Staple Bound Pamphlet. Condizione: Good. Reprint. Memoirs of inventor, industrialist & early aviator.

Text clean; 29 pages. From Wikipedia: "Arthur Pratt Warner (April 18, 1870, Jacksonville, Florida - March 22, 1957, Beloit, Wisconsin) was an American inventor, businessman and pioneer aviator. His inventions include the electric brake and the speedometer. He was the first American private citizen to purchase an airplane, the "first commercially built airplane". He paid Glenn Curtiss $6000 for a disassembled one. Once he had assembled it (without instructions or manuals), he became the first person to fly in Wisconsin, at Beloit on November 4, 1909. He got 50 feet (15 m) off the ground and traveled a quarter mile (0.4 km). This also made him the eleventh American pilot. A self-taught engineer, with his brother Charles he invented the first automobile speedometer, which made him rich. The Warner Instrument Co. was incorporated in 1903, with Warner as vice president and general manager. In 1912, he sold his speedometer company for $1.2 million. In 1917, the Warner Manufacturing Co. came into existence, with Warner as president, to make automobile and truck trailers. Inventions that he developed in connection with this business included the electric brake and power clutch. He retired in 1934." Size: 5½" by 8¾".

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 324 pages. Published in 1985. Retrospective collection of interviews. One of the best author-interviews of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original and in the United Kingdom only by a small independent press. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Charles Ruas' "Conversations With American Writers". An unsurpassable collection, which demands to be read through, illuminating and moving in its cumulative power. Encompasses the full breadth, diversity, and quality of mid- to late-20th century American literature. Eudora Welty, Norman Mailer, Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, E. L. Doctorow, Susan Sontag, Toni Morrison, Robert Stone, Scott Spencer, and Paul Theroux, among others, grace these pages. Their singular personalities and authorial voices leap off the page, with a little help from the estimable Charles Ruas. Who patiently conducted, transcribed, introduced, and annotated each of the interviews over nearly a decade. Ruas is best-known as a brilliant translator of French literature into English, second only to the extremely prolific Richard Howard. This collection is as much his achievement as the now-canonical writers who agreed to be interviewed by him: He brings out the best in all of them with his scrupulous scholarship and probing yet never voyeuristic questioning. An absolute "must-have" title for American literature collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of relatively few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (British/Quartet Books) still available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are in subsequent printing. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Some of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER TRUMAN CAPOTE, TONI MORRISON, SUSAN SONTAG, AND GORE VIDAL TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0704325543. no.
