Item description from seller

Privately Published, 2015. SIGNED by the AUTHOR on the dedication page (his signature only, NOT personalized to anyone). NEW and unread in near PERFECT condition. The cover has only a tiny bit of very mild shelfwear (like you sometimes find in any new book store). NO chips, tears or fading. Bright and shiny. Flat, uncreased spine. Square and tight. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked - obviously never read. Photo illustrated. Bound in the original pictorial wraps. From the publisher: "In the story To Thee I See: From picking in the fields of Texas to cooking for dignitaries on U.S. Navy ships, a journey I wouldn't change, Arby Hambric chronicles his life from 1926-2015, when his early childhood years were plagued with surviving in a Jim Crow-era rural Texas, to how fighting in three wars in a segregated Navy turned out to be both rewarding and disheartening, but in spite of feeling overlooked after 20 years of service, he utilized the lessons learned to conquer public humiliation, overcome personal rejection, and challenge a broken political system. This book paints a true picture of deplorable restrictions to moments in history that have never been documented before, and provides a detailed analysis of the timeless wisdom that has been learned, exercised, and justified by Mr. Hambric. Which was worse, living in the deep-south during the Jim Crow-era or fighting in three wars for a segregated Navy? In To Thee I See, Arby Hambric narrates recounts of how the humiliation of merely surviving in the racist south and serving in a segregated Navy prepared him to battle illegal church activities, challenge unjust politics in his community, and overcome personal setbacks while continuing to seek the life his grandmother envisioned he was destined for -- one with meaning, purpose, and dignity.". SIGNED by the AUTHOR (his signature only). 1st ed? (No additional printings listed). Softcover. New condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 291pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. 1st ed? (No additional printings listed).

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
