Berlin Lucia; Myers Michael illustrator
A Manual for Cleaning Ladies; with: illustrated proof sheet
Washington D.C. i.e. Healdsburg California: Zephyrus Image 1977. Inscribed first edition of Lucia Berlin's first publication the twenty-page chapbook "A Manual for Cleaning Ladies." Later retitled "Maggie May" the story follows a Bay Area house cleaner through her daily routine the precisely observed details of each job gradually revealing her crushing grief: "When I smile my hand goes involuntarily to my mouth. I collect sleeping pills but you know I won't do it." Berlin has inscribed this copy: "Thank you for reading me - love Lucia." The accompanying proof sheet represents pages 7-8 and 13-14 of the completed chapbook and features two of the four linocut illustrations produced by Michael Myers including the full-page image of the narrator standing on a stove "to clean an exploded Coca-Cola off the ceiling." In her lifetime Lucia Berlin found a passionate following among fellow writers winning the American Book Award in 1991 but her spare bleakly comic fiction would not reach a wider readership until 2015 when a posthumous collection of her short stories became a surprise bestseller for Farrar Straus and Giroux. A remarkable survival in fine condition inscribed by Berlin. Side-stitched pamphlet measuring 6.75 x 4.5 inches: 20. Brown paper wrappers printed in black "National Endowment for the Domestic Arts" seal to front wrapper text printed on beige paper linocut illustrations. Inscribed by Lucia Berlin on title page. Housed in original pictorial mailing envelope printed in green. With: unbound proof sheet measuring 6.75 x 9 inches printed on both sides containing two linocut illustrations.

Attractively and very sturdily bound in contemporary red quarter morocco over glazed red boards marbled endpapers top edges gilt all original wrappers bound in sic! -- Ad 2: 183 pp. With 43 illustrations in the text. Original publisher's orange cloth. Original edition. B.H. Breslauer copy of the justly famous catalogue of the vast collection of ornamental books and prints of the Kunstbibliothek Berlin at one time the most comprehensive in existence in the field of decorative art and architecture. It comprised printed material from the late 15th to the early 19th century. The collection was based upon that of Hippolyte Destailleur the great connoisseur which was acquired in 1879 to which was added the extraordinary holdings of the Kunstgewerbemuseum and Kupferstichkabinett. The catalogue is a model of its kind with complete descriptions and plate counts often missing in reference works that claimed to "succeed" it of no less than 5435 items. The collections suffered greivous losses during WWII but the present catalogue remains of permanent value to bibliographers and art historians alike as is attested by the facsimile reprints of it all greatly inferior to ours on account of the shoddy reproductions of the illustrations. Our copy is attractively bound with all the original wrappers of the first 12 fascicles bound in. This original edition is scarce having been published in Berlin at the worst possible time in publishing history namely from 1936-1939. <br/><br/>Ad 2: The books described in this "English Architectural Art" volume were completely lost during WWII and thus the rebuiding of this collection became a priority for the Kunstbibliothek Berlin aided with a generous grant from the Volkswagon Foundation. The results are herein and present 119 titles of rare English architectural and topographical books ranging in date from Dugale's "Monasticon Anglicum" 1661 to Robinson's "Designs for Gate Cottages" 1837 all very capably described.

Van Druten John; adapted from the Berlin Stories of Christopher Isherwood
I Am a Camera; a play in three acts
New York: Random House. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1952. First Edition. Hardcover. price-clipped a little shelfwear to bottom edge otherwise a nice clean tight copy although with a small piece torn out of the upper right corner of pp.25/26; jacket very lightly browned along spine some minor surface wear and a very faint stain at bottom edge of front panel a couple of very tiny nicks at top edge of front panel. B&W photographs Van Druten's dramatization of Christopher Isherwood's autobiographical 1939 book "Goodbye to Berlin" set during the late years of the Weimar Republic just prior to the rise of Hitler and the Nazis -- although the political/historical aspects are rather soft-pedaled compared to the better-known later adaptations "Cabaret" the 1966 musical play and subsequent 1972 film. In between there was also a 1955 British film version in which Julie Harris reprised her performance as Sally Bowles from the original Broadway production. For one thing the entire play takes place in Sally's flat so essentially the Nazis are talked about but not seen; additionally although Sally styles herself as a performer in the play we never actually see her perform. .

BEER Wilhelm 1797 1850 Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin.
Wilhelm Beer: Genius der Astronomie und Okonomie 1797-1850.
Berlin:: Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin 1997. 1997. 8vo. 156 pp. Plates some in color. Pictorial wrappers. Near fine. ISBN: 3882269286 A marvelous study of the work and life of Beer. "Wilhelm Beer was a Berlin banker and brother of the composer Meyerbeer who set up a private observatory equipped with a 9.5-centimeter refractor. In collaboration with Johann H. Madler he produced in 1830 the first accurate map of the Moon Mappa Selenographica and a companion descriptive volume Der Mond describing the surface features. These showed the Moon to be a world very unlike the Earth and contradicted the pro-selenite claims of Gruithuisen and William Herschel see life on the Moon. Beer and Madler's map remained the best available for several decades and helped persuade most professional astronomers that the Moon is uninhabited. The two also collaborated in the production of the first systematic chart of the surface of Mars." David Darling. "His leisure hours were spent in studying astronomy in an observatory he had constructed in his garden. Together with J.H. Maedler he studied the planet Mars during the 1828 1832 1835 and 1837 oppositions and their findings were published. Later they made a map of the moon; over many years they recorded every aspect of the moon surface and published their findings in Der Mond nach seinen kosmischen und individuellen Verhaeltnissen oder allgemeine vergleichende Selenographie 2 vols. 1837. This was the standard work for many years." – Encyclopedia. "The first quadrant for Beer and Madler's 'Mappa Selenorgaphica' was first published in 1834 with the other three quadrants published the next couple of years."
