Best.-Nr. 8756New York: Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute. First Edition. Original wraps. Very Good. 5X7 Inches. Archive of 14 booklets and targets including the "More Fun with your 22 Rifle" booklet. While it may seem unfamiliar to us today the America of the 1940's and 1950's included gun-wielding children in every state. Children were introduced to guns and gun ownership at a very early age. Most schools including those in New York City had pistol and rifle shooting competitions and clubs in the 1950's. Up until 1969 most New York City High Schools had a shooting club; students competed in shooting competitions and the federal government paid for rifles and ammunition. The New York City schools quietly phased out their shooting programs during the 1970s. These early comic-style brochures were marketed for sale to gun retailers as well as manufacturing companies. They were distributed as part of a national decades long campaign to entice children to gun ownership. This archive contains the original contents of the "Rifle Shooting Instruction Kit" from Remington Peters: More Fun with your 22 Rifle A Handbook of Interesting Gun Games How to be an NRA Ranger How to be a Crack Shot The 10 Commandments of Safety 10 original practice targets.

First edition. Trade paperback Glued binding. 246 p. Graywolf Rediscovery. From Wikipedia: "David Shields born July 22 1956 is an American author of nonfiction and fiction although much of his work resists generic classification. Shields born in Los Angeles in 1956 graduated from Brown University in 1978 Honors in English Literature magna cum laude Phi Beta Kappa. In 1980 he received an MFA in Fiction with honors from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop. Shields' first novel Heroes was published in 1984. From 1985 to 1988 he was a visiting assistant professor at St. Lawrence University in Canton New York. In 1989 he published his second novel Dead Languages a book about a boy who stutters so badly that he worships words. Shields' third book Handbook for Drowning: A Novel in Stories 1992 marked the beginning of his shift from traditional literary fiction toward collage the blurring of genres essay and autobiography. This shift continued and deepened in such books as Remote: Reflections on Life in the Shadow of Celebrity 1996 Black Planet: Facing Race During an NBA Season 1999 Enough About You: Notes Toward the New Autobiography 2002 and The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead 2008. Shields' next book Reality Hunger: A Manifesto Knopf 2010 argues for the obliteration of distinctions between genres the overturning of laws regarding appropriation and the creation of new forms for a new millennium. Shields is Milliman Distinguished Writer-in-Residence at the University of Washington. He is also a member of the faculty in the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers. His work has been translated into twenty languages. Shields lives in Seattle with his wife and daughter. Much of Shields' work embodies and enacts a critique of traditional categories within art and culture such as the boundary between fiction and nonfiction; for instance in Reality Hunger in which he argues for the abandonment of the traditional novelistic form because of its inadequacy in dealing with what he views as an increasingly fragmentary culture. Shields writes "I find it very nearly impossible to read a contemporary novel that presents itself unselfconsciously as a novel since it's not clear to me how such a book could convey what it feels like to be alive right now." In its place he advocates "collage" forms such as the lyric essay prose poetry and the "anti-novel built from scraps." Shields' books have generally been published to wide acclaim."
