The text is based on recorded conversations with Earl made in 1976 when Earl was in his 81st year. From the introduction :"Here, then, is Earl's story of how he 'got things done', from standpoints of both personal and civic accomplishments over a long span of years - working with people of all classes, in all sorts of situations - and making no enemies of anyone in the process. It is a remarkable record of service to an ideal, kept alive and still vigorous after more than 81 years. It is not a dramatic story, but it is an important one, if we are to remember what America once meant to people, and what it could still mean to a sad and sorry world." Along with the text are many black and white photos and illustrations."; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 176 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
