A propos de cet article

First Edition (NAP). One of only a few hardcovers for sale on the Internet. Once listed, this will be the Only signed copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. It is signed and inscribed by the co-author John B. Donovan. The inscription reads simply 'To Bill Kelly, John B. Donovan.' The book is in very good condition. You can see the covers in the photos. The gilt lettering on the front and on the spine is nicely bright. The cover edges and corners are in very good shape, no rubbing. There are a couple of small light spots on both the front and rear cover. There's also a little bit of crinkling off the top and bottom edges of the front and rear side of the spine, and a tiny crease under the top corner of the rear cover. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean and bright. Scrolling through, I haven't found any soiling. The white inside covers and end papers are also very clean. The pages are in excellent condition. I'm not seeing any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases, no turned-down corners. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no writing, other than the signed inscription. There are a good number of black and white photographs. They are all in excellent condition. The dust jacket is in solid shape. It is very clean. It has the same crinkling off the top and bottom edges just adjacent to the spine. There is also one tiny tear off the front top edge and one tiny tear off the rear top edge. The flaps are very clean. The jacket will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the dust jacket: 'After the Bay Of Pigs details for the first time the efforts of the Cuban Families Committee, her Coordinator, Berta Barreto de los Heros, and famed negotiator James B. Donovan, over a 20-month period to negotiate the release of the POWs of the 1961 exiled invasion of Cuba. It chronicles the roller-coaster negotiations and the delicate political relationships prevalent in the early years of Castro's regime and towards the end of JFK's presidency. It is the story not only of the heroic effort that resulted in the dramatic release of 1,113 prisoners on Christmas Even 1962, following the first delivery of the agreed- upon $53 million in food, medicine, and surgical equipment, negotiated for their release, but also details how Donovan and Berta were able to negotiate the exit of another group of 7,677 Cuban citizens aboard the very same ships and planes chartered by the American Red Cross to deliver their cargo to Havana. Readers will understand the tense political context that met Donovan (famous for negotiating the release in the early months of 1962 of Francis Gary Powers whose U-2 spy plane was shot down by the USSR) after being recommended to the prisoner's families by then-Attorney General, Robert F. Kennedy to dive into the negotiations on behalf of the Cuban Families Committee.'. …

Description de la boutique

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
