'The White Book' - part biography and part archive of documents letters and articles - was published by supporters of Archbishop Afanasii of Buenos Aires as a response to allegations against him by parishioners and immigrants in Argentina and Australia. Archbishop Afanasii Anton Martos was born near Nesvizh Belarus in 1904. After holding various positions in his country in 1946 he moved to Hamburg where he worked with his compatriots at the Fishbeck DP Camp. In 1950 Afanasii was appointed Bishop in Sidney Australia and in 1956 with the death of Archbishop Ioasaf in Argentina Afanasii took his spot and sailed to Buenos Aires. On the one hand he was known to work with the Russian emigre youth publish a religious journal and manage to secure funds for buying land and ultimately building an Orthodox cathedral for his parishioners in Buenos Aires; on the other hand in a series of letters and articles he was accused of "defiantly refusing to condemn Communism" never speaking of Russia and of altogether professing anti-Russian sentiments. The publication of the book was the ultimate refutation to the "slanderous and false efforts of wicked men."

A Small Archive of Items Related to the Golden State Warriors from Their Long-time Owner Frank Mieuli's Personal Collection
N/A 1975. An archive of 3 items n.d. ca 1975-1980 belonging to the Golden State Warriors's former owner from 1962 to 1986 Frank Mieuli. He was an eccentric character well-known for his bypassing the formal attire dictated by his professional position for casual clothes fun hats and his beloved motorcycle. He began his career as a San Francisco Bay Area TV and radio producer with some of its highlights being the production of the first televised 49ers game in 1954 and various Giants radio broadcasts in the late 1950s. Formerly known as the Philadelphia Warriors the Golden State Warriors were purchased by a group of 32 investors one of which was Mieuli and moved to the Bay Area following the 1961â62 NBA season. After an unimpressive first San Francisco season the investors decided to bail and Frank bought them out and became the sole owner. It was with him in 1975 when the team won its one and only NBA title to date. Mieuli sold the Warriors to Jim Fitzgerald and Daniel Finnane in 1986. He was also a co-owner of the 49ers and retained a 10% share in the partnership until his death in 2010. One of the many accomplishments he is remembered for was his dedication to breaking racial barriers by encouraging players to try for and his staff to sign on athletes regardless of their color. - A large scrapbook documenting the 1975 season and NBA World Championship; 11 x 14 1/2; stiff brown card stock wraps secured with a metal clasp and decorative thread; photograph of the NBA Cup pasted on front cover; age-toning along margins; corners a bit rubbed and worn; contains copies of newspaper articles photos and hand-written notes; overall very good. It appears that the scrapbook was compiled and given to Mieuli as a present by fans of the team although the sheets are of various color and age indicating that Frank himself might have attributed to it at one point in time. - A caricature by an anonymous artist; 14 x 15; stiff card stock; drawing on recto only in brown marker; corners rubbed; scattered age-toning and spotting mostly to margins but for a few small spots on the drawing itself; good to very good. The artwork depicts a large Native American sitting on top of a small figure subtitled "Hollywood and the Stars" displaying an enormous shoe sole with "Oakland" written on it and saying: "Join-um the good ship Mieuli or eat-um snickers for-um year!!!" - Mieuli's copy of a deposition at the Superior Court in Los Angeles in a lawsuit of Charles E. "Pat" Boone - singer actor and co-owner of another basketball team - former Oakland Americans later renamed to the Oakland Oaks - and Lemat Corporation v. AMERICAN BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION; 8 1/2 x 11; pp. 197; sheets secured with metal pegs; typed text on recto only; coffee mug rings to first page Frank Mieuli's ; scribbles notes and a few stains to last page else clean; good to very good. Lemat Corporation owner of the NBA franchise for the Golden State Warriors and Charles E. Pat Boone part owner of the American Basketball Association ABA franchise for the Oakland Oaks had separately filed against the ABA that were consolidated for trial. During the seasons 1965-1967 Richard F. Barry III then super star of pro basketball was under contract to the Warriors with an option for 1967-1968 and beyond. Though complicated the main reason for the lawsuit was the newly formed ABA's attempt to spirit Richard F. Barry III away from the Warriors and his NBA contract and sign him up with the ABA Oakland franchise. N/A hardcover books

Patrick Henry McCarthy known as "Pinhead" McCarthy and Mayor of San Francisco from 1910 to 1912 helped organize the Building Trades' Council in 1896 and became its President in 1898. It had begun with the joining of seven unions - carpenters painters decorators etc. and by 1901 the Council had grown to thirty-six component unions with over 15000 members. Right by McCarthy's side and an integral part of shaping the Council was Olaf Anders Tveitmoe who was on the Committee on Revision of the current book a Norwegian-American who had moved to San Francisco in 1898 and in a short period of time had risen to a high position in the labor movement. Tveitmoe was also the editor of 'Organized Labor' - an eight-page five-column weekly which came out on Saturdays. His commitment was evident in his first issue editorial in which he promised "a newspaper of which no Union member would be ashamed. The paper would at all times advance the interests of labor and seek to harmonize differences between existing unions. He declared that the cause of labor went far beyond shorter hours and increased wages; it included educated children happy homes prosperous communities good government and the development of a higher esteem for the working class."

Svobodnaia Piesn'. Sbornik Revoliutsionnykh Piesn' i Stikhotvorenii
New York: Max. N. Maisel 1911. First edition; 5 x 7 1/4; pp. 3 4-159 1; bound in black cloth over boards; private paper label to spine; hinges weak; spotting mostly to corners and margins of pages; piece of old tape to index page; overall in good condition. A compilation of Russian "songs of freedom" and revolutionary poems by various authors. Some of the works included are an early printings of Razrushennyi Mol' of Grigorii Gershuni a Russian revolutionary and a founder of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party and Maxim Gorky's "Piesnia o Bureviestnikie" The Song of the Stormy Petrel. Undoubtedly though one of the most interesting poems is "Fedorushka" by Tolstoy. In truth the poem was written by Russian poet Mikhail Rozengeim in 1880 for whose poetry the literary term "liberal accusation" was coined. Apparently Fedorushka was erroneously attributed to Tolstoy whom in fact did not like the poem and expressed great displeasure with the incorrect attribution. The mistake was most probably made by the publisher - Max N. Maisel who was a bookseller and publisher on New York's Lower East Side in the late 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. His shop was said to had been frequented by many political and cultural radicals. Only e-book copies of the first edition listed in OCLC. New York: Max. N. Maisel hardcover books
