First Printing. 18 cm, 163, wraps, covers somewhat worn, soiled, and creased, some page discoloration The heartwarming personal correspondence of Ronald Reagan as Governor of California, compiled by his secretary. This collection is extraordinary because it reveals Governor Reagan in his own words, unscreened by authors or publicists. In a time when many people cynially assume that public men are different in their private lives from what they are in public, it is heartening to find that Ronald Reagan is the same person with friends as well as strangers. Foreword by James Cagney. More
New York, N.Y. Simon & Schuster, 2005. Third Printing, Stated. Hardcover. [12], 258, [2] pages. Illustrations. Preface, Four Chapters, and Acknowledgments. Her book Assassination Vacation (2005) describes a road trip to tourist sites devoted to the murders of presidents Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield and William McKinley. In this book, Sarah Vowell exposes the glorious conundrums of American history and culture with wit, probity, and an irreverent sense of humor. She takes us on a trip like no other--a journey to the pit stops of American political murder, and through the myriad ways they have been used for fun and profit, for political and cultural advance. From Buffalo to Alaska, Washington to the Dry Tortugas, Vowell visits locations immortalized and influenced by the spilling of politically important blood, reporting as she goes with her trademark blend of wisecracking humor, remarkable honesty, and thought-provoking criticism. We learn about the jinx that was Robert Todd Lincoln (present at the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley) and witness the politicking that went into the making of the Lincoln Memorial. Though the themes of loss and violence are explored, and we see how the Republican Party became the Republican Party, there are lighter diversions along the way into the lives of the three presidents and their assassins, including mummies, show tunes, mean-spirited totem poles, and a nineteenth-century biblical sex cult. While most of the book is devoted to the assassinated presidents, Vowell intersperses anecdotes of her self-proclaimed "pilgrimage" of presidential assassinations, including a production of the musical Assassins.

Boston, MA: Little, Brown, 1995. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. 24 cm, 232 pages. Illus., index. Signed by the author (Governor Weicker). Weicker took very courageous stands during the Nixon Watergate hearings as a Republican Senator and later as Connecticut's (independent) Governor. Lowell Palmer Weicker Jr. (May 16, 1931 – June 28, 2023) was an American politician who served as a U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, and the 85th Governor of Connecticut. Weicker unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for president in 1980. One of the first Republican members of Congress to express concerns about President Richard Nixon's role in the Watergate scandal, Weicker developed a reputation as a "Rockefeller Republican", eventually leading conservative activists to endorse his opponent Joe Lieberman, a New Democrat, in the 1988 Senate election which he subsequently lost. Weicker later left the Republican Party, and became one of the few third-party candidates to be elected to a state governorship in the United States at the time, doing so on the ticket of A Connecticut Party. Weicker published a memoir entitled Maverick in 1995, co-written with Barry Sussman. The following year, he joined the board of directors for Compuware. In 1999, he became a member of the board of directors for the World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE), and held this position until 2011. More
