Pair of original mid‑1960s Art Buchwald paperbacks — sharp, bright covers and that great Cold War–era satire he’s known for. These are the Fawcett Crest editions from 1964–65, the Johnson‑era political humor sweet spot.

Includes:

• The Establishment Is Alive & Well in Washington (1964)

• And Then I Told the President (1965)

Condition:

Both books are in excellent vintage shape — clean covers, vivid color, tight bindings, and uncracked spines. Light age toning as expected. No writing, no tears, no loose pages.

Great for collectors of mid‑century political humor, Cold War Americana, or anyone who loves Buchwald’s take on Washington, status symbols, Russia, Kennedy/Johnson‑era politics, and his classic satirical “organizations” like F.I.N.K.
