Clarke by Greenberg with provenance of unimpeachable order accompanying the book. An increasingly classic collection of short stories by some of the now-timeless sci-fi names. Willy Ley: "Here is a different type of anthology. This book taken in its entirety tells a story: the conquest of space. Moving from man's first attempt to reach the moon to the exploration of the ends of the universe these stories are among the finest ever published." - Willy Ley. Hailed by critics at the time of its publication as a quantum leap forward in both quality and concept for science fiction anthologies Martin Greenberg's thematically edited Men Against the Stars is a collection of twelve lengthy stories whose authors read like a Who's Who of Golden Age sci-fi including Isaac Asimov Murray Leinster A.E. Van Vogt L. Ron Hubbard Hubbard's "When Shadows Fall" is here and E.M. Hull. Not a slap-dash aggregation to get to the printer quickly Greenberg's collection was a thoroughly contemplated and planned project a selection of the very finest available stories on theme ranging back as far as 1939. Nicely complimented by a Cartier's funky pure genre period stylization jacket. A sci-fi presentation copy of the highest sort that of a veteran and astute editor to a future superstar. Arthur C. Clarke's reputation at the time was already becoming established and Greenberg shows the admiration in his skilled critical eye for Clarke's sci-fi talents in his presentation remark.

The text block separated from the binding for use as a manuscript with notes and changes by the author for a revised version thus good only. A purposely broken copy of Days on the Wing by Baron Coppens de Houthulst also known as Willy Coppens which he used to prepare the manuscript for the 1970 reissue of the book entitled Flying in Flanders. Coppens was one of Belgium’s top flying aces during World War I “credited with 37 confirmed victories and six probables.” Coppens originally wrote Days on the Wing in 1931 as a memoir of his service in World War I. In the late 1960s he reworked the piece and it was eventually reissued as Flying in Flanders in 1970. Coppens used this copy of Days on the Wing to write extensive notes for the new edition. The book also includes typed and photocopied notes and rewrites throughout the manuscript. Notes are featured in the original book with additions word changes and crossed out footnotes among other changes. Notes throughout the manuscript read “replace this paragraph” “no italics” and other notes to clean up the narrative. Also included is a Typed Note Signed by Coppens. Willy Omer François Jean baron Coppens de Houthulst was a Belgian “flying ace" and “balloon buster” during World War I. According to Coppens 40 Belgians including Coppens went to England to learn to fly at their own expense after Germany invaded Belgium in 1914. Coppens flew his first combat mission on May 1 1917 in a “Sopwith 1½ Strutter two seater.” After numerous aerial victories Coppen’s final mission resulted in a crash where his leg was amputated. Following the war Coppen was knighted for his wartime service where he became Willy Omer François Jean baron Coppens de Houthulst. During World War II he worked with resistance movements in Switzerland. An interesting collection of revisions for the memoir of a Belgian flying ace in World War I. hardcover

1945réf. 150388Paris: Willy Ronis 1945. Django and son Captivating and deeply compatissant image of Django with his young son Babik captured in 1945 by the celebrated French photographer Willy Ronis. At the time Django and his wife Naguine "were living in such a crummy cramped apartment in Paris Ronis was forced to shoot the image in a mirror to have space to capture them both" Dregni p. 102. Willy Ronis 1910-2009 "has been called 'the most poetic photographer of the menu peuple this century'. He travelled little preferring his native France better still his native Paris and best of all the patch around Belleville-Ménilmontant where he could photograph the local people of the 'popular classes' with whom he felt such a gentle affinity. Ronis was born in Paris the son of a Jewish refugee from Odessa who had a photographic studio near the Place de la Nation. His first love was music. He learned the violin and studied composition but his studies were interrupted in 1932 when his father fell ill and he took over the studio. He later claimed to find a resemblance between music and photography in 'the taste I have for composition particularly counterpoint. Many of my photographs are taken from above either looking down or up three planes in one image like three different melodies in a fugue which work together to give the piece structure and harmony'" The Guardian obituary. Distinguished jazz historian James Lincoln Collier remarks that Reinhardt is "without question the single most important guitarist in the history of jazz and probably would be named on most lists of all-time jazz greats. Despite a crippled left hand he had a solid technique; his melodic conception was formidable. and his ability to swing was immense".
