About This Item

Franklin Center, PA: The Franklin Library, 1988. First Edition 1st Printing. Full-Leather. Very Fine/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. De Felice, Ronald. Signed by author in blue fountain ink on second blank page. Recounts Salisbury's experiences as a journalist, providing an insider's views on many key personalities and events of the past three decades. Harrison E. Salisbury was a long time reporter and editor at The New York Times. Earlier in his career he had worked for the United Press, which he joined after earning a B.A. at the University of Minnesota in 1930. He began his career in journalism as a part-time reporter for the Minneapolis Journal during 1928-29. Although he served in many different positions and places during his long career at the Times, Mr. Salisbury is perhaps most famous for his work as Moscow correspondent, covering the U.S.S.R. during the early years of the Cold War. After serving as the Times' Moscow Bureau Chief from 1949 to 1954, he returned to the U.S. and wrote a series of articles for which he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1955. He spent a great deal of time concentrating on Asia during his later years at the Times, covering the Vietnam War as well as many different issues and events having to do with China. Handsome bronze and gilt decorations stamped on dark blue leather boards and spine, with three raised bands on spine, marbled endpapers, sewn-in silk ribbon and unmarked, full gilt edges. Frontispiece portrait of the author illustrated in black-and-white by artist Ronald De Felice. Very fine, as issued s, without dust jacket. NF39

About Joe Staats, Bookseller

Modern Literature, Mysteries, and More!
We specialize in collectible, contemporary signed first editions. First edition means the first printing. (Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person. All our books are hardcover, unless the book is an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or PBO. You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise
