Best.-Nr. 03693Washington D. C.: Mrs. Agnes Waters. Unbound wrappers as issued; 1 165-171 pp. Waters' reprint of her own testimony before Congress in 1947 as published in the Congressional Record. In her statement she opposes Bill S. 938 Foreign Aid to Greece and Turkey on the grounds that it's "another Jewish trap" and encourages what must have been her very amused listeners to "expel the Jews and deliver America." Each page is peppered with patriotic and anti-Semitic quotations and quips. A nice example of Waters' inveterate anti-Semitism coupled with her flare for self-promotion. Vertical crease from folding with some light rubbing and occasional soiling to wrappers. Washington, D. C.: Mrs. Agnes Waters unknown

Best.-Nr. 025417Thorp Springs Press Austin TX. 1984. Octavo. 136 pages. Signed by the author on the half title page. As Paul Foreman writes: this work is worthy of the others such as Masked Gods Man Who Killed the Deer and Book of the Hopi. It is a novel of a search for gold: both the yellow gold you can hold in your hand the golden elixir of a woman's love and when in the most threatening part of the desert--water. Wellman writes: "If Melville is the great American prophet of the sea and the men who go down to the sea in ships then Frank Waters must be accorded the role of the priest of the land who has listened closest and recorded most faithfully the spirits of the land especially the Southwest." Bound in red cloth lettered and decoratively stamped in gilt spine lettering gilt near fine in near fine pictorial dust jacket. (Thorp Springs Press, Austin, TX. 1984) unknown
