Broder, David S. Behind the Front Page, A Candid Look at How the News is Made
New York, NY, U.S.A. Simon and Schuster 1987 0-671-44943-5 / 9780671449438 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine
Cream color paper on boards, black cloth on spine. Now in clear cover. Volume covers are tight as if not used. "As no other book has done, Behind the Front Page takes us inside the newsroom and out on the beat to show us how reporters do their jobs. Frank and uncompromising, Broder lays the news profession on the table, exposing its fralities, rallying to its successes and importance, and pointing a finger (sometimes at himself) when he thinks the working press has not lived up to its highest standards. Broder has covered every president from Eisenhower to Reagan and takes a discerning look at the press/president relationship. He takes us behind the scenes of Congress and shows that the press can often be overwhelmed by the innumberable stories there. He draws on his almost thirty years of experience at the top of his field to examine the ethical issues. David Broder's credentials are impeccable, and topping the list is the Pulitzer Prize won in 1973 for Distinguished Commentary."

Chase's study is based on extensive interviews with many of the finest artists and craftspeople in Hollywood today: screenwriters, editors, composers, sound mixers, costume designers, directors of photography, actors, among others. And in a conversation that spans the Old and the New Hollywood, several of the screen's best known producers offer their personal opinions of the producer's function in the creation of a film. Through the illuminating professional dialogues found in Filmmaking, the reader gets a clear understanding of the individual contributions which made these movies possible." Photographs with captions from the individual contributor to explain what was required from that scene, wonderful insight into the reasoning and to explain what the viewer was to see. Chapter One, The Producer; Chapter Two, The Screenwriter; Chapter Three, The Actor; Chapter Four, The Director of Photography; Chapter Five, The Production Designer; Chapter Six, The Costume Designer; Chapter Seven, The Script Supervisor; Chapter Eight, The Editor; Chapter Nine, The Composer; Chapter Ten, Special Effects, Special Surprises, Credits

Chase, Stuart (in collaboration with Marian Tyler Chase) Power of Words
New York, NY, U.S.A. Harcourt, Brace, and Company 1954 First Edition Hard Cover Good No Jacket
Black cloth on boards. Owners name on front pastedown. Volume has edge and corner wear, some light soiling and scuffs to covers. Now in protective cover. From the foreword "This book grew out of my earlier work, The Tyranny of Words; as the title indicates, that book was chiefly concerned with the misuse of language. The present book deals with the positive as well as the negative; power runs to both poles. Words are what hold society together. At the same time, words are responsible for untold and unnecessary conflict and misery. The subject is urgent because of growing problems in television, telephony, radar, atomic energy, cold-war propaganda, and dealing with allies in the free world." Somewhat dated in example, however the principles of communication are the foundation of our society.

Clavell, James The Children's Story
New York, NY, U.S.A. Delacorte Press / Eleanor Friede 1963 0-440-01242-2 / 9780440012429 Hard Cover Near Fine Good
Blue and White treated covers. Jacket has minor wear, some pressure marks, and what appears to be a slice mark that doesn't go all the way through the paper. Now in clear cover. From Wikipedia: "While a very short and simple story, it touches on many important concepts, such as freedom, religion, patriotism, etc. It is similar in nature to George Orwell's 1984 in its treatment of propaganda, control, and inter-generational warfare. Clavell was inspired to write this story after a talk with his six-year-old daughter just home from school. His daughter Michaela was explaining how she had learned the Pledge of Allegiance, and he was struck by the thought that, though she had memorized the pledge, she had no idea what many of the words meant. The power to use language as a weapon, as it is done all too effectively in the classroom of Clavell's story admonishes us to always make sure young minds truly understand what a word really means." [A frightening story, to add to all the things a parent worries about. Entirely plausible, subtle messages that surround our children everyday, messages that don't reflect the values of your parenting, or your home, or what you want for your family.]

Friendly, Fred W. Due to Circumstances Beyond Our Control
New York, New York, U.S.A. Random House 1967 First Printing Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket
Black cloth on boards. Volume has light wear to edges. Now in protective wrap. "This summarizes the dilemma of commercial television today and is the theme of this "occupational memoir" of Fred Friendly's sixteen years at the Columbia Broadcasting System. In partnership with [Edward R.] Murrow, or with others, he was responsible for such award-winning series as 'See It Now' and 'CBS Reports'. During his last two years with CBS, Mr. Friendly was president of the news division, and it was from this position that he resigned on February 15, 1966, in a dispute with the management over its decision to broadcast a fifth rerun of 'I Love Lucy' instead of Ambassador George Kennan's testimony in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's hearings on Vietnam."

Holmes, Geroge Fox, (Lt. Col. Indian Army) Compiled By: A Numerical Index of Chinese Names
1944 First Impression Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket Private Press
Blue paper on boards, treated red paper on spine. Owner name inked fep. Privately printed by The Calcutta General Printing Company Limited, in Calcutta, India. From the Preface: "Anyone who has experienced the difficulty of representing the sounds of Chinese names in English will recognise the need for some system which is accurate, and yet does not depend on the phonetic value or romanisation. The principle of representing characters numerically is approved by its simplicity, accuracy and usefulness. The present work is a selection of Chinese characters mostly found in the Giles Dictionary, and with the numerical representation used by Giles when arranging characters in their correct order. By the use of this book, kept within the smallest compass to be really useful, it is possible for those with no knowledge of the Chinese language to telephone, telegraph, and record on a document, nearly all of the Chinese names in current use."

Holt, John What Do I Do Monday?
New York, New York, USA A Delta Book : Dell Publishing Co., Inc. 1972 Fifth Printing Soft Cover Good No Jacket
Pictorial wraps. Volume has minor wear. Now in protective wrap. "This book is for teachers, for parents, for children or friends of children, for anyone who cares about education. It is about learning and above all some of the ways in which, in school or out, we might help children learn better and perhaps learn better ourselves. ... From my own experience, and that of children, and from books, I have come to see learning very differently, as a kind of growing, a moving and expanding of the person into the world around him. In the first part of this book I will try to share my vision of learning. To many, these ideas will be very new, strange, puzzling, or even wrong. But I am not trying to win an argument. I am seeing something in a new way and I want to help others see it, or at least look at it in that way."
