NIXON From: RICHARD R. ST. JOHNS Subject: Autographed copies of books. In connection with copies of the book now on sale, some other authors have gotten an awful lot of mileage out of sending personally autographed copies to a selected list of commentators, together with a note saying "herewith a copy of my book for your library", etc. It seems to me this would be a good idea, especially in connection with local radio and television people, such as Baxter Ward, Putnam, et al. R.R.St.J. RRStJ: jc cc: Bob Haldeman Lole Gaunt 3-12-62 Bob Haldeman Lists for selecting people to receive RN autographed CRISES The California list for RN autographed "Crises" looks OK to me. I wondered about adding the new Nixon County Chairmen, the Northern and Southern Vice Chairmen, and other campaign leaders, but I guess this is probably going too far. If we don't add these people, I don't think we should add the GOP County Chairmen or Party hierarchy other than the four you already have. One possible exception might be the addition of Ruth Watson. As far as crossing any names off your list, I don't feel qualified to do so, and trust Finch and RN will take care of that. File: Candidate - Book X - Mailing Memos to Loie - X - Chron. INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM Nixon for Governor meno To: Bob Haldeman Date: 3/7/62 From: Loie Gaunt Sixz coun Subject: lists for selecting people to receive RN autographed CRISES Distribution: attached are your copies of the lists; started out using the various categories RN originally suggested; ran into lots of problems of trying to avoid duplications, and deciding where to draw the line in the various categories, and have tried to err on side of too many rather than too few, as a starting point for selections. could you please give special attention to the California lists; my knowledge of who's what now in the State too limited to include the ones who should probably be considered; also I need guidance before can proceed in the California publishers area. RN has originals of these lists, and Bob Finch has copies. Have done nothing on California Legislators, County Chairman or Party hierarchy, with exception of Pat Hitt, Joe Martin and Cap Weinbarger and John Krehbiel. Carponik RN 3-9-62 Bob Haldeman Book-of-the-Month Club Per your request, Chuck Lichenstein has reviewed Book-of-the-Month Club selections and personnel, and it is his feeling and mine that there is not enough evidence of pro-liberal or anti-conservative blas to give us the basis for any positive action. CML: 8 March 1962 MEMORANDUM FOR Bob Haldeman re Book-of-the-Month Club and "Conservative" Selections (RH memo to CML, 27 February 1962) (1) Either I spoke too soon or too loosely if the impression I gave RN (in a very offhand conversation a longtime back) was that Book-of-the-Month was, demon- strably, positively and deliberately pro-liberal and anti-conservative -- or that it had any particular political viewpoint. In any case, having gone back over the selections, alternates, and the special recommendations of the past 12-to-18 months, I find that these are about the most forceful conclusions I can come to: (a) The basic fact is that very few BOTM selections are political at all. The emphasis is on fiction. The secondary-emphasis is on non-fiction of the biography-memoir-popular-history variety (as, e.g., Schorer on Sinclair Lewis, Freuchen's Book of the Eskimo, Lord's The Good Years). Or else it is on non-fiction that is "about" politics but takes no special position -- as, e.g., Sandburg's Lincoln, Catton's Coming Fury, Ryan's Second Longest Day. A slanted point-of-view may well be built-into such books, but it would be all but impossible to prove without writing another book of textual criticism. (b) On the rare odd occasion when BOTM does recommend or select an avowedly political book with an open political position -- it sure inclines to be what most anyone would consider "liberal". Thus: the White book on 1960 Election; all of Schlesinger, Jr.'s Age of FDR volumes; Galbraith on Affluence; Gunther's return to Europe's soft- headed insides; Shirer on the Nazis (with its definition of Germany as the "ancient enemy") JFK's own masterpiece on Courage (despite its seeming balance between Dems and Reps and just plain statesmen). (c) And the Club sure does NOT recommend that rare "conservative" volume that comes down the pike. The difficulty here, of course, is that there are very few of these; that they can usually be written off as too specialized (studies of Communism by Strausz-Hupe and Burnham), too deep (economic analysis by Hazlitt and Chamberlain); or too par- tisan (Goldwater, Buckley, even DeToledano); and that we are thus left with but a handful of possibilities. BOTM has recommended the J. Edgar Hoover Masters of Deceit and the Overstreet volumes on Communism. Beyond that, however, nothing that can possibly be twisted to fit the definition "conservative in orientation" has lately turned up on the list. BOTM Memo, CML to RM (2) (2) Thus, there is a pattern here, and some strong hints, but in my view no grounds for a really solid "case". Innuendo, yes; proof, no. And as for the selection committee, the public "fronts" are all eminently respectable -- Menry Seidel Canby, Dorothy Fischer, Harry Scherman, Clifton Fadiman, J.P. Marquand have been some of the big names -- and BOTM doesn't tell us what second-level staffers actually do the picking and choosing. This, of course, is where the decision really gets made, in all but the very few cases of books that just about choose themselves (e.g., Gunther, Kennan, Catton). (3) Should I go on with this? Go deeper? If so, in what specific direction? I hesitate to do further research without further instructions -- even assuming that there are research materials available (short of reading and analyzing all Club selections for the last ten years and/or busting into their confidential intra-office files). Chuck Lichenstein 2-27-62 Bob Haldeman Book-of-the-Month Club cc: Sophie Telfer RN mentioned that you had pointed out to him the Book-of-the-Month Club has never, in recent years, selected a book written by a conservative author. He asked that you check this in more detail and that you summarize all of the Book-of-the-Month Club selections over the last several years by authors of non-political shading. He also is particularly interested in as long a list as possible of books selected by the Club which are definitely favorable to the Democratic side. Will you also please get the names of the members of the Selection Board and have all of their records checked against the Un-American Activities file. We plan to use this material in some letter writing activity and 80 would appreciate having it in as much detail as possible by March 15th. File: Candidate - Book X - Research X - Follow-up X - Chron. Carol Arth 2-27-62 Bob Haldeman Letters to Book-of-the-Month Club CONFIDENTIAL We are contemplating a letter blast to the Book-of-the-Month Club, questioning their failure to select RN's book. I have asked Chuck Lichenstein to provide me with some factual material regarding the pattern of Book-of-the-Month Club selections. We will do nothing until after publication date (March 28th), but should be prepared to move quickly at that time. I will have Lichenstein's material by March 15th. File: - Cand. - Book Prom.

RN intended to direct purchases of 1,000 copies of the book to these stores. Has he discussed with you the method of handling this ? File: Candidate - Book Promotion X - Wood X - Chron. - follow-up February 27, 1962 Dear Ken: Many thanks for your letter of February 23rd. We appreciate having the book store lists and will see that the purchases are properly spread. Best regards. Sincerely, H. R.

DOUBLEDAY & COMPANY, INC., 575 MADISON AVENUE, NEW YORK 22 MURRAY HILL 8-5300 February 23, 1962 Dear Bob: I'm delighted to have your February 9th letter, and since to have had a phone call from Jack O'Leary reporting on a session you and he had fixing auto- graphing dates. I think it's a wonderful idea to have put this on a 1000-books-no-return basis, because this eliminates the hard feelings on the part of those who simply couldn't live up to that kind of a standard. You have asked for a list of the stores which report to the Best Seller lists. The Times keeps a pretty close wrap on this information, but attached is a list of what we think the stores are, to the best of our knowledge. Attached also is the list from the Herald- Tribune's Book Review Section of February 25th, 1962. You'll remember that Mr. Nixon wanted to spread his purchases of 1000 copies among these stores. My best. Sincerely, Ken Ken McCormick Mr. H. R. Haldeman 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5, California KMcC:le Encls. file: Cand. - Book Prom. : X - Chron. February 23, 1962 Mr. Richard O'Connor Advertising Assistant Doubleday & Company, Inc. Garden City, L.1., New York Dear Mr. O'Connor: This will acknowledge and thank you for your letter regarding current promotion on Mr. Nixon's book. Your Idea of offering the book to Republican organisations and other political groups to assist them in fund raising is an interesting one. However, would you be good enough to let me know the mechanics involved in this, i.e. handling sales tax angle, is a resale license necessary, how would books be ordered etc. Many thanks for your interest and help. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman DOUBLEDAY & COMPANY, INC. PUBLISHERS GARDEN CITY, L. I., NEW YORK In Replying Refer to: February 8, 1962 Mr. H. R. Haldeman J. Walter Thompson Company 6505 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 48, California Dear Mr. Haldeman: In reference to the promotion being done currently for Mr. Richard Nixon's book, SIX CRISES, we were wondering whether it might be a good idea to offer the book to Republican organizations and other political groups to assist them in fund raising. In such a case they could receive a quantity of books at a discount which they could then resell at full list to their own members or anyone whom they chose. I would like to discuss this further and will appreciate hearing from you. Thank you very much for your time. I will expect to be hearing from you shortly. Sincerely yours, DOUBLEDAY & COMPANY, INC.

Carter Advertising Manager Doubleday & Company, Inc. 501 Franklin Avenue Garden City, L.I., N.Y. Dear Mr. Carter: A reply to your inquiry regarding the books to be autographed by Mr. Nixon has been delayed until we resolved how this could best be handled. Mr. Nixon will definitely take care of these requests and they should, therefore, be directed to Miss Rose Mary Woods in his office. I presume you will send her, at the same time, the cartons for mailing the books direct from here after they have been autographed. Your letters of January 31st and February 14th with the requests you have on hand have been forwarded to Miss Woods. She will expect to hear from you direct from here out.

If we don't add these people,\nI don't think we should add the GOP County Chairmen or Party\nhierarchy other than the four you already have.\nOne possible exception might be the addition of Ruth Watson.\nAs far as crossing any names off your list, I don't feel qualified\nto do so, and trust Finch and RN will take care of that.\nFile: Candidate - Book\nX - Mailing Memos to Loie\n-\nX - Chron.\nINTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM\nNixon for Governor\nmeno\nTo:\nBob Haldeman\nDate:\n3/7/62\nFrom:\nLoie Gaunt Sixz\ncoun\nSubject:\nlists for selecting people to receive RN autographed CRISES\nDistribution:\nattached are your copies of the lists; started out using the various categories RN\noriginally suggested; ran into lots of problems of trying to avoid duplications,\nand deciding where to draw the line in the various categories, and have tried to\nerr on side of too many rather than too few, as a starting point for selections.\ncould you please give special attention to the California lists; my knowledge of who's\nwhat now in the State too limited to include the ones who should probably be considered;\nalso I need guidance before can proceed in the California publishers area.\nRN has originals of these lists, and Bob Finch has copies.\nHave done nothing on California Legislators, County Chairman or Party hierarchy, with\nexception of Pat Hitt, Joe Martin and Cap Weinbarger and John Krehbiel.\nCarponik\nRN\n3-9-62\nBob Haldeman\nBook-of-the-Month Club\nPer your request, Chuck Lichenstein has reviewed Book-of-the-Month\nClub selections and personnel, and it is his feeling and mine that\nthere is not enough evidence of pro-liberal or anti-conservative blas\nto give us the basis for any positive action.\nCML: 8 March 1962\nMEMORANDUM FOR Bob Haldeman\nre Book-of-the-Month Club and \"Conservative\" Selections\n(RH memo to CML, 27 February 1962)\n(1)\nEither I spoke too soon or too loosely if the impression I gave RN (in a\nvery offhand conversation a longtime back) was that Book-of-the-Month was, demon-\nstrably, positively and deliberately pro-liberal and anti-conservative -- or that\nit had any particular political viewpoint. In any case, having gone back over\nthe selections, alternates, and the special recommendations of the past 12-to-18\nmonths, I find that these are about the most forceful conclusions I can come to:\n(a) The basic fact is that very few BOTM selections are political\nat all. The emphasis is on fiction. The secondary-emphasis is on\nnon-fiction of the biography-memoir-popular-history variety (as, e.g.,\nSchorer on Sinclair Lewis, Freuchen's Book of the Eskimo, Lord's The\nGood Years).\nOr else it is on non-fiction that is \"about\" politics but takes\nno special position -- as, e.g., Sandburg's Lincoln, Catton's Coming\nFury, Ryan's Second Longest Day. A slanted point-of-view may well\nbe built-into such books, but it would be all but impossible to prove\nwithout writing another book of textual criticism.\n(b) On the rare odd occasion when BOTM does recommend or select an\navowedly political book with an open political position -- it sure\ninclines to be what most anyone would consider \"liberal\". Thus: the\nWhite book on 1960 Election; all of Schlesinger, Jr.'s Age of FDR\nvolumes; Galbraith on Affluence; Gunther's return to Europe's soft-\nheaded insides; Shirer on the Nazis (with its definition of Germany\nas the \"ancient enemy\") JFK's own masterpiece on Courage (despite\nits seeming balance between Dems and Reps and just plain statesmen).\n(c) And the Club sure does NOT recommend that rare \"conservative\"\nvolume that comes down the pike. The difficulty here, of course, is\nthat there are very few of these; that they can usually be written off\nas too specialized (studies of Communism by Strausz-Hupe and Burnham),\ntoo deep (economic analysis by Hazlitt and Chamberlain); or too par-\ntisan (Goldwater, Buckley, even DeToledano); and that we are thus left\nwith but a handful of possibilities. BOTM has recommended the J. Edgar\nHoover Masters of Deceit and the Overstreet volumes on Communism.\nBeyond that, however, nothing that can possibly be twisted to fit\nthe definition \"conservative in orientation\" has lately turned up on\nthe list.\nBOTM Memo, CML to RM (2)\n(2)\nThus, there is a pattern here, and some strong hints, but in my view no\ngrounds for a really solid \"case\". Innuendo, yes; proof, no. And as for the\nselection committee, the public \"fronts\" are all eminently respectable -- Menry\nSeidel Canby, Dorothy Fischer, Harry Scherman, Clifton Fadiman, J.P. Marquand\nhave been some of the big names -- and BOTM doesn't tell us what second-level\nstaffers actually do the picking and choosing. This, of course, is where the\ndecision really gets made, in all but the very few cases of books that just\nabout choose themselves (e.g., Gunther, Kennan, Catton).\n(3)\nShould I go on with this? Go deeper? If so, in what specific direction?\nI hesitate to do further research without further instructions -- even assuming\nthat there are research materials available (short of reading and analyzing all\nClub selections for the last ten years and/or busting into their confidential\nintra-office files).\nChuck Lichenstein\n2-27-62\nBob Haldeman\nBook-of-the-Month Club\ncc: Sophie Telfer\nRN mentioned that you had pointed out to him the Book-of-the-Month\nClub has never, in recent years, selected a book written by a\nconservative author.\nHe asked that you check this in more detail and that you summarize\nall of the Book-of-the-Month Club selections over the last several\nyears by authors of non-political shading.\nHe also is particularly interested in as long a list as possible of books\nselected by the Club which are definitely favorable to the Democratic side.\nWill you also please get the names of the members of the Selection Board\nand have all of their records checked against the Un-American Activities\nfile.\nWe plan to use this material in some letter writing activity and 80 would\nappreciate having it in as much detail as possible by March 15th.\nFile: Candidate - Book\nX - Research\nX - Follow-up\nX - Chron.\nCarol Arth\n2-27-62\nBob Haldeman\nLetters to Book-of-the-Month Club\nCONFIDENTIAL\nWe are contemplating a letter blast to the Book-of-the-Month Club,\nquestioning their failure to select RN's book.\nI have asked Chuck Lichenstein to provide me with some factual\nmaterial regarding the pattern of Book-of-the-Month Club selections.\nWe will do nothing until after publication date (March 28th), but should\nbe prepared to move quickly at that time.\nI will have Lichenstein's material by March 15th.\nFile: - Cand. - Book Prom.\nX - Arth\nX - Chron.\nRose Mary Woods\n2-29-62\nBob Haldeman\nBook Store Lists\nAttached is the list of book stores which report to the New York Times\nand Herald Tribune.
