1926Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) A modern fine full leather bdg. in the Ottoman style. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 134, [1] p., 1 Washington's portrait, 3 unnumbered b/w plates. First and only Turkish edition of this exceedingly rare biography of the important African-American leader Booker T. Washington. The first studies and translations regarding slavery and abolition were made in the early years of the young Turkish Republic, which had refused the legacy of its imperial predecessor. In this period, several classics of American anti-slavery literature and the present work were translated for the first time. Booker Taliaferro Washington was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to multiple presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader of the African American community and the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. Özege 11210.
1976ref. 192297New York: Ballantine Books 1976. A long time ago in a publishing house far far away. First edition signed by the ghostwriter Alan Dean Foster on the title page though solely credited to George Lucas. Published five months before the film's release this popular novelization was the world's first encounter with a long-form story from the galaxy far far away. The cover bears one of Ralph McQuarrie's famous concept illustrations a critical element in 20th Century Fox's decision to greenlight the Star Wars project. Before audiences had seen the special effects heard the sound design or absorbed John Williams's orchestral score Lucas's fast and intense story sold millions of copies. This book version is "perhaps most notable for allowing its readers to experience the interiority of characters from the film. Although the film establishes Leia's willingness to shoot the stormtroopers the novelization allows its readers to imagine the consequences of her act more vividly by narrating the stormtrooper's thoughts and aspirations" Webster p. 51. The novelization includes several key details omitted from the finished 1977 film but later retconned into the series including Palpatine p. 1 the Sith p. 8 and a medal for Chewbacca p. 219. By contrast the most famous opening line in film is here given as "Another galaxy another time". Octavo. Original pictorial wrappers designed by Ralph McQuarrie edges yellow. Bookseller ink stamp to first leaf. Extremities of wrappers creased and rubbed rear wrapper and bottom edge warped occasional spotting. A very good copy. Jeremy W.

Bifolium 22.5cm; black ink on beige paper stock. Vertical spine fold slightly off-center otherwise fine. An unrecorded program from the fourth annual convention of the National Association of Negro Musicians NANM held in Columbus Ohio July 25-27 1922 notably ending with performances by a 25-year-old Marian Anderson in an early and significant national appearance. An article by Carl Diton who accompanied Anderson on piano for these Columbus performances in The Crisis gives a contemporary dispatch on this 1922 Columbus convention: "At present the most brilliant achievement of the National Association of Negro Musicians is its conventions. This fact should not be under-estimated for in point of constructive thought to say nothing of the vast crowds of people attendant upon its evening concert sessions which the standing room of the largest procurable auditoriums is at a premium these conventions go far towards rivaling those of older and more experienced national associations. Every year brings forth an amazing wealth of the noblest kind of talent which is even to the older and more seasoned members vividly startling." Diton continues with praise of the Columbus convention "It is however the consensus of opinion that the Columbus Ohio convention of 1922 characterized by the absolute satisfaction of the delegates as to their personal comfort the total absence of anything that savoured of graft and the absolute punctuality of the sessions was the masterpiece of them all." pp. 21-22 The program concluded with a performance of three selections by Marian Anderson followed by the presentation of a scholarship to her. Soon after Anderson continued her study with voice teacher Giuseppe Boghetti and had her first studio recordings with the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1923 launching one of the most important careers in Black American music.

1890ref. 196721890. Barrows Isabel C. ed. First Mohonk Conference on the Negro Question Held at Lake Mohonk Ulster County New York June 4 5 6 1890 1890 records one of the earliest organized national discussions among white reformers politicians and intellectuals addressing the status of African Americans in the decades following Reconstruction. Convened at a moment when Black political rights were being systematically dismantled across the South through disenfranchisement and violence the conference brought together predominantly white Northern and Southern participants to debate labor education and civil status. The proceedings include the intervention of Reconstruction advocate Albion W. Tourgée whose address "The Negro's View of the Race Problem" directly challenged the exclusion of Black voices and concluded with a proposed resolution that failed to gain support. Statements within the conference reflect prevailing racial barriers including the observation that in Philadelphia "a colored man may carry mortar up a ladder but he is not allowed to lay the bricks" underscoring systemic exclusion from skilled labor and economic advancement. Barrows Isabel C. ed. First Mohonk Conference on the Negro Question Held at Lake Mohonk Ulster County New York June 4 5 6 1890. Boston: Geo. H. Ellis 1890. Softcover pamphlet format 142 pages measuring approximately 24 cm. Original front cover preserved and laid in with a color facsimile wrapper supplied for protection. Text printed as conference proceedings compiling speeches discussions and resolutions delivered across the three-day meeting. Produced during the consolidation of Jim Crow policies and the retreat from Reconstruction-era protections this document provides direct evidence of how white-led reform movements framed and debated Black citizenship at the national level. The absence of substantive Black participation alongside Tourgée's protest highlights tensions between advocacy and paternalism within late nineteenth-century reform discourse. As a printed record of policy-oriented discussion the volume supports research into labor exclusion education policy and the ideological foundations of segregation-era governance. Minor staining to lower margins; otherwise very good condition. unknown

Published during a period of expanding Black media and activism Negro Digest functioned as a central platform connecting literary production with political discourse tracing shifts from integrationist arguments in the postwar years to the cultural nationalism and artistic experimentation of the late 1960s. The inclusion of theater-focused issues reflects the increasing importance of performance as a site of political expression within the Black Arts Movement while earlier issues address labor segregation and international Black identity. Light edge wear and rubbing particularly to earlier issues; covers remain vibrant with pages clean and intact; overall very good condition.
