A propos de cet article

Kuhn was the first reporter to broadcast from a United States Navy vessel, probably the first woman radio announcer, and the first western reporter to broadcast from liberated Shanghai. Kuhn wrote for the Chicago Tribune, New York Daily News, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Shanghai’s Evening Star, and was the first woman to write for the Stars and Stripes. She also wrote scripts and columns for production companies including Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Paramount. In the 1920s, Kuhn reported on Charles Lindbergh, the Hall-Mills and Snyder-Gray murder cases, the Frances Heenan and Edward West Browning scandal, and the murder trial of reporter Leonard Cline. During the 1940s, Kuhn became much more conservative, and served as the associate director of publicity for the Republican National Committee during Wendell Wilkie and Thomas E. Dewey’s presidential bids in 1940 and 1944, respectively. Kuhn also contributed to many magazines, including Reader’s Digest, Town and Country, Cosmopolitan, and Good Housekeeping. Octavo. 432 pp. Publisher’s green cloth titled in gilt. Binding is bright and attractive. In the original color-printed dust jacket, a bit chipped (very good). Some toning to endpapers and margins.

Description de la boutique

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, history of science, history of computers, and art. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietors: Michael R. Thompson, Kathleen D. Thompson, Carol Sandberg…
