"Life is an American magazine that publishes interviews, essays, cartoons, and photos. At one point it sold more than 13.5 million copies a week; today Life is distributed as a free supplement in major U.S. newspapers. It was born in the early 1880s as a humor magazine and sold well during the late 1930s. In the years following World War II, Life was so popular that President Harry S. Truman, Sir Winston Churchill, and Gen. Douglas MacArthur all serialized their memoirs in its pages. Life was the first all-photography U.S. news magazine and dominated the market for more than forty years. Perhaps one of the best-known pictures printed in the magazine was Alfred Eisenstaedt's shot of a nurse in a sailor's arms, snapped on August 27, 1945, as they celebrated Victory Over Japan Day in New York City. The magazine's place in the history of photojournalism is considered its most important contribution to publishing. However, Life did not always have its familiar white type on red field logo. Beginning in 1883 and continuing for 53 years, Life was a general-interest light entertainment magazine, heavy on illustrations, jokes, and social commentary. It attracted some of the greatest writers, editors, and cartoonists of its era. In 1936 it was bought by Henry Luce, publisher of Fortune and Time, and transformed into a news picture magazine. It was wildly successful for two generations before its prestige was diminished by economics and changing tastes. Since 1972, Life has ceased publication twice, only to be brought back to readers in different incarnations." -- Wikipedia.

"William Henry Seward, Sr. (May 16, 1801 - October 10, 1872) was a Governor of New York, United States Senator and the United States Secretary of State under Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. An outspoken opponent of the spread of slavery in the years leading up to the American Civil War, he was a dominant figure in the Republican party in its formative years, and was widely regarded as the leading contender for the party's presidential nomination in 1860.. On the night of Lincoln's assassination, he survived an attempt on his life in the conspirators' effort to decapitate the Union government. As Johnson's Secretary of State, he engineered the purchase of Alaska from Russia in an act that was ridiculed at the time as "Seward's Folly," but which exemplified his character." -- Wikipedia "Henry Ward Beecher (June 24, 1813 – March 8, 1887) was a prominent, theologically liberal American Congregationalist clergyman, social reformer, abolitionist, and speaker in the mid to late 19th Century. An 1875 adultery trial in which he was accused of having an affair with a married woman was one of the most famous American trials of the Nineteenth century." -- Wikipedia FULL TITLE: Arguments of Counsel for Libellee, Helen Maria Dalton, and the Dalton Divorce Case; Mr. Seward's Argument in the Trial at Detroit; United States of America Vs.

Randisi; The Spirit Birds by Clark Howard; REVIEWS: The Jury Box by Jon L. Breen; SPECIAL FEATURE: EQMM Reader's Award. "Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine is a monthly digest size fiction magazine specializing in crime fiction, particularly detective fiction. Created in 1941 by The Mercury Press, EQMM is named for the famous author Ellery Queen, who wrote numerous novels and short stories about a fictional detective named Ellery Queen. In fact, Ellery Queen was the pseudonym of the team of Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee, who had been writing under the name since 1929. EQMM was created to provide a market for mystery fiction above the common run of pulp crime magazines of the day. Frederic Dannay himself served as its Editor-in-Chief (although still under the name of Ellery Queen) from its creation until his death in 1982, when Managing Editor Eleanor Sullivan succeeded to the post. Because of its high editorial standards, EQMM was one of a relative handful of fiction magazines to survive the decline in short-fiction publication from the 1950s to the 1970s. It is now the longest-running mystery fiction magazine in existence. Throughout its history it has actively encouraged new writers, and today, when most major publications will only accept submissions through literary agents, EQMM still accepts submissions "over the transom" (that is, unsolicited submissions through the mail). The magazine's "Department of First Stories" has introduced literally hundreds of new writers, many of whom have gone on to be regular contributors. In addition to new writers, EQMM regularly publishes short fiction from established mystery novelists such as Dick Francis, Michael Gilbert, Peter Lovesey, Ruth Rendell, and Janwillem van de Wetering. It has also published both new and classic stories from authors not generally considered mystery writers, including such diverse names as A. A. Milne, Stephen King, W. Somerset Maugham, J.A. Konrath, P. G. Wodehouse, Joyce Carol Oates, Theodore Sturgeon, and Phyllis Diller. EQMM has always depended heavily on series characters and stories, such as the "Black Widowers" tales of Isaac Asimov, the "Rumpole of the Bailey" stories of John Mortimer, or the "Ganelon" stories of James Powell. Foremost among series authors is Edward D. Hoch, who has created at least a dozen independent series for EQMM since his first story appeared in 1962. Since the May 1973 issue he has had at least one original story in every issue of EQMM, a string that reached an unparalleled 32 years in May 2005; in that same period he also had about 50 stories in EQMM's sister publication, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine." -- Wikipedia.

Large Softcover. Very Good. Light shelf wear. Binding tight, pages clean, bright, & unmarked. v, 222 pages. "This book, simply titled, should be considered primarily a workbook for paper collectors, beginners or experts, who desire a more intimate knowledge of the other aspects of their collecting mania." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "The author sold his first non-fiction piece at age fourteen to Popular Science magazine for the princely sum of one dollar. He then spent a lot of years trying to do it again. In 1947, after a European tour with tour guide General Patton, he did somewhat better by selling a story on bottle collecting to the old Mechanix Illustrated. Since then he has been a part time writer for the mass of magazines in between the top paying slicks and those that pay in copies. For a living he worked as an auctioneer and various peripheral areas of the auction business until recent years when writing for the antique and collectible magazines became his main concern.".
