‎New York: The Bibliographical Society of America 2002. cloth. 8vo. cloth. lxii i 2551 pages. First edition. Adam Smith's great work of political economy reached French readers through reprints of English editions; a number of translations directed towards different audiences; and a host of summaries extracts and reviews in magazines and journals. Combining cultural history and bibliographical analysis Carpenter traces the transmission of this text and assesses the implications of its paratext - occurring in reviews and advertisements and in the front matter footnotes format and typography of more than thirty monographs and periodicals. He provides full bibliographical descriptions necessary for identifying these works and understanding their interpretative agenda as well as extensive quotations showing how translators commentators editors and publishers mediated Adam Smith's ideas. This publishing history also serves as an anthology of contemporary critical response to a text at first marginalized by the government and the book trade then adopted by intellectuals seeking an ideological basis for the French Revolution and ultimately established as a canonical work of economic thought requiring commentary and scholarly apparatus. An extensive introductory essay describes the textual transformation of the French editions and explains how French readers sought in them "a tool for creating a new society." With thirteen black-and-white illustrations and an index. The Bibliographical Society of America unknown books‎

‎We Seven. By the Astronauts Themselves.‎

‎New York: Simon and Schuster 1962. First edition of this first-hand account of the genesis of America's manned space program. Octavo original cloth pictorial endpapers illustrated. Signed on the half-title page by John Glenn Scott Carpenter Wally Schirra Gordon Cooper and comedian Bill Dana aka Jose Jimenez. Jimenez was a fictional character created and performed by comedian Bill Dana on The Steve Allen Show in 1959 and who became increasingly popular during the 1960s and is cited in this volume on several occasions. This character introduced himself with the catch phrase: "My name. Jose Jimenez". The character of Jose Jimenez caught on with the seven real Mercury astronauts and Dana became good friends with them: "Okay Jose you're on your way!" Deke Slayton quipped as Alan Shepard's famous first flight launched. Jose became the program's unofficial mascot and Dana was even made an honorary Mercury astronaut. Coincidentally there was a real test pilot named Bill Dana who flew as high as 59 miles up and qualified for NASA's Astronaut Badge. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. A unique signed example. The first seven American astronauts were an admirable group of individuals chosen to sit at the apex of a pyramid of human effort. In volunteering to entrust their lives to Mercury's spirit and Atlas' strength to blaze a trail for man into the empyrean they chose to lead by following the opportunity that chance circumstance technology and history had prepared for them" Swenson Grimwood & Alexander 164-65. We Seven chronicles the beginnings of American manned space exploration from the perspectives of those who pioneered it with each member of Project Mercury contributing at least three essay-length sections.
