Very Good+ in Wraps: shows very light wear to the extremities, a little heavier along the lower edge of the front panel; mild rubbing and the faintest toning to the wrapper covers; the titles at the back strip appear to be very lightly sunned, blanching them a bit; binding shows the slightest reverse lean, while remaining perfectly secure; text clean. Structurally sound and tightly bound; remains quite presentable and with a clean text. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 206pp. First Windhover Edition. Translated by Howard Hibbett. Trade Paperback. This little novel, though economical in size and language, is a monument to the Japanese ideal of "less is more". Kawabata's prose is highly musical and amazingly crafted. His eloquent, often delightful truths seem to bring the reader's attention to the essence of life, nature, and human nature. Beauty in the purest sense of the word.

Trade Paperback. Speak, Memory, first published in 1951 as "Conclusive Evidence" and then assiduously revised in 1966, is an elegant and rich evocation of Nabokov's life and times, even as it offers incisive insights into his major works, including Lolita, Pnin, Despair, The Gift, The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, and The Luhzin Defense. One of the twentieth century's master prose stylists, Vladimir Nabokov was born in St. Petersburg in 1899. He studied French and Russian literature at Trinity College, Cambridge, then lived in Berlin and Paris, where he launched a brilliant literary career. In 1940 he moved to the United States, and achieved renown as a novelist, poet, critic, and translator. He taught literature at Wellesley, Stanford, Cornell, and Harvard. In 1961 he moved to Montreux, Switzerland, where he died in 1977. "When he is writing about someone or something he loves , he is irresistible; when he is writing about someone or something he despises, he can manage to enlist one's sympathies, if only momentarily, for the object of his contempt.".

Book First Edition
Trade paperback. Condition: Good. First Perigee printing [stated]. 112 pages. Illustrations. Cover has some wear and soiling. The first Yankee-haters were New Yorkers. They were fans of the New York Giants, who preceded the Yankees in town and earned the devotion of local baseball fans. Giant fans had reason to look down on the rest of baseball, and they viewed the Yankees with contempt. Under Manager John McGraw, the Giants won six pennants while the Yankees were still floundering after their first. When the Yankees finally bought their first pennant, in 1921, they found themselves facing the lordly Giants in the World Series. The Giants won that Series, five games to three. The Giants and Yankees won pennants again the next season, and the Giants swept that World Series, four games to none.By that time, hatred of the Yankees was fanning across America like a sweet spring breeze, nowhere more than in Boston. There, the Red Sox owner, Harry Frazee, had ripped apart a championship team, position by position, in exchange for Yankee gold. When the Yankees won their first world championship in 1923, their roster listed 11 former Red Sox stars, including Babe Ruth. Boston fans were not the only ones with reason to hate the Yankees. In 1922 the St. Louis Browns, of all people, fought the Yankees tooth and nail all season. In what was already becoming a tradition, the Yankees tipped the pennant race in their favor on July 23 by acquiring Joe Dugan, a star third baseman, from - guess who? - the Red Sox. St. Louis fans were incensed. The Chamber of Commerce adopted a resolution denouncing the Yankees for lack of sportsmanship. When the Yankees came to St. Louis for a decisive series in mid-September, Brownie fans were waiting. Sportsman's Park was sold out and fans stood behind ropes in the outfield.As America has grown and prospered, expressions of hatred toward the Yankees have flared in every city, in every era. Time and Yankee propaganda have had a softening effect on history, leaving the impression that Americans used to love the Yankees and root them on. Not so; fans have always turned out to root against the Yankees, not for them. Some fans have braved great personal risk, like the hero in Washington who decided that someone had to stop Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak in 1941. This selfless man vaulted onto the field between games of a doubleheader in old Griffith Stadium and made off with DiMaggio's favorite bat.After the Yankees beat the White Sox, 18-2, in Chicago one June day in 1953, a Chicago waiter refused to serve Casey Stengel, and a cabdriver threatened a kamikaze crash knowing he would die, but so would the creatures who had crawled into his cab -Yogi Berra, Joe Collins and Charlie Silvera of the Yankees.These days, hatred, like other things, is better organized. Pete Franklin, a popular sports talk-show host on radio station WWWE in Cleveland, staged his first ''Hate the Yankees Hanky Night'' on Sept. 5, 1977. Many veteran players feel the same way. Charlie Gehringer, a Hall of Fame second baseman who helped the Detroit Tigers win pennants in 1934, 1935 and 1940, is cheerfully incredulous when approached on the subject. ''Who do I root for? You mean who do I root against. The Yankees!'' This material was excerpted from ''The Official New York Yankee Hater's Handbook'' published by Perigee/Putnam by William B. Mead.
