Author: SIMON, Paul
Title: Lovejoy: Martyr to Freedom
Description: St. Louis, Concordia Publishing House, 1964. Hardcover. 8vo. Black cloth, dust jacket. 150pp. Very good/very good. Jacket somewhat rubbed and with the slightest bit of edgewear. Tight, clean, handsome first edition of the Illinois senator's first book. Rather uncommon. The front jacket panel features a blurb from then-Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson II (1960-65), former Illinois governor -- which makes this copy especially choice, as it comes from the library of Simon's senatorial colleague, Adlai E. Stevenson III (son of the governor, great-grandson of the vice president). .
