A CONVERSATION WITH JAMES MICHENER.

NY: Jewish Theological Seminary of America, 1968. 4to, mimeographed sheets, stapled in top corner as issued. Fine. 11 pp. First edition of this long, interesting interview between Michener and NBC News Correspondent Edwin Newman, broadcast as the June 23, 1968 installment of “The Eternal Light,” a weekly television program presented by NBC “as a public service and prepared under the auspices of The Jewish Theological Seminary of America.” As noted at the end of each broadcast, a script would be sent out by the Seminary to anyone who wrote in. The conversation with Michener focused on his recently published book “The Source,” which Newman described her as a “panorama of the Jewish people in the land of Israel.” Small light stain to corner of blank verso of last leaf, else a nice copy of one of Michener’s least common separate publications.
