The Velveteen Rabbit; Or How Toys Become Real. With Illustrations by William Nicholson.
Garden City: Doubleday & Company Inc. n.d. Octavo hardcover full-color illustrated cream boards 44 pp. Near-Fine. Illustraitons throughout. “There was once a velveteen rabbit an in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white he had real thread whiskers and his ears were lined with pink sateen. On Christmas morning when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy’s stocking with a sprig of holly between his paws the effect was charming. There were other things in the stocking nuts and oranges and a toy engine and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse but the Rabbit was quite the best of all. For at least two hours the Boy loved him and then Aunts and Uncles came to dinner and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the Velveteen Rabbit was forgotten.

Williams Marion L.
My Tour in Viet Nam: A Burlesque Shocker
New York: Vantage Press. Very Good in Good dj. c.1970. First Edition. Hardcover. worn at spine ends and corners light spotting/foxing to top edge of text block; jacket moderately soiled browned and lightly stained along spine a couple of tiny stains on front panel bits of paper loss at spine ends. Very scarce vanity press-issued account of the Vietnam War by "one of the few female foreign correspondents allowed into this embattled country" -- and quite possibly the only one of that group who was African-American. A native of Kansas City the author had been a nurse a teacher a real estate broker and "the first and only black bondswoman in the State of Minnesota" and had even dabbled in politics by running for mayor of Minneapolis in 1969. According to the book's introduction the author "amazed her family and friends" in 1967 when she apparently just up and decided she was going to go to Vietnam and see for herself what this war was all about. She states that she went as a "volunteer nurse and accredited correspondent" but she never identifies what news organization she might have been affiliated with. Her observations and experiences while in country left her deeply disturbed about this "particularly dirty war" and in her book she takes a staunch position against the war. She is particularly scathing in her comments about certain other members of the press corps although she doesn't name names and about the management of the war in general and particuarly insightful as one might expect about the circumstances of black soldiers. All in all she provides a unique perspective -- definitely not that of the "mainstream media" as nobody was calling it in those days -- but her book seems to have received little or not press attention at the time. Not that this is surprising for a vanity press issue. The book is fairly uncommon with an OCLC search turning up just ten institutional copies. . Vantage Press hardcover books

Jazz Heritage
New York: Oxford University Press 1985. First Edition. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Jacket lightly toned jacket price clipped. 1985 Hard Cover. xiv 253 pp. "The Washington Post has called Martin Williams "the most knowledgeable open-minded and perceptive American jazz critic today" and countless others share that sentiment. To Gary Giddins of the Village Voice he is "one of the most distinguished critics of anything this country has ever produced: and Nat Hentoff has observed "Martin Williams persistently gets at essences and that is why he has contributed so much to the very small body of authentic jazz criticism." A companion volume to his seminal prizewinning The Jazz Tradition this book is divided into four sections. The opening part is a collection of reviews and critiques of figures as diverse as Fats Waller and Count Basie Bud Powell and Bill Evans Ella Fitzgerald and the World Saxophone Quartet. The second section shows us musicians at work during rehearsals recording dates nightclub performances; these include Miles Davis Gerry Mulligan Duke Ellington Thelonious Monk and Ornette Coleman. In a rare feature for a book on jazz the third section brings together some of Williams's "liner notes"--record annotations from outstanding LP albums by musicians from Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver through Charlie Parker and Sonny Rollins and including Cecil Taylor. In the last section Williams discusses some of the pboblems jazz has encountered as it has acquired intellectual and academic status and there are some provocative comments on the black contribution to American musical theatre and whether or not the United States has a true folk music.

History of the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance of 1851 A Study of Social Control on the the California Frontier in the Days of the Gold Rush
New York: Da Capo Press 1969. Hardcover. Near fine. Reprint of the University of California Press edition of 1921. 543 pp with index and bibliography 4 illustrations. Bound in blue cloth; no dust jacket. Light bumping to upper corners stamp of Da Capo Press on rear endpaper else fine. From the Introduction: "We cannot understand the Committee of Vigilance until we understand the failure of the courts to punish crime and the consequent survival of the resort to popular tribunals. Nor can we discern the initial need of such popular tribunals and their recognized place in the life of 1848 and 1849 until we realize the extraordinary problems that developed when a hundred thousand gold seekers swarmed into a mining region that was destitute of any form of civil government. For an explanation of this strange lack of the ordinary bulwarks of American society we must look still deeper into the unusual status of California while it was held as a military possession during the war with Mexico and.we must appreciate how these years of uncontrolled tumultous life developed in the men of California an enormous self-reliance."
