Includes List of Other Books by David Baldacci; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments and A Note About the Endpapers. Illustrated with color front and rear endpapers consisting of "pages from the Bay Psalm Book, the first book ever printed in North America. A rare copy of th PUritan hymnal, published in 1640 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, now resides in the Library of Congress." A small neatly scripted former owner name and date at the upper left corner of the blank verso of the first free front endpaper. "Over the hill. Out of the loop. And trying to save their country. In Washington, D.C., where power is everything and too few have too much of it, four highly eccentric men with mysterious pasts call themselves the Camel Club. Their mission: find out what's really going on behind the closed doors of America's leaders. The assassination of the U.S. Speaker of the House has shaken the nation. And the outrageous iconoclasts of the Camel Club have found a chilling connection with another death: the demise of the director of the Library of Congress's rare books room, whose body has been found in a locked valut where seemingly nothing could have harmed him. A man who calls himself Oliver Stone is the group's unofficial leader. Staying one step ahead of his violent past and headquartered in a caretaker's cottage in Mt. Zion Cemetery, Stone, drawing on his vast experience and acute deductive powers, discovers that someone is selling America to its enemies one classified secret at a time. When Annabelle Conroy, the greatest con artist of her generation, struts onto the scene in high-heeled boots, the Camel Club gets a sexy new edge. And they'll need it, because the two murders are hurtling them into a world of high-stakes espionage that threatens to bring America to its knees. From an ingenious con in Atlantic City to the possible forgery of one of the rarest and most valuable books in American history, to a showdown of epic proportions in the very heart of the capital, David Baldacci weaves a brilliant, white-knuckle tale of suspense in which every collector is searching for one missing prize: the one to die for." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Stated "First Printing" 1951, though there was in fact an earlier first hardcover edition from Arkham House in 1946, this version being admittedly "somewhat revised." White oval "Signed Copy" sticker to exterior of front panel, polypropylene jacket protector, and in fact book is inscribed to Austin Haller and signed "A E Van Vogt" in black ink to the FFE. Bookplate of Austin P. Haller, M.D., to facing front pastedown. Not price clipped -- original $2.50 price still showing. Jacket front panel and spine long ago repaired/strengthened with Scotch tape. (Could possibly be painstakingly removed, though we have not attempted.) The Slan are the next evolutionary step for humankind -- the tendrils growing amongst the hair on their heads allowing them to engage in telepathy -- though of course the dullard majority call them "snakes" and attempt to exterminate them. Like most of Van Vogt's novels (of which this was the first), "Slan" is cobbled together from related stories originally published in the pulps -- in this case "Astounding Science Fiction," 1940. 247 pp., now reduced from $132. As with all our items priced higher than $90, this item will be shipped "signature required.".

Sue graduated from Harrison-Draughon School of Commerce in Atlanta and attended the Atlanta Division, University of Georgia. She worked in the legal department of the Coca-Cola Company and later was the bookkeeper for the family pharmaceutical businesses.; Her husband, Eugene L. "Gene" Argo (1932-2008) was a graduate of Decatur Boys High School, and served in the Korean War with the United States Coast Guard. Argo attended Emory University and graduated from Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy in 1958 with a B.S. degree in pharmacy. While attending college, Argo began working at Stacy's Pharmacy on Scott Boulevard in Decatur in 1955. In 1960, he became Vice President and co- owner of Stacy's and in 1967, he became President and owner. Argo opened a second pharmacy, Stacy's Pharmacy at Emory Village, in 1973. After selling both Stacy's locations in 1998, Argo opened Stacy's Compound Pharmacy where he worked until his retirement. He was appointed by Governors George Busbee and Joe Frank Harris to terms on the Georgia Board of Pharmacy. ; Herman Eugene Talmadge served as governor of Georgia in 1947 and from 1948 to 1955 and as a U.S. senator from Georgia from 1957 to 1981.He began his career as a staunch segregationist known for his opposition to civil rights, including supporting legislation that would have closed public schools to prevent desegregation.[3] By the later stages of his career, following the enactment of the Voting Rights Act, which gave substance to the Fifteenth Amendment enacted nearly one hundred years before, and increased African American voter participation, Talmadge, like many other Southern politicians of that period, had modified his views on race. Talmadge was a long-serving member of the Senate Agriculture Committee as well as the Senate Finance Committee. During the latter part of his career, he also served as a member of the Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities (better known as the Senate Watergate Committee). ; In an important political and personal memoir, Senator Herman Talmadge writes candidly about power, politics, his personal life and hundreds of powerful--and sometimes pitiful--political figures he knows. 40 photographs. ; FINE/FINE.
