Spoto, Donald Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis: A Life
St Martin's Press 2000 0312246501 / 9780312246501 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Appears unread. Stated First Edition. Tight spine - Bright pages. Illustrated with photos. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 348 pages. She was America's sweetheart; the embodiment of grace, elegance, style, charm, and-as the world discovered in late 1963-bravery. And though much has been written about the most famous woman of the 20th century, no biography has revealed the true Jackie; none has successfully separated the truth from the lies, or portrayed the Queen of Camelot in all her complexity-until now. With access to Jackie's own writings, the archives of the John F. Kennedy Library, and those who knew her best, bestselling celebrity biographer Donald Spoto illuminates Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and the sixty-five years of her life with candor, compassion and compelling detail. Readers will discover: * The early years: a privileged but lonely childhood that shaped Jackie's resilience and poise, working as a photojournalist for the Washington Times-Herald, and meeting a handsome congressman named Kennedy * Life as the first lady: dealing with Jack's infidelity, adjusting to life in the spotlight, and her influence on the policies of the Kennedy Administration * Mrs. Onassis: life after Jack, marrying the Greek tycoon, her accomplished career as a book editor, her final days, and much more

Spoto, Donald Madcap: The Life of Preston Sturges
Little Brown & Company 1990 0316807265 / 9780316807265 First Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Fine
A photo of this book is available. Stated First Edition. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Remainder mark on bottom (outside page edges). NO price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $19.95. Tight spine, bright pages. Illustrated with photos. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. From Publishers Weekly One of our most influential filmmakers, Sturges (1898-1959) paved the way for the likes of Orson Welles, Billy Wilder and Woody Allen, among others, not only in terms of cinematic style but as a screenwriter who earned the privilege of sole control over his projects. The first writer in cinema to direct his own work ( The Great McGinty , which earned Sturgis an Academy Award for best original screenplay in 1941), he also added the title of producer to his credits, most notably for his comedic masterpiece, Sullivan's Travels (1942), a quasi-autobiographical story about the need for laughter in the midst of adversity, considered by cultists to be one of the best films ever made. Spoto ( The Dark Side of Genius: The Life of Alfred Hitchcock ) has done his homework; the detail-filled book makes a major contribution to the study of American film. Insight and narrative flair, however, are where this effort falls short. Sturges, who was raised in Europe by an eccentric mother (and her even more flamboyant friend, Isadora Duncan), led a life more emotionally complicated and colorful than most characters found in fiction.

Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $27.50. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Dustcover is clean and bright, shows 1 very-small, close tear on back-bottom. Tight spine, bright pages. 477 pages. Illustrated with photos. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis: After a veritable avalanche of books on this or that member of the contemporary Royal Family of Great Britain, here at last we have the entire Windsor tapestry - a dramatic, colorful, intimate, sometimes poignant, and often shocking family history. The Decline and Fall of the House of Windsor is in fact a compelling album of portraits - the first book to tell the whole story of the family that has occupied the British throne from the reign of Queen Victoria to the time of Queen Elizabeth II. Annotation: The New York Times bestselling biographer of Marilyn Monroe and Alfred Hitchcock tells all about the world's most fascinating royal family. From the days of Queen Victoria to the current troubled reign, the entire Windsor tapestry, threaded with crisis and haunting scandal, unfolds here. Presented with candor, wit and compassion, this is a surprising portrait of a family that, although royal, is just as troubled as any other.
