1817ref. 15973New Haven: Sidney Press 1817. First edition. 12 illustrations in color and black and white. VERY RARE. Small 8vo publisher’s original decorated wraps. 31 pp. A well preserved copy some with expected wear. This children’s book is called a chapbook a more modern term that derives from the chapmen. Chapmen were pedlars who hawked their goods in towns and villages and at country fairs. In 1553 Edward VI proclaimed that champmen must be licensed and Chettle in Kind Hart’s Dreame 1592 wrote that “‘Chapmen are able to spred more pamphlets.then all the booksellers in town.’” Although they sold other wares too they always had cheap booklets sometimes ballad sheets which eventually assumed the familiar form af a miniature booklet with a paper cover thatusually had a picture. Even Shakespeare in Henry IV mentioned the chapmen as did Urquhart’s Rabelais in 1653. With the growth of small printers miniature editions of old favourites could be printed. While chapbooks were ostensibly designed to help children learn how to read they often broached adult subjects and were the source of entertainment in families and villages. This edition contains: “George and Adolphus” “The Little Wanderers. A True Story.” “The Little Prisoners” and “The Illnatured Boy.” Sidney Press paperback

1926ref. 397444Brooklyn New York: East District High School 1926. Softcover. Very Good. Edited by Daniel Fuchs. Large octavo. 39 9 ads pp. Stapled and illustrated orange wrappers. Owner's name on front cover vertical crease small chip and modest wear on the wrappers very good. Also includes a page signed by many classmates but not it appears by Fuchs. Fuchs was the author of the classic Jewish-American novel A Summer in Williamsburg set in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Not only did Fuchs edit this high school literary magazine he is pictured with a brief biography as well as pictured in the class picture and here publishes the Second Prize story in the school's Short Story Contest "Isidore Goldfarb Reflects." which is very reminiscent of his later fiction. The biography reveals that Fuchs edited and contributed to the magazine for most of his high school tenure so presumably this is not his first published work. However we've seen no other copy of the magazine. His first novel A Summer in Williamsburg was published in 1934 the same year as the other great Jewish-American Depression classic Call It Sleep by Henry Roth. Fuchs later devoted himself to writing film scripts one of which Love Me Or Leave Me won him an Academy Award. East District High School unknown
