Forbidden Dreams

Publisher's black cloth blindstamped lettering on upper board and spine; full-color photo-illustrated dust jacket; folio; unpaginated approx. pp. 150 with full-color photo-illustrations throughout. Inscribed to Elaine Kaufman 1929-2010 beloved restauranteur to NYC's stars and scoundrels on the half-title page "December 1984 / To Elaine / May all our dreams come true. / Glorya and Murray". Book is fine appearing new. Dust jacket faintly scratched and scuffed. An excellent copy. Elaborately staged fashion photography from the 1980s unironically capturing the decade's aesthetics "passion!" "glamour!" and profound silliness. It's a crying shame on Urban Outfitters that they haven't put up the dough to produce a second edition. Just saying. <br/><br/> Quartet Books hardcover books

BLAKE William P.
Geological Section from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean
U. S. Pacific Railroad Exploration & Survey War Department. Map. Lithograph with original hand coloring. Image measures 26.75 x 38.5".<br/><br/> This fascinating geological section of the Mississippi River derives from the investigations of Jules Marcou a French geologist who worked extensively in North America. In 1853 under the service of the U.S. government he became the first geologist to cross the United States as part of the Pacific railroad exploration headed by A.W. Whipple that was then then underway. This map was the result of his travels and was published as part of a report entitled "Reports of explorations and surveys to ascertain the most practicable and economical route for a railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean made under the direction of the Secretary of War in 1853-4." Presented as a geological cross-section the map is color-coded to indicate the type and age of the rock along the river as per a key in the upper left. Mountain ranges are simply but delicately rendered and valleys are labeled beneath each section to show their expanse. The map also provides the locations of various creeks forts Indian territories and intersecting rivers. The map is in good condition with original folds as issued. Some tears at folds. William P. Blake was the Geologist of the Office of the Unites States Pacific Railroad Surveys. These surveys were conducted in 1853-1855 in the interest of finding possible routes for a transcontinential railroad. This map functions as a document of the kinds of investigations conducted in this period of rapid Western expansion.<br/><br/> U. S.
