Item description from seller

Bowling Green, Kentucky: Hub Publications, 1983. [52] pp. 16.5 x 25.5 cm. Brown velveteen on gold card wrappers, black and white photographs throughout. Stapled newspaper article about event laid in. Some rubbing to covers, with small creases to corners. Some toning to spider's web embossed glassine endpapers. Two business cards attached to inside of front cover by a paperclip, which shows some rusting. Paperclip impressions to head of title page with small rust marks. Hammer prices have been written in in blue ink for each auction lot, sometimes also with the name of the winning bidder or other notations. Binding is firm with no signs of rust to staples. The Lovana's Palace Ball of January 14th, 1983 was no small event in the history of the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver. Two thousand people were in attendance at the black tie ball and auction, which featured the presence of actual livestock in the hotel's lobby. In addition to auctioning off bulls and heifers, Lovana Farms also placed embryos from their best livestock on the block.Unfortunately for Virgil Lovell, the owner of Lovana Farms, this activity caught the interest of the Internal Revenue Service. Lovell was under investigation by the IRS and had a $6 million tax liability, and in mid-February he met with and offered a $500,000 bribe to an IRS agent to make the problem go away. In December of the same year, Lovell and tax shelter promoter Charles Hara were arrested for attempting to make the largest bribe ever offered to an agent of the IRS. . Soft Cover. Very Good.
