Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Small 4to. Brown cloth with gilt spine lettering. xxii, 256pp; xi, 298pp. Map endpapers (Volume Five only). Very good. Tight and internally fine, with bindings faintly edgeworn and corners a tad bumped. Handsome first editions of the first ("The National Story") and fifth ("The West") volumes only of this 5-volume set, a massive analysis of the 1952 race. This delightful association pair were the personal copies of 1952 Democratic presidential candidate Adlai E. Stevenson II (1900-65), likely presented him by the publisher. Volume One front flyleaf bears a red-bordered mailing label bearing his typed name and Chicago law office address. Laid into this volume is a fine and intriguing 8vo (4" X 8 3/4") 4pp leaflet: Front page a note from Farnk E. Karelsen noting "much comment in the press regarding the stand of Adlai E. Stevenson and others on the issue of civil rights as it affects integration in the South" and introducing pages 2 and 3, CBS radio journalist Eric Sevareid's 14 February 1956 commentary, "the best analysis I have heard. clearly advocates deliberate and reasonable speed as expressed by the courts.".
