Ill.: title page vignette. Bound in original full leather. Volume II only. 12mo, pp. [34], 401. Folding genealogical chart of "la maison de Messire Phillippe de Comines, Chevalier" at end of book. Â ¶ Phillippe de Comines (or Commynes) (1447?-1511) was a French chronicler and diplomat who served King Louis XI and King Charles VIII. "The Memoirs", "first printed in 1524, contain no historical system. They are a gathering of reflections and examples observed in the prince he most admired, Louis XI. Commynes' remarks are meant for princes, who should learn the art of diplomacy and government through a deep understanding of men and things."

The text is in eight "books" with a life of the author at the end. It appears to be complete in itself, although the text "TO.II" appears on the spine, which suggests Volume II.

	COUNTRYMAN, JACK A YEAR WITH A WRITER Racine, WI, Published by the author 2003, 1st edition, . Coil bound in clear plastic covers; text printed one side only. Oblong 4to, pp. 376. No place of publication stated. Â ¶ A very quirky item, self-published, and perhaps self-bound. The prefatory note reads: "The reader spends a full year with a writer [presumably Countryman] and emerges with a new literary perspective never before presented. Each page depicts a full day and the 365 days represent a writer's mental and physical activities.. This Journal was found in a stone cellar [sic]. It is a rare find since it is the year the writer was intentionally published [sic], and therefore it deals with all phases of the writing craft. Writers, readers, publishers and academics will have a new insight into how a writer thinks and works. This book will be of value to the world literary community." The "book" (if that is what it is) is in excellent condition. WorldCat lists only one copy. There is no ISBN. There is another author, by the name of "Jack Countryman" who writes inspirational books, a fact which might explain the curious caveat on the copyright page: "This book is the soul [sic] property of the author and therefore subject to his jurisdiction. It might be given as a gift to certain groups or individuals with a covering letter by the said writer as to the intentions for the books [sic] use. Any other infringement to this basic principle may be subject to litigation; including unnecessary profit from a book wholly produced by the writer and reproduction of the material without his consent." There was no covering letter with this book and, in any event, it was acquired from a third party and is no longer the "soul" (sole) property of the author.

There is another author, by the name of "Jack Countryman" who writes inspirational books, a fact which might explain the curious caveat on the copyright page: "This book is the soul [sic] property of the author and therefore subject to his jurisdiction. It might be given as a gift to certain groups or individuals with a covering letter by the said writer as to the intentions for the books [sic] use. Any other infringement to this basic principle may be subject to litigation; including unnecessary profit from a book wholly produced by the writer and reproduction of the material without his consent." There was no covering letter with this book and, in any event, it was acquired from a third party and is no longer the "soul" (sole) property of the author.
