This is a rather unique offering. This is a guide for listeners of a radio program in 1940 and 1941 on NBC radio. The show featured the homes of famous creative Americans, from Brunswick Maine to Hollywood, California. The guide has a page of text about the person and home with a photograph of the home on the facing page. 33 programs were broadcast in that season, including the homes of luminaries such as Noah Webster, Mark Twain, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Horatio Alger, Booker T. Washington, Edith Wharton, Benjamin Franklin, and 26 others. When the listener ordered this book, it came with a letter from the host, which is contained in this book, in pristine condition. (See photos) The book shows very little wear. This is not a reprint or POD.

Very little wear. Or less. Back before there was the Far Side, there was Charles Addams, taking our sense of humor in completely unexpected directions in a single panel comic motif.

Here is a reprint of a classic collection of Addams' work, in near new condition. Twenty years after publication, this book has become rather rare and highly valued. And ready to join your collection. Originally published in 1970.

Part III: The Untold Tale of Newman's Own, with four stories of their philanthropy, with photos and music.
As it states right after the copyright page: "All the recipes in this book have been tested by preparing them and serving them to people with fussy appetites, who have consumed then with relish." (But, presumably, without mustard - MV)

A movie book from the 1950s. The book chronicles the making of a movie about a round trip by a large sailing ship from Oslo to the Americas and back. The front endpaper illustrates the route taken by the ship Christian Radich, a trip of 17,500 miles. The rear endpaper is a three panel fold-out image of the ship in New York Harbor.
