Condition: Near Fine

Minor sticker adhesive on rear wrapper. 2015 Trade Paperback. ix, 117 pp. This book is about hope—hope for the human condition.

Jacket bumped. 1989 Large Hardcover. 223 pp. A glossy, predictable paean to American Jewry by the producers of the Day in the Life series, this oversize collection of photographs traverses the country, capturing cowboys and Soviet Jewry activists, magicians and roving rabbis.

Hence, many of the 197 pictures, most of them color, reiterate that Jews are just regular folk: there are cozy multigenerational shot...
