I am shipping an autographed copy of The Powers Girls by beauty expert John Roberts Powers, published in 1941, today.
I note the following: May of the Powers girls have married millionaires and amen of prominence in practically all the professions. While practically all of them look forward to marriage as the high point of their careers, they are more eager, as a rule, for a happy marriage than for a glamorous one….In the course of their work, they meet men in every field and they generally marry young business or professional men, the kind who form, after all, the backbone of the country.”
In case you were wondering what people were thinking in 1941.
After a slow few days, we sold four signed books today, which will be mailed out tomorrow.
The Road Warrior’s Strategy for Success by Richard Marcinko (why would anyone want this?, you ask)
The Craft of Intelligence by Allen Dulles (hard to find signed copy of book by first CIA director)
In Our Image by Stanley Karnow (history of America’s involvement with the Philippines by respected journalist/historian)
The Hunt for Tokyo Rose by Russell Warren Howe (relatively new, small press, hard to find book)
Maybe tomorrow I’ll replenish the stock a bit.
