New York: New Directions 1964. First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine-. First Edition so stated. Square 8vo: viii1791pp. Publisher's finely woven beige cloth spine lettered in black brown paper-covered boards decorated in blind with PFC stripes brown laid end papers brown pictorial dust jacket printed in yellow and black. Fine in a just about Fine jacket lightly rubbed. Inscribed by Kirstein on the front fly leaf to Edith Sedwick Gibson August '67 "talking about Louis Agassiz Shaw-Baldpate p. 157." Shaw grandson of the Harvard paleontologist geologist and innovator in the study of Earth's natural history was a dancer turned psychiatrist who lived in Newton Mass. Baldpate was a sanitarium in Georgetown Mass where Shaw may have practiced. Kirstein's reference to p. 157 remains obscure. Best known for his long association with the New York City Ballet which he founded with George Balanchine Kirstein was also a distinguished author and editor. As a Harvard undergraduate he founded one of the finest literary journals of its time Hound and Horn and in 1964 he published this volume of poetry. Though he was never in combat-after enlisting in 1943 he was sent to London for the U. S. Arts and Monuments Commission then to France landing three weeks after D-day and after being promoted to Private First Class in Patton's Third Army on to Germany where he worked retrieving artworks around Munich and in the salt mines at Altaussee-he was in close contact with troops who were and the poems in Rhymes of a PFC are based on what he observed: by turns grim ribald and bizarre anecdotes about officers troop trains official chores hospitals brothels the griminess and boredom of war.

New York:: Farrar Straus & Giroux 2006. Fine in a fine dust jacket as new. First printing. "The new China where religious pilgrims cross paths with born-again capitalists and uprooted communards is a chaos of true believers pursuing different often conflicting visions of fulfillment. The author and the illustrator an American newsman and his Taiwanese wife trail a series of such pilgrims: wandering farmhands itinerant actors a qi gong guru a careerist policeman a muckraking lawyer a die-hard revolutionary agitator a Taiwanese con man a Tibetan lama and many more. The result is neither a travelogue nor an analytic set piece but a moral panorama lit from within by the divergent hopes of Chinese citizens today." Illustrated by Mei-lang Hsu. 394 pp. Farrar, Straus & Giroux, hardcover
