Attic Overflow - History

The Art Agnos Years, 1988-1991 San Francisco

$4.00
This book was written by Warren Hinckle. Mr. Hinckle was editon of various magazines of the Bay Area including the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner newspaper. The book was published in 1991 and this is a 1st edition.

A small, yet very powerful book about the rise and fall of the 1988 through 1991 Mayor of San Francisco. I've read bits and pieces of this book, and hope I get time to read it all before it sells. From what I've read so far, this man pulled no punches when it came ....

3702 Squadron Lackland Military Training Center Texas 1973

$6.00
This book appears to be a yearbook of sorts. The only page where I found a date was in the center tri-fold page showing a photo of the 3702 Squadron, and the date of November 1973. I don't believe this book is strictly about that unit as there are hundreds, if not thousands of people in the various photos throughout the book, but only about 50 or so people in this tri-fold photo. Included inside this book when I received it were a small pamphlet and a letter informing two soldiers of promotions.....

Mystery Magic and Medicine 1933, 1st Edition, Howard Haggard

$6.00
This is a hard back book with no dust cover. It measures 7 1/4 inches by 5 inches and has 192 pages. It is stated as a first edition from 1933. There are photos and illustrations. Flipping through it I get the impression that it is a history of medicine. I see no torn pages or writing on the pages.

Condition: The corners have small bumps. The cover has some chipped off pieces, mainly along the bottom as you should be able to see in my photo. The back spine is loose and is missing t....

Pine Hollow School Concord California, 2 Yearbooks 1975-1977

$15.00
Both yearbooks are from Pine Hollow School in Concord California. I'm not sure if this school was considered a middle school, or a Junior High School as both have 7th and 8th grade classes. Both have basically the same sections of Staff, Students, Clubs, Sports, etc. And, both have the normal signatures and writings that are expected to be found in a yearbook.

One book covers the years 1975-1976, and the other book covers 1976-1977. They've got some bumps on the corners that they p....

Here Is Your War, Ernie Pyle 1943 WWII Correspondent

$4.00
This is a hard back book with the original dust cover. It is copyright 1943. There are 304 pages, with a little yellowing starting to set in. The dust jacket has a couple of tears, but the book is in great condition. The book still has the original $3 price on the inside cover. There are sketches with many of the stories.

From the inside dust cover flap: "For six months Ernie Pyle, roving Scripps-Howard correspondent, wrote news columns about the war in Tunisia which were increas....

River Road Recipes, Junior League of Baton Rouge LA Louisian

$4.00
Info from the foreword page: The River Road, from Baton Rouge along the Mississippi River to New Orleans, is a section famous for good cooking, which is so much a part of our heritage and tradition here in Louisiana. Our culinary history is old. Influenced principally by the French and Spanish, it is Creole Cooking. And it is truly Southern! The French enhanced their own outstanding cuisine with the great abundance found in Louisiana – the herbs, seafood, game, meat, vegetables and fruits. ....

Catechism of the Greek Eastern Orthodox Church, 1945

$4.00
The book is by Metropolitan Germanos Polyzoides. The title page states that it is a Sunday School Primer and a second edition. It is dated 1945 and has 100 pages.

I picked this book up recently at an estate sale. I have not read it, but have flipped through it and see no torn pages or markings on the pages. From glancing at a small portion of the writings, it appears that this book is geared towards children and teaching them about being a part of the Greek Orthodox Church. I could ....

Smaller History of Greece, 1897 William Smith

$4.00
I picked this book up recently at an estate sale. I have not read it, but have flipped through it and see no torn pages or markings on the pages. The only markings that I see inside is a stamp from an old bookstore in San Francisco, and one from an old bookstore in Los Angeles. On the inside hard cover there is what looks like a price of 14.45 written. It also looks like at one time there was a message written, but it has been erased and barely noticeable. The cover is stained along the bottom a....
