Hart, Anne
The Life and Times of Miss Jane Marple signed
New York: Dodd Mead & Company 1985. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Inscribed & Signed by Author. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Hart "has examined every short story and novel in which Miss Marple appears uncovering and tying together details and observations that even the most avid reader may have overlooked or forgotten." In addition to her other writing Hart 1935-2019 was head of the Centre for Newfoundland Studies from 1976 until 1998 and in 2004 was made a Member of the Order of Canada just like Wayne Gretzky five years later -- the only difference is that Ms. Hart had the dignity and grace to actually show up and accept the damn thing whereas the alleged Great One seems more interested in playing a little golf with Donald Trump. Warmly inscribed to previous owner "For Xxxx Xxxxxx--/who will I know/be an exacting and/knowledgeable reader of/Miss Marple's life and/times. I do hope you enjoy this book!/With very good wishes/Anne Hart/St. John's/October 24 1987". Cream boards in quarter-bound navy cloth w/gilt spine lettering 161 pages including bibliography list of Miss Marple stories and the editions in which they appeared Miss Marple feature films and television movies references. Quite mild wear to corners/spine ends previous owner's signature on first end paper in price-clipped dust jacket w/light edgewear mild surface wear. Scarce signed/inscribed.

Millard, Jamie; & Regan Smith, Meghan Suszynski (founders] Meg Lionel Murphy (editor)
Paper Darts A Collection of Art Lit Volume Eight Vol. 8 VIII
SCARCE! Volume Eight of this literary magazine. NOT a library discard. We have only this one copy but it is available now and ready to ship today from Henderson Nevada. Fine condition. Flat uncreased spine. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are crisp clean and unmarked -- obviously seldom if ever read. Illustrated in full color throughout. No year of publication indicated. Bound in the original lavender and yellow pictorial wraps. From a 2011 article by Laura van den Berg about Vol. 5: "Paper Darts founders Jamie Millard Regan Smith and Meghan Suszynski are 'taking back the lit scene one lame pen and quill metaphor at a time.' Since 2009 Paper Darts has produced a reliably gorgeous magazine and the organization recently expanded to include a press which will soon publish its first title John Jodzios Get In If You Want To Live a collection of 19 stories accompanied by illustrations from 19 artists. Jamie Regan and Meghan were kind enough to chat about widening readerships for literary magazines succeeding in a crappy economy Minneapolis and bringing the fun back into literature." Laura: Paper Darts was founded in 2009. How did you get your start Paper Darts: The three of us first met in 2008 while working on the staff of the Ivory Tower the University of Minnesotas undergraduate literary magazine. After graduating in May of 09 into a horrible economy we were left with the feeling of -- Okay now what -- Putting the extra time our underemployment afforded us to good use we set out to bring our community a new kind of literary magazinesomething that embraced color design humor and risk and really utilized social media in a way we hadnt seen much before. The whole process of getting started was extremely grassroots mostly a matter of meeting in coffee shops and our apartments everyday and saying lets do this. We solicited work from our artist and writer friends until outside submissions began rolling in taught ourselves web design and built paperdartsdotorg and embraced a print-on-demand model to keep costs in line with our budget of $0.00. We had a pretty diverse array of skills going into it design/illustration project management writing etc. which have developed immensely over the past two years but by far the most important thing we ever put into Paper Darts was a LOT of hard work".

Wiles, Ralph Wm (William)
PIPE DREAMS and MEMORIES an autobiography inscribed & signed
New York: William-Frederick Press 1953. Book. Illus. by Adri Ames dust jacket illustration. Very Good. Hardcover. Inscribed & Signed by Author. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A retired U.S. Army major born in Bridgewater Nova Scotia in 1882 tells his story one that is "a special combination of hereditary influences and the seeming manifestations of psychic phenomena" a "provocative theme that runs through gripping tale after tale of fighting against the fierce proud Moros of Mindanao; the long arduous service on the Western Plains; the lonely confinement of stations throughout the states and in other lands; the unique character of Army life and the brief ventures into varied civil occupations." Part of the author's story took place in Atlantic Canada New Brunswick -- mainly St. Stephen -- and Nova Scotia. Wiles has written on the second end paper the following inscription: "To my friend/Donald Inches/With best wishes./Ralph W. Wiles" which is a nice little inscription in and of itself but which takes on greater appeal when considering the dedication: "PRESUMPTUOUSLY DEDICATED to myself by suggestion and in honor of JAMES A. and HELEN LOUISE INCHES and their family -- son DONALD and daughter DORIS; all if whom were my friendly and helpful neighbors during my residence in my mansion in St. Stephen New Brunswick." Additionally a poem attributed to one H.L.I. presumed to be the aforementioned Helen Louise Inches extolling the virtues of an unnamed "Major" is printed on the verso of second end paper. Flaxen cloth w/gilt lettering to front cover/spine 312 pages illustrated. Gently bumped/mildly worn corners/spine ends tanned/lightly smudged edges in edgeworn dust jacket w/chipping to corners/spine ends sun-darkened spine edge tears. Jacket now in protective mylar sleeve which spruces up the thing rather nicely. Uncommon signed/inscribed and certainly not easily found with another inscription so closely associated with people involved in the author's life. William-Frederick Press Hardcover

Paris: Chez Gerard Libraire 1808. Hardcover. Good/No DJ as Issued. Volume two only 1808 probably second edition though not stated with 288pages plus one page of endnotes and one page errata. No illustrations. The pages have a waviness indicative of exposure to humidity this however is not noticeable at first glance since the book lies flat and square. The pages are bright and white with no yellowing. On the other hand there is foxing throughout in varying degrees from none to considerable depending on the page see photo for example. In all cases the text is easily readable. Three pages have missing pieces of foredge margins and corners not affecting text. There are chips and wormholes at both ends of spine which does not appear to have proceeded much further my inspection found discrete worm holes near head of spine in the top margins of pages 203-22. Binding has no splits or cracks page edges have a nice marbling to them. Some abrasions on front board and edges with mild wear overall. Gilt lettering on spine well preserved. <br/> <br/> Chez Gerard, Libraire hardcover
