DJ has slight wear and soiling. Some edge soiling. The compilers were brothers who spelled their last names differently. Leonard Safir was a veteran radio and television producer who was a public relations executive. In 1952, he became the first associate producer of the early morning "Today" program at NBC-TV, where he originated many of television's first live remote telecasts. Mr. Safir had become known as a quotations anthologist, collaborating on four books with Mr. Safire. William Lewis Safir (December 17, 1929 - September 27, 2009) better known as William Safire, was an author, columnist, journalist, and presidential speechwriter. He was a syndicated political columnist for The New York Times and the author of "On Language" in The New York Times Magazine, a column on popular etymology, new or unusual usages, and other language-related topics from its inception. He joined The New York Times as a political columnist in 1973. In 1978, Safire won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. In addition to his political columns, Safire wrote a column, "On Language", in the weekly The New York Times Magazine from 1979 until the month of his death. Many of the columns were collected in books. According to the linguist Geoffrey Pullum, over the years Safire became less of a "grammar-nitpicker," and Benjamin Zimmer cited Safire's willingness to learn from descriptive linguists. Another book on language was The New Language of Politics (1968), which developed into what Zimmer called Safire's "magnum opus," Safire's Political Dictionary. Tidbits of writing advice on everything from Action to Writers Block by the masters of the craft fill this essential reference for wordsmiths compiled by a New York Times columnist. Writers over the decades speak out on the art (and task) of writing, as collected by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times language columnist William Safire and Leonard Safir. A feast for wordsmiths and a must-have handbook for writers of all stripes.

From Wikipedia: "Phi Alpha Theta ( ) is an American honor society for undergraduate and graduate students and professors of history. The society has over 350, 000 members, with about 9, 500 new members joining each year through 860 local chapters. Phi Alpha Theta was established on March 17, 1921 at the University of Arkansas by Professor Nels Cleven. Cleven had become convinced in his time at the university that a fraternity of scholars (which would accept men or women) was important for the study of history. He invited students to a meeting to form the society (then called the "University Historical Society") on March 14, and the society was officially recognized on the 17th. In April, the decision was made for the society to be known by the Greek letters Phi Alpha Theta. Phi Alpha Theta publishes a quarterly historical journal entitled The Historian, which has over 12, 500 individual subscribers and 1, 000 library subscribers. The Historian splits the space in its quarterly issues between articles and book reviews." Good. Cover has some wear and soiling.
