Soft cover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. A nice, lightly handled First Edition copy of this very scarce title! Near fine in trade paperback -- clean and unmarked -- with no markings of any kind. First edition: one of 150 copies. Designed by Dave Wofford of Durham's Horse & Buggy Press. "Hickstown (now known as the Crest Street community in Durham, North Carolina) was the first community in the nation that stopped a highway from uprooting its neighborhood, and forced the city and state to have it relocated in its entirety. This book gives a unique glimpse into one North Carolina family's history -- the Booths -- from multiple perspectives. It shows what segregation and racism looked like to the African American people who experienced it. Yet it also demonstrates how the individuals in one family fought back and made a difference for their family and for their community." (131 pages.)

I don't think being an athlete is unfeminine. I think of it as a kind of grace." - Jackie Joyner-Kersee, from the rear outer jacket. "A Kind of Grace is a kind of courage and a kind of strength and a kind of beauty and a kind of hope.and a great deal of grace." - Frank Deford. "Powerful, evocative.a world-class effort." - Armen Keteyian, ABC News. "Grinding poverty.aching personal tragedy.withering discrimination.life-threatening disease .Jackie Joyner-Kersee has confronted them all - and triumphed.Jackie is known throughout the world as the best female athlete ever - the winner of six Olympic medals, three of them gold; the current world-record holder in the heptathlon (the women's version of the male decathlon); the one-time world record holder in the long jump; and an All-American basketball player. Until now, few have known of the chronic affliction that has nearly killed her three times, or the grueling sacrifices that have vaulted her to heights never before seen. She grew up in East St. Louis in a house "little more than wallpaper and sticks." Her parents were poor teenagers when they married. She made her first long-jump pit in her backyard from borrowed playground sand. One of her first performances went unrecorded because of the color of her skin. Yet Jackie not only had an innate ability to conquer speed and distance, but possessed an irrepressible personality and a deep, unshakable love of sport. As she harnessed her talents, Jackie began an amazing string of multi-sport successes. In the midst of it all, she would try to hold her family together after her mother's tragic early death (Mary was only 37), and face her own devastating grief. As she climbed the dizzing heights of international and Olympic competition, she would face relentless media attention that escalated when she married Bob Kersee, her enormously successful - and controversial - coach. As she reached her profession's peak, she would battle life-threatening asthma, unfounded accusations of drug-induced performance enhancement, and recurring injuries. Ultimately, she would unite her experience and determination to achieve the most meaningful victories of all - those that shape and build lives beyond the field. Written with honesty and humor, A Kind of Grace is a profoundly moving story of barriers overcome, wisdom gained - and steadfast "hope-in--progress." Few recent books - of any kind - have testified so eloquently to the power of following one's dreams." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Corsillo, George (jacket design); Lair, John (jacket photograph); Miller, Peter Read (back jacket photograph) (illustrateur). …

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book studies the remarkable evolution of printing technology during the latter part of the nineteenth century, particularly in regard to the artistic quality of printed work. The author traces the origins of the movement in America, where printing pioneers like Kelly and Bartholomew raised the standards of the industry. It then examines the influences of German and Austrian typography, exemplified in the work of figures like Watzulik and Knoer, and their impact on the development of British fine printing. The book illustrates how the innovations in type design, the improvements in printing machinery, and the introduction of new techniques such as halftone engraving, combined to revolutionize the possibilities of artistic expression in the printed word. The author argues that this development represents a significant turning point in the history of printing, transforming it from a purely mechanical process into a medium for high artistic achievement. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
