Illustrated endpapers. The Dedication page reads: Alfred E. Smith will be remembered for many things, but perhaps most of all for his good works and simple words. This compilation, documented from his public life in his own language, is affectionately dedicated to his memory be a family who enjoyed the privilege of knowing him. Alfred Emanuel Smith (December 30, 1873 – October 4, 1944) was an American politician who served four terms as Governor of New York and was the Democratic Party's candidate for president in 1928. Smith served in the New York State Assembly from 1904 to 1915 and held the position of Speaker of the Assembly in 1913. Smith also served as sheriff of New York County from 1916 to 1917. He was first elected governor of New York in 1918, and was elected governor again in 1922, 1924, and 1926. Smith was the foremost urban leader of the Efficiency Movement in the United States and was noted for achieving a wide range of reforms as New York governor in the 1920s. Incumbent Republican Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover was aided by national prosperity and the absence of American involvement in war, and he defeated Smith in a landslide in 1928. Smith sought the 1932 Democratic presidential nomination but was defeated by Franklin D. Roosevelt, his successor as Governor of New York. Smith then entered business in New York City, became involved in the construction and promotion of the Empire State Building. More

A first day of issue cover or first day cover (FDC) is a postage stamp on a cover, postal card or stamped envelope franked on the first day the issue is authorized for use within the country or territory of the stamp-issuing authority. There will usually be a first day of issue postmark, frequently a pictorial cancellation, indicating the city and date where the item was first issued, and "first day of issue" is often used to refer to this postmark. Postal authorities may hold a first day ceremony to generate publicity for the new issue, with postal officials revealing the stamp, and with connected persons in attendance. The ceremony may also be held in a location that has a special connection with the stamp's subject. The postmark is one of the most important features of a cover. Stamps are canceled by a postmark, which shows they have been used and can’t be reused. More

New York: Sheridan House, 1949. First edition thus (updated from 1932 version). Hardcover. 256 pages. Some soiling inside the boards. Cover has some wear. Mae West wrote, produced and starred as Diamond Lil and toured from coast to coast. In 1949 she came back to Broadway. The play was based upon this book. James Watts, Jr., the scholarly dramatic writer of the New York Post, wrote that "Miss West is now a legend and an institution, rather than just an actress, and Diamond Lil is an American Phenomenon, instead of merely a drama. She and it are...modern classics." Her 1928 play, Diamond Lil, about a racy, easygoing, and ultimately very smart lady of the 1890s, became a Broadway hit and cemented West's image in the public's eye. This show had an enduring popularity and West successfully revived it many times during her career. She brought her character, now renamed "Lady Lou", to the screen in She Done Him Wrong (1933). More
