Boston: Little, Brown and Company [A Bulfinch Press Book], 2000. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. vi, 186 pages. Illustrations (some with color). Index.

Hugh Sidey (September 3, 1927 - November 21, 2005) was an American journalist who worked for Life magazine starting in 1955, then moved on to Time magazine in 1957. He covered several Presidents, from Eisenhower to Clinton, and was author of the book Time Hugh Sidey's Profiles of the Presidents. He also hosted the PBS series The American Presidents. Sidey served as president of the board of directors of the White House Historical Association from 1998 to 2001, during the White House's bicentenary celebration. Former president George H. W. Bush delivered a eulogy at Sidey's funeral. Inscribed to Nicholas Christopher, believed to be the Nicholas Christopher (born 1951) who is an American novelist, poet and critic, the author of sixteen books: six novels, eight volumes of poetry, a critical study of film noir, and a novel for children. Christopher graduated from Harvard College with an A.B. in English Literature. After traveling extensively abroad, he returned to New York and began publishing his work. He taught at New York University and Yale before receiving an appointment as a professor on the permanent faculty of the Writing Program of the School of the Arts at Columbia University. From the 1970s, his work has appeared in The New Yorker, Esquire, The New Republic, The Paris Review, The Nation, and The New York Review of Books. For 43 years, Hugh Sidey has been reporting on the White House for Time, Inc. His lively column, The Presidency, has been featured in Time magazine during the past seven administrations. Nobody understands the complex interplay of personality and power in the Oval Office better than he. Nobody writes about it with as much vitality and depth of experience. Lavishly illustrated with photographs from Time magazine's exceptional archives, this is a bracing and intimate view of our last eleven presidents, from FDR to Bill Clinton. At the heart of the book is a fresh profile of each man, drawn from Sidey's unparalleled access to the inner workings of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Vintage columns, each with a new introduction, can be found here as well., Little, Brown and Company [A Bulfinch Press Book], 2000, 3, New York: Rizzoli, 2006. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 176 pages. Frontis illustrations. Illustrations (most in color). Maps. Introduction by David Rumsey. Coda. Appendix: Makers of Maps and Views of San Francisco. Bibliography. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Sally B. Woodbrige is an architectural historian and critic who lives in Berkeley and has been writing books and articles about California architecture and architects for more than 50 years. David Rumsey is an American map collector and the founder of the David Rumsey Map Collection. He is also the president of Cartography Associates. Rumsey was a lecturer in art at the Yale School of Art for several years. The David Rumsey Historical Map Collection is one of the world's largest private map collections. It has over 150,000 maps and cartographic items. The collection was created by David Rumsey who, after making his fortune in real estate, focused initially on collecting 18th- and 19th century maps of North and South America, as this era "saw the rise of modern cartography." San Francisco in Maps documents the evolution of this fascinating and beautiful city through 72 breathtaking antiquarian maps, spanning four centuries. The gorgeous maps, many of them hand colored and rarely seen, bring alive the history of this vibrant city. These maps range from the early days when they served to aid ship navigation of this unfamiliar and frequently foggy harbor; to the gold rush era in the mid-1800s, when the city's population grew exponentially and it saw the beginnings of neighborhoods like Chinatown, many of which persist to today; to the period before and after the great earthquake of 1906, which destroyed 80 percent of the city, and from out of which modern San Francisco emerged., Rizzoli, 2006, 3<
