Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Poor. 8vo. Pp. xxiv, 25-322. Bound in full green cloth with black lettering stamped on spine. Fore-edge untrimmed. Very slight age-toning to leaves. In the illustrated dust jacket, which is defective: large chip on rear panel, rear flap nearly detached, old cello tape repairs on verso. Dust jacket is now enclosed in a removable, clear archival sleeve. A propaganda piece, published at the height of WWII, intended to belittle Hitler and warn the world of his Caesar-complex. Includes frank accounts of his sex life, peccadilloes, experiences with impotence and syphilis, his attraction to Jewish prostitutes, etc. We are uncertain whether the book addresses Hitler's purported monorchism, memorialized in the WWII British military song, "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball." The dust jacket designed by Irving Politzer captures the sensational-exploitative nature of the psychoanalytic study of Hitler's worldview, with special focus on his sexual inclinations. .

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. First printing of the first UK edition, published in 1934 - there was no US equivalent. A compilation of the works of Upton Sinclair provided for the British reader. ***Very good in black cloth-covered boards, with green titles to the spine and black titles on a green border to front board. The boards are clean and just slightly marked. There is a short split to the fragile cloth at the top of the spine, and some light vertical reading creases. The spine remains unfaded. Corners sharp. Spine tight. The edges of the page block are clean with hardly any foxing. Internally also very good with no inscriptions, just 'G 64' in ink on the top corner of the front pastedown. The internal pages are quite clean, with just a few handling marks. There is a top corner crease to page 69/70, and some light top corner creasing to pages 15-26. No dustwrapper. ***Contents - the book is split into two sections, after the Preface by Upton Sinclair and a 16pp Introduction by I. O. Evans - the first under the heading 'The Pure Artist', the second under the heading 'The Socialist'. Each contain numerous works by Sinclair on the topics of art, love, science, politics, history, religion and more. Illustrated. ***188mm x130mm. 328 pages including a detailed Bibliography and Index at the back of the book. ***'The occasion for this statement is that a tireless friend of my books in Britain persisted in the idea that his fellow countrymen would be interested in having a selection of his favourite passages therefrom; that a publisher who has been bravely publishing everything I have written for some twenty years agreed with him sufficiently to take a chance; and that both of them now have the idea that I ought to say something to my British readers on this special occasion. --- Social Justice, and the ending of every form of exploitation of man by man--that is the thing I have been writing about, over a period of almost forty years. (I began when I was fifteen, and I shall be fifty-five before this is put into type.) I have tried to make my meaning plain, so that the humblest can understand me. I have never found the least pleasure in being obscure, or in showing how superior I am to my readers. I think of a writer as a friend who is privileged to spread his friendship over the whole earth, by an art which is magical, and indeed the true priesthood of our time. I take my own clerical duties seriously, and the mail brings me, from every country of the world, proof that I have succeeded in making myself understood. (Taken from the author's preface) ***'Upton Sinclair Jr. (Sep 20, 1878 - Nov 25, 1968) was an American writer, muckraker, political activist and the 1934 Democratic Party nominee for governor of California who wrote nearly 100 books and other works in several genres. Sinclair's work was well known and popular in the first half of the 20th century, and he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1943. Many of his novels can be read as historical works. Writing during the Progressive Era, Sinclair describes the world of the industrialized United States from both the working man's and the industrialist's points of view. Novels such as "King Coal" (1917), "The Coal War" (published posthumously), "Oil!" (1927), and "The Flivver King" (1937) describe the working conditions of the coal, oil, and auto industries at the time. Sinclair was an outspoken socialist and ran unsuccessfully for Congress as a nominee from the Socialist Party. He was also the Democratic Party candidate for governor of California during the Great Depression, running under the banner of the End Poverty in California campaign, but was defeated in the 1934 election.'

With biographical Preface by Upton Sinclair on pages 3-8. Pages 15-117 feature 102 sonnets dedicated to Upton Sinclair's wife Mary Craig Kimbrough Sinclair, a gracious belle from Greenwood, Mississippi in whom George Sterling found inspiration as a muse and sought to marry before she met and wed author Upton in 1913. Despite the emotional heart-strings, Sterling became a close friend of the activist couple. A highly regarded but not well-known northern California poet and playwright, George Sterling was active in San Francisco and Carmel-by-the-Sea literary circles from 1890 until his death by suicide in 1926. Per the Upton Sinclair imprint, this copy should be the book's first edition as a trade or second edition was issued by New York publisher Albert & Charles Boni also in 1928.
