A propos de cet article

First Printing Book Club Edition of The Secrets of Long Life by Dr. George Gallup, founder of the Gallup Poll, and Evan Hill. Published in 1959 by Bernard Geis Associates and distributed by Random House. This influential mid-century work applies Gallup Poll methodology to the study of longevity, health, and life expectancy and includes the complete original multi-page longevity questionnaire. This copy is SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY CO-AUTHOR EVAN HILL, with a dated inscription (1961) on the front matter. The inscription is clearly written in Hill’s hand and is contemporaneous with the book’s publication period, representing an authentic authorial signature rather than later ownership markings. Signed copies of this title are uncommon, particularly with clear attribution to Evan Hill. The book is bound in red cloth with yellow spine lettering. The binding is tight and square, with clean interior pages showing light, even age toning consistent with the period. No pages are missing, and the questionnaire section is intact. The book retains its original bright yellow dust jacket, designed by Paul Bacon. The jacket shows moderate edge wear with small chips and short tears at the spine ends, along with light surface soiling, but remains attractive and well-preserved for a 1959 jacket. The jacket is now protected. A solid, collectible signed example of a notable mid-century social science and health title associated with early Gallup research. Condition Book: Very Good Dust Jacket: Very Good Signed: Yes — signed and inscribed by Evan Hill (dated 1961) Edition Statement First Printing. Book Club Edition (Book-of-the-Month Club catalog no. 60-10126). Published by Bernard Geis Associates; distributed by Random House.…

Description de la boutique

Welcome to The Hidden History of Books, where every volume has a story waiting to be rediscovered. As a retired librarian with a background in scholarly research and book provenance, I specialize in rare books and first editions that span all genres — from the overlooked and obscure to the culturally iconic. My inventory is carefully sourced from estate sales and private collections, with a focus on books that carry the quiet weight of time, ownership, and intellectual legacy. I believe a book’s value lies not just in its content or rarity, but in the lives it has touched along the way — authors, owners, annotators, and collectors. That belief informs everything I do. You can count on: Conservative grading — no surprises, no exaggerations. I highlight flaws openly and describe condition with care. Detailed listings with a focus on historical and bibliographic context when available. Fast, safe shipping using USPS Media Mail and secure packaging to protect your purchase. Whether you’re a collector, a scholar, or a fellow lover of forgotten shelves, I invite you to browse the catalog and uncover the hidden histories that live between the covers.…
