The first edition was illustrated by Arthur Rackham" The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature. The text with the same plates and drawings first appeared in magazine form in Good Housekeeping beginning in May 1925. This the rarest of all the Rackham limited editions was actually never signed by Rackham. The 105 copies were numbered and signed by Margery Williams Bianco this copy however apparently escaped the signing process. The text with the same illustrations by Rackham also appeared in Good Housekeeping beginning in May 1925. No limited English edition was issued.<br /> <br /> Arthur Rackham 1867-1939 is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrators of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper 1892. Over the next few years he took on more and more commissions for children's books hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic-from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Chatto & Windus unknown

[Reconstruction] Williams, William; Benjamin F Butler, John A Logan, and John Covode
cover title Relief of the Suffering Poor of the South: Speeches. House of Representatives March 13 1867
Washington: Congressional Globe Office 1867. Unbound. Good binding. Octavo. 8 pp. First edition. Folded sheet never bound untrimmed. Toning and with some shelfwear but generally in fairly nice condition. <br /> <br /> It's fair to say the general tenor of the speeches and limited debate is one of impatience. Williams sums up his frustration with this question: "now we're asked to draw $1000000 more from the pockets of the toiling yeomen of our country to feed the rebels of the South" p. 2. Along these same lines Butler suggests that the southern states and communities are not seeing to their own destitute citizens from their own coffers and that while there is means within the south to do so the Federal Government should not open its treasury. Logan takes a slightly more tempered view but still wants to know the nature of these suffering poor: "What class of people is it Is it the poor downtrodden freedmen Is it the poor white people or is it the families of the leaders of the rebellion that have caused so much weeping and wailing in our land" p. 5. Interesting and considered speeches that that illustrate the continued bad-blood between the North and the South soon after the war. Uncommon in commerce and in institutional holdings according to OCLC. Congressional Globe Office unknown

[Signed Astronaut Memoir] Mitchell, Edgar; Williams, Dwight
The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds.
<p>New York:: Putnam 1996. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Inscribed by astronaut Mitchell on the half-title page. Apollo 14 astronaut Mitchell offers a vision in which technology and intuition are harmonized in pursuit of a more advanced consciousness. When Mitchell was hurtling back to earth after walking on the moon in 1971 he had a profound sense that all things are interconnected and that the universe is an intelligent process with which we need to link up. We hear how Mitchell began a career as a fighter pilot in the years following WW II switched to NASA with the hope of being part of the new space program and came to know the legendary Wernher von Braun whom he believes was a true visionary rather than a Nazi opportunist. Mitchell tells how while returning to earth he carried out a private ESP experiment that seemed to yield positive results. Subsequently he founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences in order to test paranormal phenomena scientifically. He offers us a tour of Western thought from Aristotle to Newton arguing that intuition and science were divorced until the advent of Einstein and quantum physics. We hear a lot about synchronicity left and right brain and the concept that psychic events are quantum exchanges in the brain that link us with the larger world. From "Kirkus".</p> Putnam, hardcover

[SOCIAL FICTION] [KKK] DIXON, Thomas Jr (novel); C D Williams (illustrations)
The Leopard's Spots: A Romance of the White Man's Burden 1865-1900
New York: Doubleday Page & Company 1903. Deluxe Issue. Octavo 23.5cm; cream cloth-covered boards with titling and decorations stamped in gilt and red on spine and front cover; top-edge gilt; fore- and lower-edges untrimmed; 469pp; illustration to frontispiece and throughout. Signed by previous owner E. G. Warren on front endpaper. Shelf-soil with light rubbing to crown; Very Good.<br /> <br /> Dixon 1864-1946 an American author lawyer Baptist minister and professional racist spent his writing career romanticizing the South opposing equal rights for African Americans and glorifying white supremacy and championing the KKK as the knights of the South. "No American author of his time was more deeply devoted to the cause of white supremacy than Thomas Dixon Jr. When Dixon prepared his attacks against Blacks he drew skillfully upon an imagination that had been schooled in both the Baptist ministry and the study of Law" Blockson p.42. In his preface to the reader Dixon explains that the novel "develops the true story of the "Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy" which overturned the Reconstruction régime." <br /> <br /> The novel spans five years 1865-1870 opening shortly after Robert E. Lee signs the treaty at Appomattox and heavily promotes the post-emancipation theory of racial retrogression. "The basic premise of the theory was not only that blacks were inferior to whites but also that as they became further removed from the taming influences slavery had provided they were actually retrogressing to an even more bestial state that made their very presence a threat particularly sexually to white society. Because there was no hope of blacks' rehabilitation total segregation posed the only viable alternative and equality with whites in any area remained an impossibility" Inscoe John C. "The Clansman" on Stage and Screen: North Carolina Reacts." The North Carolina Historical Review Vol.64 No.2 April 1987 p.142. At the time of publication The Clansman together with The Leopard's Spots quickly became the biggest sellers of the young and financially struggling Doubleday Page & Co. doing much to establish them as a major publishing company. Aware of the enduring popularity of Uncle Tom's Cabin on the stage Dixon adapted a dramatic version of his novel in 1905 in the hopes of reaching a wider audience with his message; he often traveled with the touring company making short speeches between acts. The play was a huge success alternately vilified and enthusiastically received depending on the state. Dixon's message would ultimately find an even broader audience once his book was adapted into the 1915 film Birth of a Nation by D.W. Griffith formerly an actor in a stage production of Dixon's novel The One Woman. BLOCKSON 53; SMITH D-423. 84768. Doubleday, Page & Company unknown

Small 8vo: 140pp with black-and-white stills from the film. Publisher's scarlet V cloth spine lettered in silver illustrated dust jacket priced 12s/6d. A Very Fine copy. Crandell A17.I.c. "For a number of years Elia Kazan the director of several of Tennessee Williams's play on Broadway as well as films had been urging Mr. Williams to weld into an original film story two of his early one-act plays which were roughly concerned with the same characters and situation. And in the summer of 1955 while he was traveling in Europe Mr. Williams wrote and dispatched to Mr. Kazan a proposed script quite different from the two short plays. With some changes this was filmed the following winter mainly in the Mississippi rural area which had been the original setting of the two short plays." from the Publisher's Note. The film Baby Doll is the story of a middle-aged man married to a girl of twenty and of his jealousy and hatred of the young Italian immigrant who steals first his business then his wife. Carroll Baker Eli Wallach Mildred Dunnock and Karl Malden filled the principal roles. N. B.

[Three Mountains Press] Williams, William Carlos
The Great American Novel
Paris: Three Mountains Press 1923. Hard Cover. Good binding. Octavo.79 1 pp. First edition; numbered 275 of 300 copies; signed by Williams on the front free endpaper. Bound as issued in publisher's cloth-backed boards; lacking title label. Binding is bumped at the board edges; spine ends softened with some fraying; boards toned; offsetting to the endpapers; a closed tear to the fore-edge of the front free endpaper has been discreetly mended; an additional short closed tear to the fore-edge margin of a leaf had an early tape repair that was removed and mended more sensitively. All in all a reasonable copy of an uncommon book. <br /> <br /> A notable early work from one of the great American writers and issued like so many important literary works of that time from a small but significant American press in Paris. William Bird founded the Three Mountains Press in the 1920's and worked closely with Robert McAlmon's Contact Editions not long after opening. Bird was responsible for publishing and/or printing numerous major literary works of the era including several works by Ezra Pound Ford Madox Ford's Women and Men Robert McAlmon's Distinguished Air William's The Great American Novel and perhaps most notably Hemingway's second and defining work In Our Time. In fact Pound edited the series of six short prose works that included this present novel and Hemingway's In Our Time. Pound solicited Williams's work for this series about which he wrote in a letter to Williams that the "point of the thing would lie in its being really interesting." Williams's novel was that. While he later referred to it as a "satire on the novel form" his bibliographer contended that "it could be described as an attempt to explore" using Williams's own word "the background of American life" Wallace 16. An important work in its own right The Great American Novel is also rooted in the culture of expatriate artists that Gertrude Stein named the Lost Generation. Bird's Press was integrally connected to the burgeoning Modernist movement in Paris which would define a generation of writers and influence generations that followed. An important work signed by one of the great writers of the 20th century. Wallace A6. Three Mountains Press unknown

1942. First Edition. New York Peter Pauper Press 1942. 16 x 24 cm. 286 pages. With a section of photographs of the poets. Original Hardcover with original dustjacket in protective collector's mylar. Inscribed by Oscar Williams to Peter Viereck in May 1947. Very good condition with minor rubbing and edgewear on the dustjacket. Important Anthology with first edition poetry published by Conrad Aiken / W.H.Auden At the Grave of Henry James / Kenneth Allott / George Barker Requiem Anthem for the Austrian Constitution / John Peale Bishop / R.P.Blackmur / Ruth Herschberger / Randall Jarrell / Robinson Jeffers / Louis MacNeice / Karl Shapiro / Wallace Stevens - "Six Discordant Songs" / Dylan Thomas / etc. Oscar Williams December 29 1900 - October 10 1964 was an American anthologist and poet. Oscar Williams was his pen name. He was born Oscar Kaplan in Letychiv Ukraine son of Jewish parents Mouzya Kaplan and Chana Rapoport. He immigrated to New York at the age of 7. Among his influential anthologies are Master Poems of the English Language Immortal Poems of the English Language The Pocket Book of Modern Verse and the Little Treasury Poetry Series which were used in colleges and high schools around the U.S. in the 1950s and 1960s. During his lifetime anthologies he edited sold more than two million copies a nearly unheard amount for books of poetry. Many of his anthologies are still being republished today. Though a friend and promoter of poets like Dylan Thomas and George Barker Williams' own poetry is not highly regarded by critics though he published several volumes during his life time and is not nearly as accomplished as the poetry of his wife the unjustly neglected Gene Derwood 1909-1954. Among Williams' poems are "Revenge" "Poem" "Poet" "The Last Supper" and "I Sing an Old Song" "The City's Face". Wikipedia hardcover
