‎New York: St. Martin’s Press 1960. First Edition. Octavo hardcover black cloth gilt letters 250 pp. Fine in a VeryGood dust jacket with light edgewear. ‘This book which touches the heart as it challenges the mind and spirit is indeed unique. Rather than recounting of dogma cramped within rigid explications this book places the context of the Buddha’s teaching in the proper perspective of his life. Here readers may see through the Buddha’s actual experiences as he wandered around the world how he evolved the great and simple truths that have so immeasurably enriched the moral fabric of man’s life. Written by one of the great French authorities on Buddhism.it gives Western readers true insight into what for millions of people in widely differing ethnic groups has become The Way. Combining the known facts of the Buddha’s existence and the tenets of his teaching with the beautiful myths he has inspired Percheron offers an exquisite selection from the vast Indian and Tibetan Buddhist literature including sources unavailable to the general reader.’ St. Martin’s Press, [1960]. hardcover books‎

‎BIBLIOMANIA. Le Bibliomane. Vingt-quatre compositions de Maurice Leloir‎

‎Paris: Imprimerie Generale Lahure for: Librairie de L. Conquet 1894. 12mo. Contemporary burgundy levant morocco gilt extra by H.E. Laskine: triple gilt fillet around sides enclosing a blue morocco inlaid frame turn-ins similarly gilt and inlaid silk moire pastedowns and endpapers the verso and the recto opposite of comb-marbled paper original hand-colored wrappers bound in top edges gilt others untrimmed. Text and wrappers inexplicably foxed throughout see images and priced accordingly; apart from extremely minor abrasions at head and tail the binding is superb state. PRINTED FOR THE ARTIST HIMSELF Maurice Leloir as stated in letterpress on the verso of the half-title on Japon paper with an extra suite of all the illustrations hors-texte bound in. <br/><br/>Charles Nodier 1783-1844 author insatiable book collector and long-serving librarian of the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal was the progenitor of the kind of bibliophily practiced in France to the present day. He was also an unrivalled seller of books by auction. In 1838 he declared that God had made him rich enough five times to buy books and five times so poor that he had to sell them again. He sold his books for the first time in 1802 at the age of nineteen and sold reconstituted collections or parts of them at auction in 1809 1813 1817 1827 and 1829. In advance of forthcoming sales Nodier aroused a great deal of excitement by publishing his own literary and bibliographical investigations into the books to be offered in the form of "Mélanges" and "Nouveau Mélanges." It is a remarkable fact that Nodier wrote nearly all the descriptions that appeared in the posthumous sale catalogue of his library Techener 1844.<br/><br/>Nodier was in the forefront of those French collectors who had simple contemporary bindings on old books ripped off and replaced by modern more elaborate bindings; among his favored butchers were Koehler and Thouvenin. <br/><br/>Our copy does not contain any statement of limitation which was bound in ordinary copies; instead on the verso of the half-title the name of the special recipient is printed: "Exemplaire tire pour Monsieur Maurice Leloir." We have seen mention that the edition was limited to 150 numbered copies on Japon from a total edition of 500. The number of "named" hors-serie copies has not be determined but it must have been extremely small.<br/><br/>The binder H.E. Laskine clearly possessed a high degree of artistry and technical abilities; and yet very few bindings by him/her have been located: only three examples are listed in RBH's Rare Book Transactions database which currently holds more than 10 million records sic. Laskine remained unknown to Flety. [Imprimerie Generale Lahure for]: Librairie de L. Conquet unknown books‎

‎Walt Disney's Bambi The Story and The Film WITH Bambi The Flip Book BOTH books SIGNED by Ollie Johnston Frank Thomas Marc Davis Maurice Noble‎

‎New York: Stewart Tabori & Chang 1990. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Johnston Ollie and Thomas Frank. Quarto size 208 pp. signed by Ollie Johnston Frank Thomas Marc Davis and Maurice Noble. Both the book and the companion flip book are signed by animators Ollie Johnston Frank Thomas Marc Davis and Maurice Noble. Johnston Thomas and Davis were three of Walt Disneys' "Nine Old Men" and Marc Davis developed and animated the characters of Bambi and Thumper. Maurice Noble was with Disney Studios for the early part of his career and worked on the development of the Bambi film. <br/><br/>Who amongst us has not either read the book by Felix Salten published in the 1920s or seen the film done in 1942 As the authors wrote "From the start 'Bambi' was a very different picture. It had a fantasy and reality all its own separate from Walt Disney's other films. This was no imaginary forest that one could enter and leave at will. Whoever ventured in became part of an experience so strong that neither heart nor mind could ever forget its impact". <br/><br/>This book bridges the worlds between the book and the film and invite us into the world in which the authors and animators worked and lived every day: how to bring the magic of the book and the story onto the big screen. Apparently Walt Disney himself envisioned such a book for the authors dedicated the book to him with the following words: "We dedicate this book to Walt Disney who asked for it fifty years ago.Sorry Walt - you always said we were slow".<br/><br/>We are offering this set together as they were originally sold and as they were meant to be with both the Flip Book and the standard volume. BOTH VOLUMES ARE SIGNED BY ALL FOUR ARTISTS. The companion Flip Book displays short animation sequences for Bambi Ollie Johnston Thumper Frank Thomas Friend Owl Eric Larson and Bambi as the grown buck Milt Kahl.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: BAMBI - red cloth boards with title embossed on the front silver lettering on the spine pictorial endpapers etchings of Bambi's head four artist's signatures on the half-title page pictorial frontispiece title page in royal purple and black with small vignette of Bambi and Thumper the volume is replete with vintage photographs drawings and etchings.
