KRAITCHIK MAURICE
NUMBER THEORY -MANUSCRIPT & OFF PRINTS.
1925. Original Wraps. Very Good. Three off prints on Theory of Numbers: Théorie Des Nombres & Sur les nombres de Fermat. Comptes rendus des séances de l'Académie des Sciences t. 180 p. 799 séance du 16 mars 1925 4to off print numbered p.1-2.; Sur Le Nombre N= 1/9 1023 & 1 8vo. 3 1p. ; Sur Les Nombres De Fermat. Fn= 22n 1. 8vo. 5 3p. Plus approximately 65 pages of manuscript notes in French with calculations. <br/><br/>The majority of the manuscript pages appear to deal with quadratic forms in Leonard Dickson's - Studies in the theory of numbers. 1930 which contains numerous original investigations in the theory of quadratic forms in three or four variables. In Dickson's earlier work on the History of the Theory of Numbers 1919-23 he provided little interpretation and made no attempt to contextualize the results being described. It is probably with this background that Kraitchik devoted much of the manuscript sheets to Dickson's work. Other manuscript notes dealing with other equations from Euler "Continuous la table" dated March to December 1939. The last group of manuscript pages in 8vo deal with equations from a publication of Landarsic Backman dated November 1931 and May 1938. There are a few loose sheets with calculations but no identification. These may be sheets used to make rough calculations. Together this manuscript collection and off prints offer a very good example of Kraitchik's thinking in regards the theory of numbers. Although Kraitchik is often thought of in relation to Recreational Mathematics he really spent considerable time with the Theory of Numbers. The present collection of 3 off prints and manuscript sheets most of which are on square lined sheets is thus quite rare and significant for this noted 20th century mathematician. paperback books

A collection of signatures from 10 esteemed children's authors and illustrators with additional doodles by the signees presumably signed at the same gathering as the signatures are in the same pen. Ruth Krauss was the author of many children's books including The Carrot Seed one of many collaborations with her husband illustrator Crockett Johnson; eight of her books were also illustrated by Maurice Sendak. Remy Charlip was a dancer choreographer and founding member of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company before finding an even larger audience writing and illustrating children's books including Dress Up and Let's Have a Party. Maurice Sendak wrote and illustrated many books his most popular being Where the Wild Things Are. Margaret and H. A. Rey were a married couple and were best known for their Curious George series. Karla Kuskin wrote or illustrated over 50 titles also writing under the pseudonym Nicholas J. Charles. She also reviewed children's literature for The New York Times Book Review. Ezra Jack Keats is most famous for The Snowy Day which he wrote and illustrated in 1962 winning the next years Caldecott Medal. Miriam Schlein wrote nearly 100 books that helped teach children about various subjects including animals and space and time. Harvey Weiss wrote The Big Clean Up together with many "How to" and factual books for children and young adults. Crockett Johnson is best known for the comic strip Barnaby with Mr O'Malley. Ten autographs on 2 leaves of ruled paper removed from a spiral bound notebook. Remy Charlip has added a drawing of a cat Maurice Sendak a drawing of a sitting dog H. A. Rey a drawing of a giraffe Karla Kushkin a drawing of two dogs Ezra Jack Keats a drawing of a stick man Harvey Weiss a drawing of a worried face and Crockett Johnson a drawing of Mr O'Malley flying.

A HOLE IS TO DIG
New York: Harper & Brothers 1952. Near fine in very good plus jacket. First edition later state of the commercial and critical success that established Sendak's talent as an illustrator and Krauss's reputation for capturing child-like lyricism. Krauss enjoyed enormous acclaim particularly in the 1950s as a writer on her own terms for her children's books that are now better known today as early "Sendak titles." Biographer Philip Nel argues that because she "treated them as equals children accepted Krauss as one of them confiding in her telling her stories or just playing while she watched. She listened wrote down what they said and used her poet's ear to select phrases that displayed a natural unrehearsed lyricism."<br /> <br /> Krauss along with her husband Crockett Johnson was a formative mentor for Sendak. While their relationship was often strained Sendak felt that "part of her fury was educating me the dumb Brooklyn kid into a more interesting human being. She was determined that I have more insight that I think higher" quoted in Nel 178-9. A nice copy of their first collaboration. 6.5'' x 5.25''. Original quarter teal cloth color pictorial paper boards. In original unclipped $1.50 color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated by Sendak on every page. Later state with "Grr" present on page 23. 48 pages. Address sticker on front fly leaf partially removed; shallow rubbing to jacket extremities. Harper & Brothers unknown

Krauss, Ruth; Sendak, Maurice
A HOLE IS TO DIG
New York: Harper & Brothers 1952. Fine in near-fine jacket. Inscribed first edition later state of the commercial and critical success that established Sendak's talent as an illustrator and Krauss's reputation for capturing child-like lyricism - an especially nice copy inscribed by Krauss. Krauss enjoyed enormous acclaim particularly in the 1950s as a writer on her own terms for her children's books that are now better known today as early "Sendak titles." Biographer Philip Nel argues that because she "treated them as equals children accepted Krauss as one of them confiding in her telling her stories or just playing while she watched. She listened wrote down what they said and used her poet's ear to select phrases that displayed a natural unrehearsed lyricism."<br /> <br /> Krauss along with her husband Crockett Johnson was a formative mentor for Sendak. While their relationship was often strained Sendak felt that "part of her fury was educating me the dumb Brooklyn kid into a more interesting human being. She was determined that I have more insight that I think higher" quoted in Nel 178-9. Their first collaboration. 6.5'' x 5.25''. Original quarter teal cloth color pictorial paper boards. In original unclipped $1.50 color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated by Sendak on every page. Later state with "Grr" present on page 23. 48 pages. Jacket rubbed at spine head. Harper & Brothers unknown
