Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition Thus. The Washington columnist Mary McGrory once wrote, " Since Harry Truman left town almost nobody has spoken his mind. Mr. Truman took the tradition of plain speaking back to Missouri with him."<br /><br />Fortunately for history, Merle Miller followed. In the early 1960s, as preparation for a ill-fated series of television series, Miller talked in complete frankness with the former president for hundreds of hours over several months. He also interviewed many people who had been close to Truman from his childhood in Independence, Missouri through his years in Washington. <br /><br />While the television programs never materialized, the book Miller composed from his unprecedented conversations offers an intimate and riveting portrait of one of America's most remarkable presidents, illuminating Truman's early political career and surprising path to the White House, as well as the critical events and momentous decisions that shaped his years in power. The subject's candid comments on the characters of Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon and others add a feisty edge to the reflections and opinions that enliven this rich, revealing book. <br /><br />All in all, this is a rare, human, and often very funny evocation of the life and times of an American president.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Seuss, Dr. (illustrator). Reprint. The uproarious 1931 New York Times bestseller is now back in print-beautifully redesigned to showcase the unmistakably brilliant original drawings by Dr. Seuss.What on earth is a boner? It's an outrageous mistake-and in Boners, the craziest and funniest ones ever made by schoolkids are collected for sheer fun. This brand-new edition of Boners, features the original artwork done by a young Theodor Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss. It is an exciting glimpse of the early work of an artist who would go on to become one of the greatest and most successful author-illustrators ever.Dr. Seuss's captivating drawings bring to life the silly and seriously misguided "facts" recited or written by young (and not so young) scholars-in-training. Here are a few of them-and yes, they are all real:The inhabitants of Moscow are called Mosquitoes.A vacuum is an empty space where the Pope lives.Milton wrote Paradise Lost; then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.A senator is half horse and half man.Dr. Seuss's whimsical illustrations include depictions of Polonius, the "mythical sausage," and how geometry teaches us "to bisex angels." With Seuss's own spin on these childish errors, they're even more laugh-out-loud funny.
