20th Century Dress in the United States $56.42 The 20th century was a fast-paced race into modernization but how did it affect what we wear? From revolutionary politics to the new machine age, from war and depression to growth and prosperity, 20th Century Dress in the United States details how fashion goes hand-in-hand with history. The authors examine American dress from 1898 to 2004 and find innovation at every turn. Diversity and complexity are key: far from the fashion stereotypes embodied by popular ideas of the twenties or the sixties periods noted for their youthful upheaval and influence we see how every era has its conformists and rebels, from the Arrow Collar Man and the Gibson Girl to flappers, bell-bottom-clad hippies, and Jackie Kennedy. Each chapter explores the social, cultural, economic, artistic, and technological themes that shape fashion in both festive and everyday clothing. Changes in retailing and manufacturing are also examined, from the sweatshops of yesterday to the Internet shopping of today. Whether h |

Blackbird: A Childhood Lost $2.54 Lauck’s heartbreaking and inspiring memoir–debuting to advance critical acclaim–tells how an ordinary child growing up under the blue skies of Carson City, Nevada, in the early 1970s lost her childhood after her world became unhinged by family tragedy. From the Publisher With the startling emotional immediacy of a fractured family photo album, Jennifer Lauck’s incandescent memoir is the story of an ordinary girl growing up at the turn of the 1970s and the truly extraordinary circumstances of a childhood lost. Wrenching and unforgettable, Blackbird will carry your heart away. The house on Mary Street was home to Jennifer; her older brother B.J.; their hardworking father, who smelled like aftershave and read her Snow White; and their mother, who called her little daughter Sunshine and embraced Jackie Kennedy’s sense of style. Through a child’s eyes, the skies of Carson City were forever blue, and life was perfect — a world of Barbies, Bewitched, and the Beatles. Even her mother’s pain from her mysterious illness could be patted away with hairspray, powder, and a kiss on the cheek….But soon, everything Jennifer has come to love and rely on begins to crumble, sending her on a roller coaster of loss and loneliness. In a world unhinged by tragedy, where beautiful mothers die and families are warped by more than they can bear, a young girl must transcend a landscape of pain and mistreatment to discover her richest resource: her own unshakable will to survive. |

From Love Field $5.14 I awakened early on Friday morning, November 22, 1963. The day was gray and somber. Rain was falling& I asked John if I could ride with him to Dallas, and his reply was ‘certainly.’ We got in the jump seats right behind the driver and secret service man in the front. I was on the driver’s side. Mrs. Kennedy was behind me. The President sat directly behind John. We were a happy foursome. I had my yellow roses; Jackie had red ones. I turned to the President as the formation of cars turned onto Elm Street and said, ‘ Mr. President, you certainly cannot say that Dallas does not love you.’ Nellie Connally, wife of the late governor of Texas John Connally, shares her personal diary of the JFK assassination. While a seminal document in our nation’s history-the original document is to be archived at the University of Texas-From Love Field is, at heart, one woman’s account of a personal tragedy. Written for her children and grandchildren forty years ago in November 1963, the diary details what it took as a wife, mother, and friend to cope with an unimaginable personal and public ordeal. With the twenty-six-page original document expertly reproduced in its entirely and an additional narrative detailing the days before and after the fatal shots, From Love Field also includes many major newsbreaking revelations that further delineate Mrs. Connally’s longstanding dispute of the Warren Commission’s findings. Along with Mickey Herskowitz, a longtime family friend and coauthor of John Connally’s autobiography In History’s Shadow, Nellie Connally has, at last, broken her silence and given the country a personal point of view of the most controversial and disturbing chapter in its history. |

Jackie Style $45 Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was known by many names, but to its, she is Jackie. And whether she liked it or not, she was, and still is, the most famous woman in the world. No one else looked like her, spoke like her, wrote like her, or was so original in the way she did things, said her brother-in-law Senator Edward Kennedy. Her style–what made her Jackie–has been emulated, imitated, even occasionally reviled, but never fully examined. For the first time, this biography details the singular life that made Jackie an icon and contributed so greatly to her enduring appeal. Drawing on original interviews with Valentino, Hubert de Givenchy, Manolo Blahnik, and Oleg Cassini, as well as close friends C. Z. Guest, George Plimpton, and John Loring, and family members such as Joan Kennedy, Hugh D. Auchincloss, and John Davis, this compelling volume brings to life the private Jackie her family and friends loved. With one hundred rare color and black-and-white photographs and sketches, and neverbefore-published personal letters, memos, and essays, Jackie Style re-creates not only Jackie’s extraordinary history–fashion being just one part of it–but the world she came from, the White House she revived, the husband and children she adored, the causes she supported, and, finally, the life she chose to lead. |

Jacqueline Bouvier $32.5 Extraordinarily intimate and touching, Jacqueline Bouvier is a tale of two childhoods. Davis’s mother and Jackie’s father were sister and brother, and John Davis and Jacqueline, born just weeks apart, spent their summers together on their grandfather’s East Hampton estate and frequently met at family holiday gatherings. Secure in the heart of privilege, they grew up in the gilded townhouses and grand ballrooms of New York City, the equestrian circles of Long Island, and the mansion society of Newport. Jackie’s mother, Janet Lee, a highstrung and strong-willed young woman, had been determined to marry into Society. She did, after meeting the dashing playboy stockbroker John Black Jack Bouvier, whose family could trace its American roots back more than a century. Jacqueline’s Grandfather Bouvier was a gentleman of the old school who kept a household where strict rules of dress and decorum were enforced. He instilled in his grandchildren a deep sense of aristocratic lineage, a characteristic that would influence Jackie’s highly developed aesthetic sense and extraordinary strength of character. Ironically, Jackie’s maternal grandfather, James T. Lee, was a self-made millionaire whose rise from rags to riches oddly paralleled that of her future father-in-law, Joseph P. Kennedy. Jacqueline Lee Bouvier was born on July 28, 1929. Her idyllic early childhood – she became a passionate equestrienne, winning her first blue ribbon at the age of five – was shattered by her parents’ bitter divorce when she was only seven years old. The ensuing emotional tug-of-war for her loyalty and devotion, fueled by her own conflicting feelings for her overly critical mother and her overly indulgent father, would haunt Jackie even on the day of her wedding to John Kennedy in 1953. From her father’s unpublished letters to her come new insights into their fateful relationship. After attending Vassar, the Sorbonne, and Georgetown, Jackie worked as an inquiring photographer for a newspaper in Wa |

Jacqueline Kennedy $29.95 In a mere one thousand days, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy created an entrancing public persona that has remained intact for nearly forty years. Even now, a decade after her death, she remains a figure of enduring–and endearing–interest. Yet, while innumerable books have focused on the legends and gossip surrounding this charismatic figure, Barbara Perry’s is the first to focus largely on Kennedy’s White House years, portraying a First Lady far more complex and enigmatic than previously perceived. Noting how Jackie’s celebrity and devotion to privacy have for years precluded a more serious treatment, Perry’s engaging and well-crafted story illuminates Kennedy’s immeasurable impact on the institution of the First Lady. Perry vividly illustrates the complexities of Jacqueline Bouvier’s marriage to John F. Kennedy, and shows how she transformed herself from a reluctant political wife to an effective, confident presidential partner. Perry is especially illuminating in tracing the First Lady’s mastery of political symbolism and imagery, along with her use of television and state entertainment to disseminate her work to a global audience. By offering the White House as a stage for the arts, Jackie also bolstered the president’s Cold War efforts to portray the United States as the epitome of a free society. From redecorating the White House to championing Lafayette Square’s preservation to lending her name to fund-raising for the National Cultural Center, she had a profound impact on the nation’s psyche and cultural life. Meanwhile, her fashionable clothes and glamorous hairdos stood in stark contrast to the dowdiness of her predecessors and the drab appearances of Communist leaders’ spouses.Never before or since has a First Lady (and her husband) sparkled with so much hope and vigor on the stage of American public life. Perry’s deft narrative captures all of that and more, even as it also insightfully depicts Jackie’s struggles to preserve her own identity amid the pressur |

Mrs. Kennedy and Me: An Intimate Memoir $26 HE CALLED HER MRS. KENNEDY. SHE CALLED HIM MR. HILL. For four years, from the election of John Fitzgerald Kennedy in November 1960 until after the election of Lyndon Johnson in 1964, Clint Hill was the Secret Service agent assigned to guard the glamorous and intensely private Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. During those four years, he went from being a reluctant guardian to a fiercely loyal watchdog and, in many ways, her closest friend. Now, looking back fifty years, Clint Hill tells his story for the first time, offering a tender, enthralling, and tragic portrayal of how a Secret Service agent who started life in a North Dakota orphanage became the most trusted man in the life of the First Lady who captivated first the nation and then the world. When he was initially assigned to the new First Lady, Agent Hill envisioned tea parties and gray-haired matrons. But as soon as he met her, he was swept up in the whirlwind of her beauty, her grace, her intelligence, her coy humor, her magnificent composure, and her extraordinary spirit. From the start, the job was like no other, and Clint was by her side through the early days of JFK’s presidency; the birth of sons John and Patrick and Patrick’s sudden death; Kennedy-family holidays in Hyannis Port and Palm Beach; Jackie’s trips to Europe, Asia, and South America; Jackie’s intriguing meetings with men like Aristotle Onassis, Gianni Agnelli, and Andr Malraux; the dark days of the year that followed the assassination to the farewell party she threw for Clint when he left her protective detail after four years. All she wanted was the one thing he could not give her: a private life for her and her children. Filled with unforgettable details, startling revelations, and sparkling, intimate moments, this is the once-in-a-lifetime story of a man doing the most exciting job in the world, with a woman all the world loved, and the tragedy that ended it all too soon a tragedy that haunted |

Primary $24.95 A new kind of reporting, a new form of history Robert Drew Promised John F. Kennedy. He was proposing that a revolutionary small camera operated by cameraman Ricky Leacock and sync sound recorder operated by himself, live with Kennedy for nearly a week during the climax of his 1960 Wisconsin presidential primary run against Hubert Humphrey. The resulting film, Primary, turned out to be a cinematic experience unique in the history of film, the first in the development of American cinema verite and a template for the groundbreaking films Drew would later shoot in the Kennedy White House. Unlike the directed, narrated documentaries of the day, Drew’s freewheeling photography moved with it’s subjects and brought audiences straight into the action. It captured Kennedy s rock-star-like presence and Jackie’s quite radiance. It granted audiences unprecedented access into the world of a young politician and his glamorous wife as the campaigned across the Wisconsin landscape and navigated their way through throngs of ardent supporters. And while it is no mystery who ultimately made it to the White House, Primary builds with dramatic tension as the candidates await the returns, capturing the character and flavor of campaign politics as never before seen on film. |

The Man in the Flying Lawn Chair: And Other Excursions and Observations $1.21 George Plimpton needed no encouragement. If there was a sport to play, a party to throw, a celebrity to amaze, a fireworks display to ignite, Plimpton was front and center hurling the pitch, popping the corks, lighting the fuse. And then, of course, writing about it with incomparable zest and style. His books made him a legend. The Paris Review, the magazine he founded and edited, won him a throne in literary heaven. Somehow, in the midst of his self-generated cyclones, Plimpton managed to toss off dazzling essays, profiles, and New Yorker Talk of the Town pieces. This delightful volume collects the very best of Plimpton’s inspired brief excursions. Whether he was escorting Hunter Thompson to the Fear and Loathing movie premiere in New York or tracking down the California man who launched himself into the upper atmosphere with nothing but a lawn chair and a bunch of weather balloons, Plimpton had a rare knack for finding stories where no one else thought to look. Who but Plimpton would turn up in Las Vegas, notebook in hand, for the annual porn movie awards gala? Among the many gems collected here are accounts of helping Jackie Kennedy plan an unforgettable children’s birthday party, the time he improvised his way through amateur night at Harlem’s famed Apollo Theater, and how he managed to get himself kicked out of Exeter just weeks before graduation. The grand master of what he called participatory journalism, George Plimpton followed his bent and his genius down the most unbelievable rabbit holes-but he always came up smiling. This exemplary, utterly captivating volume is a fitting tribute to one of the great literary lives of our time. |

The Secret Memoirs of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis $15.95 Jackie Kennedy quite famously said, I want to live my life, not record it. She remains elusive, her interior life hidden, her feelings and motivations secret. Yet who has not wondered what lay behind those sunglasses? Haven’t we all wondered how Jackie felt about Jack’s womanizing? How could she not have known? How did she tolerate it? How did her childhood passions and turbulent family life shape her choices? How did her love of fashion and culture influence the White House? What did she think about Marilyn Monroe? Why did she ever marry Onassis? What made her take a job in publishing when she clearly didn’t need one? How did she endure the loss of her babies, the pressure of the Kennedy political machine, the murder of her husband, the never ending paparazzi, and the news of her imminent death? In this powerful, poignant, and sweeping novel, Ruth Francisco tells Jackie’s story in Jackie’s voice and boldly plunges into the subtext of her public life, reimagining her thoughts and feelings between the lines of recorded history. |
