New York: The Bookmailer Inc, 1959. 1st edition. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket (as issued). Near VG. 8vo, ~128pp, laminated fabric covers. The rare trade paper edition of this pseudonymous 1959 novel (usually encountered in a smaller format), which has been plausibly attributed to far-right scholar Revilo P. Oliver (who was an important figure in the John Birch Society when this was published). It was definitely the epistolary model on which The Turner Diaries by William Pierce was based, and thus provides an important link between the Eisenhower-era Right and its more militant successors (Oliver split from the Birch Society in 1966 and went on to be closely associated with the National Alliance). This was a publication of far-right publisher Lyle H. Munson. Owner name to front free endpaper (no other markings); else unmarked with some cover soil/toning, spine tilt, reading wear and a few minor interior stains.

The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
