About This Item
Garden City: Doubleday, 1967. Later printing. Hardcover. Fine/near fine. Octavo, 378pp. A fine, crisp copy in a near fine dust jacket with mild edgewear. A significant association copy, SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Mrs. Evers on the half-title page to Eugene McCarthy: "To Senator Eugene McCarthy -- with admiration, deep respect -- with sincere thanks for your efforts in my Congressional Campaign. Myrlie Evers. September 11, 1970." Evers, who was the widow of assassinated Civil Rights activist Medgar Evers, was in the middle of an unsuccessful bid for a Congressional seat when she wrote this inscription. McCarthy had been the banner candidate of the left wing of the Democratic Party during the hotly contested 1968 Presidential Primary (Johnson was not seeking re-election due to the turmoil in Vietnam). McCarthy's candidacy lost steam after Bobby Kennedy entered the race, and did not regain momentum after Kennedy's assassination. A meaningful association copy.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
