America's most beloved columnist shares 40 years of advice through letters to her only child, published here for the first time. In this witty, wise, and intensely personal collection of letters to her daughter Margo, Ann Landers delivers her own unintentional memoir.

My mother wrote this book. It took her forty-four years... Three generations of Americans grew up reading Ann Landers. Her advice guided and inspired millions. Now, by reading the letters she wrote to her daughter, everyone who loved her column can get to know the woman behind the famous name. Ann Landers was born Eppie Lederer to immigrant parents in Iowa, but her extraordinary success would bring her into the world of the rich, the famous, and the talented. She met with popes and presidents and socialized with the best and brightest of her generation. And she told her daughter all about it as she opined on world-changing events and candidly spoke of her love life after her divorce, as well as her innermost feelings about her identical twin, "Dear Abby," and their long-standing feud. Witty and often hilarious, passionate, and, of course, brimming with sound advice, Ann Landers in Her Own Words is a portrait of an American original whose profound influence still resonates today. This book brings back the voice and spirit of the woman who helped ninety million people greet the day and forever changed us with her immortal words: "Wake up and smell the coffee."

This book is a glorious celebration of Rhoda Pritzker's collection of 20th-century British art, much of which has been donated to the Yale Center for British Art. Pritzker, who was born in Manchester in1914 and emigrated to the United States during the Blitz, was an avid and daring collector of paintings, sculptures, and drawings. Keen to support artists whose reputations were still emerging, and loyal to no single school or style, she developed a unique and impressively diverse collection. While Pritzker most actively purchased pieces in the 1950s and 1960s, her collection offers a fascinating window onto postwar artistic production. Beautifully illustrated, this catalogue features a number of unpublished works and archival materials. Among the artists discussed are key figures, including L. S. Lowry, Barbara Hepworth, Anthony Caro, and Henry Moore, as well as lesser-known artists. The texts elucidate the factors that made Pritzker's method of collecting so singular-namely her relationship to an evolving transatlantic artistic community and the deeply personal nature of the works she procured.
