1969Best.-Nr. 55917New York: Vantage Press 1969. First edition. Very good plus in a very good jacket. Garrulously inscribed first edition of this scarce self-published first-person account of life on the road with the Chicago Outlaws. Unassuming factory worker George "Rock Conte" Mitchell falls in with the notorious Chicago Outlaws seemingly out of nothing but curiosity: "I had never met or encountered anything which split my imagination as this group did." He published this account with Vantage Press at his own expense reporting credulously and forgivingly on the gang "many of the stunts they pulled off just didn't seem to make any sense . I had seen only one member smoke marijuana" some of whom were also seen and heard from in Danny Lyon's THE BIKERIDERS. Inscribing the book six years after publication Conte echoes the also presumably self-penned jacket copy in comparing his mission to that of John Howard Griffin in BLACK LIKE ME but OUTLAWS FOREVER brought no publicity to the divide between the straight world and that of the riders. Perhaps because HELL'S ANGELS had already claimed it all for Hunter S. Thompson several years before. OCLC locates just six scattered holdings. 8'' x 5.5''. Original black cloth boards silver stamped spine. In original unclipped $4.50 pictorial jacket. 8 pages of black-and-white photographs. 216 pages. Inscribed to front free endpaper: "To / Rob & Sue: / I feel like 'John / Howard Griffin' author of / 'Black Like Me'. There is / always another side to a story. / Sometimes one may pay a / dear price & suffer but one / should never give up. / I wish the two of you the best of everything and hope / your dearest dreams come true. / Sincerely Your friend / Always / Rock Conte / 5-24th-75." Jacket lightly toned with minor soil and few small chips. Faint toning to text block. Bit of pushing to spine tail. Overall sound and clean. Vantage Press unknown books
1982Best.-Nr. 235301982. Five Transvestite Fiction Booklets containing reflections on gender trans identity self expression from 1982-1994 including story titles such as "Sissy in Satin" "Living Doll" "Jim into Jamie" "Trapped in Panties" "My Husband Married Me To be a Woman" "Letters to Cathy" "The Adventures of a Boy Turned Girl" and "Caught.In My Sister's Clothes." A first-person passage states that a transvestite needs "feedback from others" to understand "gait" "voice" and "other mannerisms" while "perfecting a gender role" placing social performance and self-assessment inside the language of everyday presentation. The group emerged during a period when queer and trans communities faced AIDS-era stigma homophobic public discourse and the lingering legal and social memory of anti-crossdressing enforcement in American cities. By 1980 defendants had challenged cross-dressing arrests in at least sixteen cities while the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic began in 1981 and intensified public hostility toward already stigmatized queer communities. These booklets preserve small-press fiction created for readers seeking transvestite crossdressing and transfeminine narratives outside mainstream publishing with fantasy plots gender transformation motifs and direct language about feminine identity appearing within the same print culture. Crossdressing and Transvestite Fiction Booklets. Seattle and s.l.: Empathy Press and unidentified publishers 1982 to 1994 and undated. Five staple-bound booklets each approximately 50 pages including three Empathy Press titles and two related transvestite or crossdressing fiction titles. 1 Slavik Charles. Skirted Men: Tales of Transvestism. Book 2. Seattle: Empathy Press 1982. The contents page lists "Sissy in Satin" beginning on page 4 with copyright credited to Charles Slavik and the publisher given as Empathy Press P.O. Box 12466 Seattle Washington 98111. Princeton cataloging identifies Charles Slavik as creator of another Empathy Press Skirted Men issue confirming the publisher's place within late twentieth-century LGBTQIA periodical and ephemera collecting. 2 TV Queens Fiction Digest. Number 23. Seattle: Empathy Press 1990. The contents page lists "Living Doll" "Jim into Jamie" and "Trapped in Panties" and the imprint invites readers to send material if they "enjoy writing and would like to see your fantasies in print." That solicitation places the digest within a participatory reader-writer circuit where fantasy manuscripts could move from private desire into small-run printed circulation. 3 Secret Pleasures: The Crossdressing Experience. Book 16. Seattle: Empathy Press 1994. The contents page gives the story title "My Husband Married Me To be a Woman" and the front cover identifies the work as "A Transvestite Fiction Fantasy." Gerber/Hart's transgender periodicals exhibit describes Cathy Charles Slavik's Empathy Press enterprise as evolving by the early 1970s into several concurrent trans-oriented magazines giving this later booklet a connection to a publisher with a longer transvestite and trans readership history. 4 Silky Slip-Ups. S.l.: s.n. undated. The cover caption reads "Coming out. Caught out. Found out. BUT EVENTUAL ECSTACY" using discovery exposure and eventual pleasure as the narrative promise. The cover art and title align the booklet with forced-feminization and crossdressing fiction conventions described in trans small-press fiction where many plots turn on coerced dressing transformation or power exchange. 5 Astounding Transvestite Tales. Number 12. Seattle: Empathy Press undated. The contents page lists "Letters to Cathy" "The Adventures of a Boy Turned Girl" and "Caught.In My Sister's Clothes" with the publisher given as Empathy Press Box 12466 Seattle Washington 98111. The yellow illustrated cover and serialized number place it squarely within Empathy Press's small-format transvestite fiction output adding another example of the publisher's recurring use of readerly address transformation narrative and discovery plot conventions. The booklets use the historical vocabulary of "transvestism" "crossdressing" "feminine identity" and "gender role" before "transgender" became the dominant umbrella term in many public and archival contexts. Their contents connect erotic fantasy to questions of passing social recognition voice gait coming out exposure and reader participation making the group especially useful for tracing how trans and crossdressing readers articulated identity through small-format fiction during the 1980s and 1990s. All five booklets are in very good condition with intact spines minor price-sticker residue light discoloration and handling wear to the covers. The group preserves an early small-press record of transvestite and crossdressing fiction made around the desires anxieties vocabulary and self-fashioning practices of its own readership. unknown books
1987Best.-Nr. 238301987. Ivan Velez Jr.'s Tales of the Closet issues 1 through 8 1987 to 1992 follows eight gay and lesbian teenagers in Queens through isolation family violence homophobia racism health pregnancy religion drug use and the fear of being outed. Published by the Hetrick Martin Institute as an educational comic for gay and lesbian young adults the series placed Puerto Rican Black white and Asian American teenagers within the same continuing narrative at a point when AIDS suicide and family rejection shaped the Institute's work with queer youth. Tony Vega Ramona Sinclair Mary Ryan Kyle Hooks Shorty Mancini Scott Lind Jenny Chin and Benjamin Kanas recur across the series allowing Velez to address sexuality alongside race class religion gender and family life through characters whose relationships develop from issue to issue. The present group contains the first eight consecutive issues of the nine issues eventually published between 1987 and 1993 lacking only the final issue and preserves nearly the entire original Hetrick Martin Institute run before Velez later returned to the work in collected form. Velez Jr. Ivan writer and artist. Tales of the Closet. New York: Hetrick Martin Institute 1987 to 1992. Near complete run of eight consecutive comic issues nos. 1 through 8 of nine published. 8vo. Original pictorial wrappers with black and white illustrated interiors. Velez's cover scenes range from the eight central teenagers carrying placards to figures confronting brick walls shattered surfaces urban streets and other graphic expressions of confinement and conflict. Interior thematic title pages organize individual installments around social problems encountered by the recurring cast and Hetrick Martin Institute publication statements identify the series as a "Graphic Book" project associated with lesbian and gay youth suicide prevention. The first issue dated "Summerfall 1987" bears the interior heading "isolation"; subsequent issues carry the narrative through themes including health pregnancy and religion. Issue no. 5 opens its "pregnancy" section with named character portraits and recounts friendships formed amid secrecy fear and threatened violence while no. 6 describes the protagonists as "a tight knit group of friends" confronting religion drug abuse and suicide. The Hetrick Martin Institute had been working with lesbian and gay youth in New York before Velez began Tales of the Closet and the comic translated that institutional mission into serialized narrative directed toward teenagers themselves. Contemporary coverage from the period describes Tales as written and drawn by Velez and following a multiracial multiethnic group of eight gay and lesbian teenagers while the series' original publication context placed copies directly within the Institute's youth outreach work. Velez's decision to sustain the same ensemble across multiple years gave subjects ordinarily isolated in educational literature a shared social setting: Tony's Puerto Rican family conflict Ramona's experience as a Black lesbian and the lives of Mary Kyle Shorty Scott Jenny and Benjamin allow questions of sexuality to unfold amid racial identity reproductive crisis religion violence addiction friendship and unstable family relationships. The AIDS crisis forms part of the immediate setting in which those subjects were being presented to young readers while suicide prevention appears within the publication program itself rather than as retrospective interpretation. The series remained unfinished after nine issues ending before Velez could publish the planned conclusion; he subsequently began collecting the original comics in 2005 with the intention of completing the narrative. Light toning to pulp paper stock as expected with minor edge wear rubbing and softening to corners; pictorial wrappers remain bright. Overall very good condition. A near complete consecutive run of the Hetrick Martin Institute's graphic outreach to lesbian and gay teenagers preserving eight years of Velez's recurring Queens cast as they confront queer adolescence during the AIDS crisis through a medium produced expressly for young readers. unknown books

"The Mary Sisler Collection was the most important private collection of works by Duchamp; and the exhibition a historical event. It was the first and the most inclusive Duchamp retrospective to be held by a private gallery in the United States" Schwarz. When Mary Sisler saw the first version of the catalogue she was incensed that her name was not only much smaller than Duchamp's but at the bottom of the title-page and demanded that the catalogue be withdrawn and be reissued. As a result surviving copies of the first version are extremely rare. Both deluxe editions contain an original print by Niki Ekstrom of a photograph of Duchamp and are from the original edition of 100 signed and numbered by Duchamp who also boldly wrote his name in brown marker on the cover of the suppressed version and put his signature and Mary Sisler's name in brown marker on the front cover of the replacement version. The first version comes from the collection of the publisher of the catalog Arne Ekstrom and is reproduced in Etant Donne No.10 p. 86.
