Wallace, Alfred RusselThe Revolt of Democracy.
Cassell and Company, London 1913, 1st edition. With the Life Story of the Author By James Marchant. Pp [6], vii-xlv, 82. Publisher's red cloth with lettering in gilt. Includes the scarce DUST JACKET. Condition of the cloth boards are as new with the gilt being very bright. The DJ is Near Fine with having a nick at the top of the spine. The text block is tight, clean, with no signatures or other markings, except on the bottom edge there is a black line. This appears to be a remainder mark made with a felt tip pen. If this book was a remainder in 1913, which is doubtful, it wouldn't be marked with a modern felt tip pen. This copy would be FINE except for light spotting around the margins on many pages (see photo).
The first 65 pages is the Life Story of Wallace by Marchant. This is followed by Wallace's account of a needed "Revolt of Democracy" to address the wages/wealth imbalance in society. His opening paragraph sets the tone of his message and is as… Read More

Description:
1970 Guardian first American editions. Credited to author Baik Bong, the books are thought to be collectively written by the Chinese and North Korean governments.First published in the Korean language in 1968 and 1969. The English language translations were first published in 1969 and 1970, in Japan, under the Miraisha imprint.
The three books offered in this listing are first American editions, with US copyrights and Library of Congress catalog numbers. Kim's three volume biography was published and distributed worldwide under various imprints and languages, including French, Italian, Spanish, and Serbian. Presumably, this worldwide distribution was undertaken in support of "exporting revolution", a priority of the Chinese government in the 1960's and 1970's.
Condition of the three books and dust jackets is Very Good Plus. The books have sound bindings, complete and unmarked inside pages. The dust jackets show only light shelf wear, are not price clipped, and are protected in new mylar covers.
