Good: Ex-library with remnants of call number to spine bookplate due cards and embossed stamp on title page; moderately shaken boards moderately worn with losses at spine tips ffep heavily notated. This is another copy of Love's History with several outstanding associations. A partially obscured inscription on the front pastedown shows that this particular copy was presented by R.R. Wright to D.C. Suggs. Richard Robert Wright Sr. who wrote part of the book's introduction was born into slavery in Georgia in 1855 and was valedictorian of the first graduating class of Atlanta University now known as the HBCU Clark Atlanta. He became an educator and newspaper editor who went on to serve as the first president of the Georgia Industrial College for Colred Youths GICCY the first public institution of higher learning for African Americans in the state. Under Wright's leadership GICCY hosted renowned lecturers including Booker T. Washington Mary McLeod Bethune and Mary Church Terrell. Wright later founded the first Black-owned bank in Philadelphia and co-founded the first organization of Black-owned banks in the country. The recipient of the book Dr. Daniel Cato Suggs was born in Wilson North Carolina in 1865. He was a wealthy Black businessman active in real estate and a teacher in the public school systems of North Carolina. He served as a professor at GICCY before being elected president in 1917 of Livingston College a private HBCU in Salisbury North Carolina noted for its strong affiliation with the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. This volume also contains a bookplate from Bennett College in Greensboro. Founded in 1873 as a normal school to educate freedmen and train both men and women as teachers Bennett is now a private HBCU liberal arts college for women. There is yet another interesting facet to this copy: the front free endpaper has two pages of handwritten notes regarding a speech given by David B. Hill in Savannah in 1892 as he was campaigning to be the Democratic candidate for United States President. We found the entirety of the speech's text in a newspaper account online and note the oddity of the possibility of a Southern African American attending a Democratic candidate' speech at that time. OCLC shows six holdings of the physical book over four entries. A unique copy with wonderful associations of Love's important history of the First African Baptist Church.

'Bessie Love has come into her own' said one of the entursisctic commentators. As a result of the artistry shown by Miss Love in this production greater interest than ever is being shown in her work. 'Forget-Me-Knot' was produced by Louis Burston. It was adapted to the screen by John B. Clymer from a story by Henry R. Symonds W.S. Van Dyke directed it. "Forget-Me-Not" was released in 1922.

The author's original text is unabridged, the readers (usually professional actors or broadcasters) are selected for the quality of their characterisations, the recordings are produced to high standards in Dolby stereo and the cassettes or discs are housed in robust 'diamond' packs. Not surprisingly, used sets are scarce and almost invariably ex-institutional copies. Sets in the present state and condition are very uncommon.

19478vo., First Edition; cloth, backstrip lettered in black and very lightly sunned at extreme head and tail, a very good, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter very lightly frayed at extremities. A PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR WITH HIS SIGNED HOLOGRAPH INSCRIPTION ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. John Paddy Carstairs (1910-1970), director and author, was a stalwart of the British film industry for over thirty years. Starting his career as assistant cameraman, he quickly progressed to writing screenplays (beginning with 'Honeymoon Adventure' in 1931) and directed his first feature in 1934. He is best known for 'The Chiltern Hundreds' (1949), the first (and hugely successful) Norman Wisdom comedy 'Trouble in Store' (1953) and numerous subsequent vehicles for Frankie Howerd, Tommy Steele, Charlie Drake and Bob Monkhouse. As a writer he produced a string of humorous and semi-autobiographical novels, of which the present work is regarded as among the finest. This copy was inscribed by Carstairs at Pinewood Studios during the making of 'The Big Money' (1956) produced by Joseph Janni and starring Ian Carmichael and Kathleen Harrison.
