FAMILY ASSOCIATION COPY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY UPTON SINCLAIR TO IN-LAWS LUCILE AND ORMAN KIMBROUGH. xii, 239 pages. Hardcover: H 21.75cm x L 13.75cm. Lacks dust jacket. Dark green cloth, light bumping to board corners, small light stain at front board's upper right, front board's gilt stamping remains bright, short tear at spine head, some flaking to spine's gilt stamping but lettering still legible. Edges toned with interior leaves lightly affected at margins; endpapers toned; some foxing to frontispiece causing toning to preceding half-title and opposing title; pages 77-98 bumped/creased at their bottom fore-edge corners. Author's three-line ink inscription upon the front free endpaper: "To Lucile + Orman | with love | Upton Sinclair." Interior pages are otherwise clean. Binding is firm. A very good- copy. The inscribees are Lucile Bridgeforth Hardy Kimbrough (1888-1985) and Orman Lanier Kimbrough (1884-1949), the latter being the immediate sibling to Upton Sinclair's second wife Mary Craig Kimbrough Sinclair (1882-1961) whose alleged extrasensory perception is the subject of MENTAL RADIO. In further familial connection, Robert Irwin, the husband of Mary Craig Sinclair's youngest sister Dollie, helped conduct the experiments reviewed in the book. Raised in Biloxi and Greenwood, Orman and Mary Craig were the two oldest of ten children and remained close throughout their lives despite her career as activist and writer with husband Upton primarily in California and Orman's career as a lawyer in Mississippi.
