First Edition (Number Line to 1). This was Daniel Bell's book. Daniel Bell and C. Wright Mills had a relationship between the early 40s and 1945 which ended due to a growing divide in the two sociologists political thinking (although Bell, in some penned notes on the blank rear end paper, cites the 'messy divorce from Freya and the court action' as the reason for the break). Dr. Bell did later write a short essay titled Vulgar Sociology: On C. Wright Mills and the 'Letter to the New Left'. But in early 1945 Bell had helped the Millses obtain an apartment on E. 11th St. in Manhattan in the same building in which the Bells resided. Included in the book is a receipt from amazon for the sale of the book to Dr. Bell. It was sent to his PO Box in Chilmark, Massachusetts in the year 2000. In the Acknowledgments section of the book Bell, along with a number of others, is thanked for providing copies of letters from his/their private collection. Bell is referenced on a number of pages. He also introduced Mills to Dwight Macdonald who is referenced on a number of pages. Daniel Bell didn't make too many markings in the book, in total 20 or so, lines at the margin of paragraphs and in some instances a few words or sentences beside them. As noted, he also made some comments on the rear blank end paper. Above them he underlined 'Bell + Mills.' The condition of the book, happily, doesn't require much verbiage. The covers are exceptionally clean. The gilt lettering on the spine very bright. The edges and corners are in excellent shape. The pages of perfectly clean. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well (at the juncture between the blank side of the half-title page and the title page a little of the paper has very slightly lifted up, nothing significant). The pages are in excellent shape, exceptionally clean, bright and free of creasing. There are no attachments, no stampings or markings. There is no other writing other than Dr. Bell's. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It is quite clean. There is a little bit of the clouding you often see on black surfaces as well as the vague white vertical lines that trace the change in the texture of the book. There are no tears. The flaps are in excellent shape. The jacket is not priced or clipped. From the dust jacket: 'A fiercely independent thinker with an ego as large as his vision, the 'angry sociologist' could also be self-critical, exuberant, lyrical, warm and humorous. Mills was a colorful, energetic letter writer; he discussed everything from politics, sociology, and the craft of writing, to motorcycles, house building, and his love life. With vivid immediacy and Millsian intensity, this volume charts his journey from Waco, Texas to New York City and his professorship at Columbia College, from political discussions in Greenwich Village to interviews with intellectual dissidents in Eastern Europe and the newly empowered revolutionaries in Cuba. Mills's letters to prominent figures-- including Saul Alinsky, Daniel Bell, Lewis Coser, Carlos Fuentes, Hans Gerth, Irving Howe, Dwight Macdonald, Robert K. Merton, Ralph Miliband, William Miller, David Reisman, and Harvey Swados-- are joined by his letters to family members, letter-essays to an imaginary friend in Russia, personal narratives by his daughters, and annotations drawing on published and unpublished material, including the FBI file on Mills. In a multifaceted and eloquent introduction to this collection, Dan Wakefield discusses his memories of Mills as well as the impact of Mills's work.'.…

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.…
