1706réf. 87605Nürnberg: Joh. Leonhard Buggel 1706. Second edition.

Pressure-stamp of a 20th-century owner to base of title page David B. Dickens. Two small ink-spots to the engraved extra-title; mild age-darkening to text but overall a very clean and attractive copy. Very Good. Text entirely in German. Uncommon collection of brief parables and humorous vignettes each intended to illustrate a particular virtue vice or crime - Rejuvenation Kindness Friendship Industry; Superstition Jealousy Fratricide Adultery etc - built around the author's conceit of a book organized as a pleasure-garden wherein "Just as a garden lover tired from office business and worries is refreshed again and.comes alive when he strolls around in his sweet-smelling flower field picking a little flower here and there.so a person recovers his spirits when he occasionally devotes an hour to reading various moral stories picking their morals as he would flowers and fruits and applying their beneficial use." from the author's Foreword; translation ours. Apparently the only published work by Caspar Blanckard to whom we can find no reference beyond his authorship of the current work. Very scarce; OCLC and KVK find only three physical locations for any edition; we note another apparently unindexed copy in the Harold Jantz Collection of at Duke University. This copy from the collection of David B. Dickens long-time professor of German Language and Literature at Washington & Lee University. Joh. Leonhard Buggel unknown books

1982réf. 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
