Sophisticated, fine binding has four raised ridges on spine. Lettering, designs stamped with gorgeous accents of 22kt. gold - a hallmark of fine bookmaking.

In 1961, Sylvia Plath began the story of Esther Greenwood, a gifted American and college coed trapped in the airless bell jar of 1950's womanhood. Tumbling into madness and attempting suicide, Esther is institutionalized and treated with psychotherapy and electro-shock therapy. She recovers, having no answers but aware of her own confusion and rage. Part of the story is about Plath's own 1953 breakdown, attempted suicide and recovery. This book, The Bell Jar, became an influential cult classic - it became pioneering and profound. Today the story stands on its own as a monumental achievement and a classic of modern literature, according to the publisher.

Fillmore: Although not blessed with brilliance, charisma, or dramatic flair, he could nonetheless be eloquent, such as in his compelling plea to Congress to effect a compromise that would thwart the secession of the southern states. When Congress responded, the President signed the Compromise of 1850 into law. The measure postponed civil war for more than a decade. Although unexplained and unfortunate, most of the official papers of Fillmore's administration were destroyed. What remained, the author, Robert J. Rayback, was able to piece together to give documented substance to Fillmore and his three years in office. Rayback's portrayal lauds Fillmore's astuteness and assays his faults. One professor concludes from the book that "without Fillmore there could have been no Lincoln." A historical book. Leather bound and very collectible.

In Reagan's memoirs, he constantly reminds the reader that he arrived at his political and economic beliefs through personal experience - not through "book learning," political apprenticeship, or the advisement of policy makers - and that he is proud of it. Furthermore, his success as California Governor convinced him that he had both the policies and personal ability to govern the nation. He brought a tough but optimistic vision to the American public - a vision he clearly believes is as valid today as it was in 1980.

This is a clean, fresh reprint of the classic World War II story, God is My Co-Pilot, originally issued during World War II in 1943. The author, Colonel Robert L.
