From an AI overview: "Times in the Life of a Seattle Icon: Joe Diamond, Lawyer is a 2005 authorized biography written by John Pierre about the prominent Seattle attorney and parking-lot magnate Josef "Joe" Diamond. About the Subject. Early Life: Born in Los Angeles in 1907 to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents, Diamond moved to Seattle as a toddler. He graduated from the University of Washington School of Law in 1931. Business Pioneer: Widely known as the "father of the self-serve parking lot," he invented the slotted coin box for unattended lots to counter post-World War II labor shortages, growing Diamond Parking into a massive Western states enterprise. He also co-founded Gov-Mart, a membership discount store that served as an early model for Costco. Legal Career: As a hard-driving attorney and long-time partner at Diamond & Sylvester, he notably argued the high-profile reverse-discrimination case Marco DeFunis v. Odegaard before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1974. About the Book. Author: John Pierre, a colleague and long-time associate of Diamond. Publisher: Classic Day Publishing (Seattle). Content: The biography chronicles Diamond's nearly century-long life, detailing his relentless work ethic, business innovations, and legal career.". First Edition. Hardcover.

Store description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
