NO ORDINARY TIME inscribed Doris Kearns Goodwin HCDJ FEFP 1994 Pulitzer WWII FDR

Description: Fine/Near fine. First printing (Numberline). Tight, clean, crisp, square, flat and sharp book in lightly wrinkled DJ. Free mylar sleeve. No mention of the Pulitzer Prize [as expected] she won in 1995 for this book: the DJ is first state as well. Warmly inscribed "To Martha and Michael: a tribute to one man who does ask for directions" and signed with her full name. There are extremely few inscribed copies available on the market, though many signed, and often described as "inscribed" with simply "to _____" as one would expect from a signing engagement. This is quite possibly an association copy--a book with a similarly personable inscription is being offered with a sheaf of emails demonstrating the association. As this was a thrift store find, we have no such provenance. We found a Martha and Michael was mentioned in an obituary which also mentioned Doris Goodwin (without the middle name, as would be fitting a memorial to another) however we have no way of knowing if there is any true connection here, and mention it only because a handful of hits were found by Google (which includes many genealogical sites). There are a number of fine universities and colleges in this area which would be inclined to host Goodwin on a book tour, speaking tour, and even offer her visiting professorships. Possibilities ... the book is inscribed, that's all we know. At this writing there are a handful of copies inscribed to a couple with a short message, again, the sort that one expects in a book signing (best wishes, etc). This is the only inscription we found that is personal. Winner of the Pulitzer for History, No Ordinary Time is a chronicle of one of the most vibrant & revolutionary periods in US history. With an extraordinary collection of details, Goodwin weaves together a number of story lines—the Roosevelt’s marriage & partnership, Eleanor’s life as First Lady, & FDR’s White House & its impact on America as well as on a world at war. Goodwin melds these into an intimate portrait of Eleanor & Franklin Roosevelt & of the time during which a new, modern America was born.Preface"The decisive hour has come""A few nice boys with BB guns""Back to the Hudson""Living here is very oppressive""No ordinary time""I am a juggler""I can't do anything about her""Arsenal of democracy""Business as usual""A great hour to live""A completely changed world""Two little boys playing soldier""What can we do to help?""By god, if it ain't Old Frank!""We are striking back""The greatest man I have ever known""It is blood on your hands""It was a sight I will never forget""I want to sleep and sleep""Suspended in space""The old master still had it""So darned busy""It is good to be home""Everybody is crying""A new country is being born"AfterwordNotesBibliographyAcknowledgmentsIndexAfterword
