Trade paperback. Condition: Good. Presumed first edition/first printing. 79, [1] pages. Includes illustrations. With TLS autographed by the author laid in. Signed by author on title page. Cover has some wear and soiling. Corner creased. From an obituary of the author posted on-line: "Mr. Collett was a Quaker leader and businessm…an. He was a member of the Haverford Friends Meeting. His family owns a farm in Clinton County that has been in Collett hands since the early 1800s. He led delegations to both South Vietnam and North Vietnam accompanying relief supplies on behalf of the American Friends Service Committee. He graduated in 1936 from Wilmington College, and received a master s of arts degree in English literature in 1937 from Haverford College. He served on the Wilmington College Board of Trustees from 1959 through 1974 and chaired the board from 1966 through 1974. He also served on the boards at Haverford and Earlham colleges. In 1981, he was awarded an honorary doctor of doctor of human reconstruction degree by Wilmington College. He earned his way through college with a route of candy machines. After teaching in public schools for three years, he joined his uncle in Cincinnati in a fledgling company operating vending machines in the surrounding area. As president, he oversaw the company s expansion. In 1960, he helped found the Servomation Corp. and chaired its board s executive committee. He was a long-time activist in civic organizations and was a founder and board member of Housing Opportunities Made Equal in Cincinnati and of Camp Joy, a camp for underprivileged children near Wilmington. As a member of Cincinnati s City Planning Commission, in 1953, he was involved at the height of the McCarthy era in a bitter political fight over his defense of the rights of a city planner who had been associated with a Marxist study group years earlier. He wrote a book in 2002, McCarthyism in Cincinnati: The Bettman-Collett Affair, which discussed the incident. He was a board member of the Cincinnati Historical Society and played an important role in the creation of the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal. He combined his love of nature and civic pride in initiating a Cincinnati street tree program as chair of the Committee for Urban Greenery. He participated in mass demonstrations and vigils against the Vietnam War and led delegations to the White House to urge the war be abandoned. He also led Quaker delegations to China, the Middle East and Central America. He refused to pay war taxes for much of his life and chaired the Friends Committee on War Tax Concerns. He also was a board member for the Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund. He wrote poetry throughout his life and recently published a collected volume, This Enchanted Moment, which shows his range of interests and imagination from an account of an anti-nuclear vigil to his fascination with time. He also painted pictures, working with a typewriter and color. One picture, done in 1982, They Fall Westward Toward the River, was exhibited at the Friends Center in Philadelphia, Pa. His work has been exhibited for several years in the Bryn Mawr Mile of Art show, where artists display their work in Bryn Mawr merchants shop windows. He was certainly a man who lived his faith and convictions.".
