JOHNSTON, Edward

~Office politics and political corruption in Washington D.C. ~ Queen 9 Conjecture casts a haunting shadow over the revival of personality profiling in the workplace. The timely novel reaches a stinging conclusion about the state of the U.S. Constitution and the status of individual liberties in a society that's brooding after two decades of mismanagement and graft. For independent readers with strong personal faith who don't necessarily conform to ancient dogmas that serve the power elite, Queen 9 Conjecture breaks marble barriers with startling moxie.

Eric Gill (1882–1940) was an English sculptor, stonemason, typographer, and printmaker. He was also a controversial figure whose fascination with erotica and sex were at odds with his deep religious beliefs. Among his many enduring artistic achievements are the typefaces Gill Sans, Perpetua, and Joanna; the group of sculptures Prospero and Ariel for BBC Broadcasting House; numerous World War I memorials; and a vast array of illustrations for the private Golden Cockerel Press.   Originally published in 1940, this autobiography offers an intimate look at Gill’s life, work, and highly recognizable style.
