Association Copy First Printing. Inscribed: To Paul Nitze with the high regard of John Foster Dulles April, 1950Clean Text. Price unclipped ($2.50). Protected by Brodart book jacket cover. Dulles served as United States Secretary of State under President Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1953 to 1959 and was briefly a Republican U.S. Senator for New York in 1949. He was a significant figure in the early Cold War era, advocating an aggressive stance against communism throughout the world. This book offers a critical analysis of the American policy of containment, which was favored by the foreign policy elite in Washington, particularly in the Democratic administration of Harry S. Truman, whose foreign policy Dulles criticized and instead advocated a policy of "liberation." Dulles tenure as Secretary was marked by conflict with communist governments worldwide, especially the Soviet Union; Dulles strongly opposed communism, calling it "Godless terrorism." Dulles's preferred strategy was containment… Read More

Stockholm: Svensk Filma, 1987. No Binding. Fine. A quite sensational item of movie memorabilia! A cinema poster or flyer for the 1980's re-screening in Stockholm, Sweden, of Ingmar Bergman's 1949 movie "Törst" (The Thirst). The poster has been inscribed, signed and dated by Ingmar Bergman. Professionally framed by the original recipient and is under glass. The actual poster or flyer is presumably a reproduction of the original poster for the re-screening event. The frame measures approximately 16" x 12.25" and the poster will, thus, be very slightly smaller. To the verso of the frame there is a printed sticker from the framers stating (in Swedish) - "The artwork is insulated with cardboard. 100% cotton" (Google translate). I interpret this to mean that it is cotton-backed. The inscription is located below the final titles and is in blue ink. It reads, "Till TAPANI, MED HJÄRTLIG HÄLSNING OCH TACK FRÄN INGMAR BERGMAN, 10.3.87" (To… Read More

This listing is for a large and breathtaking Apollo 9 Full-Crew signed (Scott, McDivitt, Schweickart) 16x20 photo professionally authenticated by JSA. It would be hard to exaggerate how scarce this is. Apollo 9 was the first mission to qualify a Lunar Module (LM) for flight and docking, thus paving the way for an eventual Apollo 11 moon landing mission. This photo was taken from a docked LM and shows Dave Scott performing a stand-up EVA from the hatch of the Command Module. The three signatures are strikingly large and bold and beautifully written; and, critically, have been authenticated by one of the best in the business, James Spence Authenticators (JSA). Their full Letter of Authenticity accompanies the photo; the accompanying COA sticker was placed on the letter, not the photo. The photo is printed on Kodak professional paper and the borders are bright white (but hard to photograph). Condition is very good; some wear is visible in places along the edges, and the corners have mild blemishes but… Read More
