I "To Jack Potter, best wishes, John Dos Passos, Chicago, Oct 31 '54".

Signed limited edition, number 279 of 350 sets, inscribed by the writer to his first bibliographer Jack Potter.

The USA Trilogy was first published in 1937, in a volume entitled U.S.A. The 42nd Parallel, Nineteen Nineteen, and The Big Money were originally published in 1930, 1932 and 1936 respectively and is the work for which Dos Passos is best known. The trilogy traces the historical evolution of American society during the beginning three decades of the twentieth century in an unusual nonlinear and experimental style, a technique which includes the incorporation of song lyrics (christened "Newsreels") and clippings of newspaper articles collaged beside the stories of multiple fictional narrators. Dos Passos also composed using an autobiographical form of stream of consciousness writing which he named the workings of a "Camera Eye" and which had considerable influence over writers such as Jean Paul Sartre.

The trilogy was written during a period in which Dos Passos aligned himself with the politics of the Left, before the 1950s in which disillusionment following the Spanish Civil War propelled him towards more of a contrary conservative outlook. Regardless, The USA Trilogy was a creation that followed the publication of his novel Manhattan Transfer, which lent his stream of consciousness technique to a commercial platform, and demonstrated John Dos Passos' beginning as a social revolutionary.

Great opener
Color: Blue
Had a battery operated can opener before and was always changing the batteries. Love the safety cut and this works great now that I can just charge it with my phone charger. Fits in my drawer so no counter space used

Leaves an EXTREMELY SHARP edge - cuts off entire lid from sides of can!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This can opener cut off the whole top of the tuna cans and left an insanely sharp, wobbly, very thin edge of the top of the can that nearly cut me because there was no heavy metal lip left behind to hold the structure of the top of the can! This is a very bad feature that is going to really hurt someone! I do NOT recommend this for anyone! Needs a product recall!

Lackluster
Color: Black, Color: Black
It does what it’s supposed to but only for a couple of cans before it dies. I’ve learned that I have to charge it before I put it away or it’s dead when I need it next and that’s after 2-3 cans. It’s small and fits in my drawer nice, does what it’s supposed to, just a little disappointed in how long it lasts
