the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination. Simon 1928-2003 a one-time journalist before launching into Illinois politics and a legislative career published his first book "Lovejoy: Martyr to Freedom" in 1964 and his influential "Lincoln's Preparation for Greatness: The Illinois Legislative Years" in 1965; he peppered his career in Congress with many topical volumes on the American political situation -- of which "Let's Put America Back to Work" published 1987 was a typical example. This galley proof bears occasional editorial queries penned in red ballpoint for Simon's consideration; mostly it bears dozens of Simon's corrections changes and deletions in black fineline often of a minor grammatical nature that show his attention to detail. Several times he crosses out small sections and an inserted page gives a corrected sentence he cranked out on a manual typewriter; other times he changes a word or phrase; some pages survived unscathed and unmarked. Laid in is a Typed Note Signed from Simon which accompanied this proof copy 1p 8½" X 11" Washington DC 22 July 1986. Addressed to publisher Aaron Cohodes. Near fine. On "United States Senate" letterhead Simon mentions a few details about this book with its publisher including his thought on the title change from his original "Rebuilding Opportunity in the United States": "The title doesn't send me but I don't have a better suggestion." Signed simply "Paul." This unique galley proof is fascinating and unusual giving insight into Simon's thought process. Bonus Books, Inc paperback
