The Last Dream-O-Rama - The Cars Detroit Forgot to Build, 1950-1960

Lot # 9      

Very good condition, hardcover, ""When the postwar economic boom fostered such prosperity that easy credit allowed even hourly workers to plunge themselves hopelessly int...moreo debt, a brand-new car became an attainable dream for millions in the 1950s. And soon came dream cars to further stimulate their automotive saliva glands. By mid-decade, every American carmaker was parading its glittering glimpses of four-wheeled futurism before a dazzled public -- flights of styling fancy and functional wonderment blaring 'Headed for your driveway soon!' while mumbling, sotto voce, 'Don't hold us to it."

Very good condition, COMES WITH INTERESTING LETTER - from the family of one of the original illustrators of Wonder Woman - basically stating the family won't give anythin...moreg to the museum??? You can see the letter in the photographs - that's all there is. "She is STRONG. She is INVINCIBLE. She is WONDER WOMAN—the most popular super heroine of all time. Les Daniels honors her superhuman strength, her peace-seeking mission, and her fabulous outfits throughout the years. The unconventional Dr. William Moulton Marston originally created her as "psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should rule the world." And Wonder Woman—known to her friends as Diana—has triumphed for sixty years, whether battling evil fascists or ensnaring villains with her magic lasso. Filled with a fascinating array of archival comic book art."

CAMPAIGNING FOR PRESIDENT: Political Memorabilia From the Nation's Finest Private Collection

Lot # 15      

Very good condition large hardcover, "Based on the author's extraordinary personal collection of presidential election memorabilia, Campaigning for President tells the co...morelorful story of how presidents (and their losing rivals) have wooed voters since America was founded. These objects—from posters and paper dresses to ice-cream bars, sunglasses, and (of course) buttons—form a fascinating, moving, sometimes funny, sometimes outrageous physical record of the past. Campaigning for President makes it clear that money didn't become important just in recent elections and that candidates—and their minions—have sometimes been willing to gloss over the fine points or get very creative in their self-representation in attempts to win the presidency. Full of entertaining stories about the elections and the memorabilia, this book provides wonderful insight into America's most important achievement—our democratic system."

But as a black man, Benson faced even greater challenges, especially when it came to his duties, his shipboard status, and his interactions with the other men on board. In nineteenth-century America, thousands of black men served as sailors. What makes Benson distinctive is the detailed diary he kept, a fascinating narrative that documents his experiences and feelings."
