Soft cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. States ""First Printing, May, 1956." No. 710 of a Limited, Signed Edition of 750 copies, signed in red ink "Dalton Trumbo" immediately below the limitation. Trumbo -- a member of the "Hollywood 10" -- protests the "Smith Act" prosecutions of current or former officers of the Communist Party. A couple of the pages remain unopened; this 108-page, stapled pamphlet, despite being age-toned to edges, would probably grade "very good" save for the inch-and-a-half triangular dampstain to lower outside corner of the wraps (impinges NO text to interior.) An important artifact of the "Red Scare" era. Trumbo signatures are sought-after. Reduced from $570. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First Edition. 1st edition, 1st printing, limited, no. 683 of 750 signed by Trumbo in red ink. There was also an unsigned issue for those who used the request form at the back of this issue to purchase more. Staple bound, stiff printed wrappers with some toning to the edges, else near fine. This is an essay by Trumbo inwhich he describes the conviction of 14 California Communists under the Smith Act of 1940. The 14 defendants were not accused of any illegal act, but rather of conspiring to "teach and advocate the violent overthrow of the government of the United States." Though they had not actually done this, but it was alleged that they were planning the revolutionary education at some future date. In the Late 1940s Trumbo was in the first group of Hollywood blacklistings, and among the first from Hollywood to be called to testify before HUAC.

First Edition
First edition. 8vo, 42pp; printed card wrappers, stapled. This is Trumbo's essay protesting the conviction of 14 California socialists and union activists under the Smith Act, which charged them with advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government. This is one of 750 numbered copies signed by Trumbo -- there were also unsigned copies -- as part of an appeal for donations to aid in the legal defense. Despite its relatively generous edition, this has become a rather scarce book, especially so in fine condition. Tiny bump to lower corner, otherwise fine, fresh, and bright.
