1971réf. 17215Garden City: Doubleday & Company Inc 1971. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/good . First Edition. Hardcover. This first edition of Mississippi civil rights activist Joyce A. Ladner's pioneering sociological study of urban Black girlhood comes from the library of the late influential Jewish lesbian feminist theorist activist and scholar Dr. Bette S. Tallen 1950-2023. "Joyce A. Ladner spent four years interviewing observing and socializing with more than a hundred girls living in the Pruitt-Igoe housing project in St. Louis. She was challenged by preconceived academic ideas and labels and by her own past as a black child in rural Mississippi. Rejecting the white middle-class perspective of "deviant" behavior she examined the expectations and aspirations of these representative black girls and their feelings about parents and boyfriends marriage pregnancy and child-rearing. According to Ladner 'The total misrepresentation of the Black community and the various myths which surround it can be seen in microcosm in the Black female adolescent.'" - University of Nebraska Press Ex-Ramapo College of New Jersey Library with associated label to spine and occasional stamps to pages. 8 1/2" X 5 3/4". xxvi 304pp. Moderate wear to price-clipped dust jacket with library label to spine bumping to head and tail of spine heaving toning to flaps and library stamp to top edge of text block.

1907réf. 514413London: Elkin Mathews 1907. Hardcover. Fine. First edition first issue. 16mo. 40pp. Light green cloth gilt. Contemporary owner name in blue pencil on front fly faint soil mark on front board the lettering on the spine is still bright thus near fine in a fine example of the publisher's unprinted glassine dust jacket. The very scarce first issue of James Joyce's first trade book preceded by two broadsides. This is the first binding variant according to Smoot and Cahoon A3: "First variant: Thick laid end papers with horizontal chain lines. 16.2 x 11 cm. Poems in signature C well centered on page." Published in a total edition of 509 copies. According to booksellers Bernard Quaritch Bulletin 19 1984 only "fifty or a hundred" copies of the first variant were bound and issued in 1907. Contemporary presentation copies appear in the first binding and it certainly seems plausible that due to low demand only a small number of copies were bound in 1907. Elkin Mathews hardcover books
1917réf. 463618New York: B.W. Huebsch 1917. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Second printing April 1917 of the American edition the first edition was published in December 1916 preceding the English edition. Octavo. 299pp. Blue cloth stamped in blind and gilt. Contemporary bookplate of Walter A. Donnelly on the front pastedown and his ownership signature on the front fly else very near fine in attractive very good or better second printing dustjacket with several old internal tape repairs mostly at the folds and not visible on the outside. The text of the second printing jacket appears to be identical to the text of the first printing although laid out slightly differently with "Second printing" overstamped in red on the front panel. Joyce's landmark first novel. Huebsch printed 1250 sets of sheets for the first edition selling 500 sets to England for the Egoist Press edition which was published later thus the true first edition in this case the American edition preceded the English was 750 copies. We are unaware of the number of copies in the second printing but it was likely to have been quite small perhaps as few as 500 copies. Although the first edition is rare in jacket we've at least seen a few jacketed copies. This is the first copy we've seen of the second printing in the appropriate jacket. B.W.
