[just a touch of wear to book at spine ends, otherwise as-new; jacket is flawless].

Selznick Productions" stamped on bottom edge, both pastedowns and title page]. Very hard-to-find novel, about a young woman who becomes a cosmetics/makeup mogul. The "David O. Selznick Productions" stamps which adorn this book would indicate that it was being considered for movie production at one time, but there's no record of a finished film based on the book. (The author is possibly the same Michael Jackson who penned the 1933 California-set novel "Whistle for Me," although I have no hard evidence to support that.) .

Description:
Honolulu: Historic Buildings Task Force. Very Good. 1969. First Edition. Softcover. [scuffing and rubbing to covers, spine a bit faded]. Trade PB (B&W photographs, map) A survey of then-surviving landmark buildings in and around Honolulu, issued at a time when the importance of preserving historic architecture was only beginning to gain a toehold in the wider public consciousness. (The National Trust for Historic Preservation -- whose "first principle" is quoted in the book's introduction -- was established in 1949, but didn't officially acquire its first property until 1957, and wasn't really kicked into high gear until the passage by Congress of the National Historic Preservation Act in 1966.) Like many such putatively "outdated" guidebooks, the fascination and value in this one lies in the question it inevitably raises: how many of the buildings featured herein still survive, more than half a century later? If you live in Honolulu, that question… Read More

Novel about a charming half-French, half-English roue, described as a "boudoir slipper" (meaning one who slips in and out of boudoirs), who seduces his way all around Paris and the Riviera. The New York Times reviewer thought it "the kind of book to read in a deck chair and to cast over the left shoulder when finished." .

Story of a young man who, since childhood, has hated the sight of pain, and is considered a coward by his father. "When, despite his loathing of suffering, he is drawn into the War, his taut nerves give way and he becomes obsessed with the conviction that he himself will never be killed, but that he will be kept alive to watch others die around him. Ironically enough the Armistice is declared the day after he deserts from the Army. It is only then that life begins for Michael, and his fear-ridden and sensitive youth retreats into the background before new experiences of great moment -- love and independence as a wage earner in post-War Italy."… Read More
