First edition eighth print hardback of LETTER FROM AMERICA (1946 - 2004) by Alistair Cooke and published by Allen Lane - Penguin Books Ltd in 2004. Numberline is a single 8.

For over half a century, Alistair Cooke entertained and informed millions of listeners around the world in his weekly BBC radio program Letter from America. An outstanding observer of the American scene, he became one of the worlds best-loved broadcasters, and a foreigner who helped Americans better understand themselves.

Here, in print for the first time, is a collection of Cookes finest reports that celebrates the inimitable style of this wise and avuncular reporter. Beginning with his first letter in 1946, a powerful description of American GIs returning home, and ending with his last broadcast in February 2004, in which he expressed his views on the United States presidential campaign, the collection captures Cookes unique voice and gift for telling stories...
