The Secret Life of Walter Winchell by Lyle Stuart, First Edition
About the Item
The Secret Life of Walter Winchell by Lyle Stuart. Boar's Head Books, New York, 1953. First edition hardcover with Brodart covered dust jacket. The book identifies the fault lines between gossip and news, between celebrity and democracy, between popularity and responsibility. It exposes Winchell’s crude methods, his fabrications, half-truths, and inaccuracies. Winchell arranged for three thugs to beat up the unauthorized biographer Lyle Stuart in 1953. The author was attacked by three hired thugs for writing it. He identified two of them from a police mug book and they were arrested, tried, and convicted. They received one-year prison sentences. Winchell could put people in jail with the help of his close friend, J. Edgar Hoover who ran the F.B.I. as a personal preserve. A primary source of information for this book was Winchell’s former son-in-law who also was sent to prison for five years on a trumped-up income tax charge. A fascinating book.

- Manly P Hall, the Secret Teachings of All Ages, First Edition Book & 4 PrintsBy TASCHENLocated in Los Angeles, CAThe classic encyclopedia of the arcane in an expanded edition. Renowned philosopher and lecturer Manly P. Hall’s masterful encyclopedia of ancient symbols, hidden rituals, and arcane practices has remained a classic since first published in 1928. Hall’s densely detailed writings explore topics ranging from Hermeticism to Tarot, Egyptian mythology to Pythagorean theory. Each chapter is accompanied by the vivid illustrations of artist J. Augustus Knapp, with additional images by Mihran Serailian found in the companion volume, each taking their own unique approach to nearly 60 artworks depicting occult subject matter. The initial concept for what became known as Hall’s “Great Book”, first began in 1923 when the young Los Angeles-based orator began a months-long trip around the globe. Circumnavigating by ship, Hall visited Egypt, China and India, immersing himself in the philosophical and religious history of each country. Upon his return he spent the next five years penning his massive compendium of philosophy and myth. Nearly a century after its release, this iconic masterwork has been reproduced for the first time from the rare and extravagant original edition. This meticulously-restored version of Hall’s “Great Book” is also accompanied by an expansive companion book, featuring condensed summaries of each chapter of The Secret Teachings, alongside newly-discovered artworks, rare photography...Category
