2001Best.-Nr. vita5961New York: W. W. Norton & Company 2001. First Edition. Octavo blue boards hardcover gilt letters xiv 371 pp. Fine As New in a Fine As New dust jacket. From dust jacket: A convincing reassertion of consciousness as an evolutionary triumph and the center of human genius. For centuries philosophers scientists and lay people alike have assumed consciousness to be the most distinctive feature of human nature. Despite the power of that assumption the workings of consciousness continue to elude our understanding. In recent years a number of influential scientists and philosophers have challenged the primacy of consciousness dismissing it as a superficial by-product of evolution or even an entirely irrelevant factor in human cognition. A Mind So Rare is a masterful critique of this prevailing view that seeks to explain away consciousness. Drawing on his groundbreaking theory of the origins of the modern mind Merlin Donald’s persuasive thesis presents the forces both cultural and neuronal that power our distinctively human modes of awareness. In this polemical new work Donald proposes that the human mind is a hybrid product of interweaving a supercomplex form of matter the brain with an invisible symbolic web culture to form a “distributed” cognitive network. This hybrid mind Donald suggests is our main evolutionary advantage for it allowed humanity as a species to break free of the limitations of the mammalian brain. W. W. Norton & Company, (2001).

1952Best.-Nr. 418186New Jersey 1952. Unbound. Near Fine. A collection of 94 letters and 1 photograph to Mary Stack between 1947 through 1952 from various men serving during the Korean War. Letters are very good or better many with their original envelopes which have tears from opening. A collection of letters most written to Mary Stack from soldiers during the years leading up to the Korean War and during. Many of the men are interested in Mary romantically and express their feelings for her throughout their writings. One of these men Merlin Neal appears to have been her actual beau but was not the only man she was sending intimate messages to. Letters from 1948 and 1949 also include letters from Henry A. Berens whose bunkmate overseas was a friend of Mary's. He writes in his first letter "I guess by this time you are wondering who is writing you this letter I got your address off of one of Eddie's letters. He doesn't know I'm writing so I hope you don't mind." Over 11 letters Henry befriends and "falls in love" with Mary although it seems they never met. Henry was stationed in Ongjion Korea and discusses his time there in his letters to Mary. In a letter from May 1948 he writes "Well I'm here with the Russians again. Yesterday we had a little trouble. One of our men got shot 4 times. He sure was an awful mess. He had 1 hole in his back and 3 in his leg. They claim he will have to lose his leg because the bullet almost tore it off." In June of that year he wrote from a hospital in Seoul after a bridge collapsed he was driving over. The letters all include romantic sentiments even though Mary was involved with another soldier Merlin Neal whom she eventually married. One letter from Henry reads "in your letter you asked me what I would do when I saw you. Well first I would grab you and kiss you I guess. You would probably slap me afterwards but I wouldn't mind at all. It would be worth a slap to kiss you. After that we would go some place and talk. Then the rest is up to you." The last letter written by Henry is dated March 1949 roughly a year after the first letter and asks why she hasn't written in a while. "Darling I prayed for us in church today. I sure hope my prayers are answered. I'll be home in a few month and I want to meet you so bad." By 1949 Mary is almost exclusively writing to Merlin L. Neal making up the majority of the archive including a few from Mary to Merlin. The early letters are flirty and friendly while Merlin often referred to as "Mer" was training with the Signal Corps at Fort Monmouth New Jersey and was part of the 64th AAA Gun Battalion. The letters discuss Mer's schooling missing Mary and encouraging her to enroll in a nursing program which she eventually does. By the end of 1949 he was sent to Seattle awaiting overseas orders which he writes "Monday the next ship for Japan leaves and I think we will be on the next ship." By January of 1950 Merlin had been promoted to sergeant writing "I went to my 1st Sgt. meeting and boy everybody there was calling me Sgt." Many of his overseas letters discuss the daily routine of the army his missing her and attempts to figure out how to be discharged. He often discusses marriage and calls Mary his "future wife." Merlin also tells her about the people he meets and things he buys while in Japan. "Honey those Gods I sent you I just happened to buy them. Those seven gods the Japanese worship buy honey these people are all crazy. Those houses are what the Japanese live in." Most of the letters involved Merlin reassuring Mary he's not being unfaithful. In one he writes "I was out walking around with two of my buddys and Mary they picked up two girls an wanted me to find a girl and go with them I told them no Mary I told you in my other letters I've been a good boy here and Mary I'm saying it again." He continues "I don't know whats the matter with some of these guys here some of them are married and I don't know boy I don't understand them." Throughout 1950 while serving in Japan Merlin writes to Mary frequently often daydreaming about their life after he returns from service. He tells her they'll get married have children go dancing and he repeatedly tells her he wishes he was holding and kissing her. Being separated from her makes him want to "cry and cry" because he's never missed someone so much. "Darn this Army boy they gave me my job but they really put me far away from you." When he isn't working or missing Mary he goes to the G.I. shows and movies that the camp puts on and occasionally visits Japanese cities when on furlough. In June of 1950 he writes "Honey I've been in the Army 26 mos today 10 more mos is my discharge date but if I don't get a discharge before then I'll leave Japan in March. I wish I would have only joined the Army for two years like I was going to instead of 3 years." 1951 saw some trouble in the relationship with Merlin writing less and Mary being worried and hurt by the lack of communication. A long typed letter from Merlin repeatedly tells her he's hurt by her accusations of him not loving her. One letter reads "Mary I'm beginning to understand why you don't write me and how easy love has been thrown away!" He continues discussing a possible deployment to Korea "so many soldiers are dieing sic over there Mary. I hope and pray I can go and help the other G.I.s I'm no hero Mary but I want to go. I guess Mary when guys get lonely like me they probably feel different than me." Mer continues to write her even though it appears she stopped or was slow to respond. In these letters he sends her photos of a Japanese fishing boat and its crew tells her he's on the list of Korea and begs her to write him. The final letter is from March of 1952 and is typed by Merlin after receiving an angry letter from Mary. It appears to have been a break up "Dear John" letter and he is devastated by the news. He writes "tonight Mary I'm going to go and drink all the whiskey I can hold that's the kind of mood I'm in." Despite the tragic turn of events in their relationship the two were eventually married and according to their obituaries stayed together until Merlin's death. An interesting collection of love letters detailing the interpersonal relationships that developed during war time. unknown books

2019Best.-Nr. 17707United Kingdom: Fulgur Press 2019. Second Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Second Edition. Hardcover. 12.5" x 9.5". 158pp. Hardcover paper over boards with cloth spine lettered in red gilt. Very mild shelf wear else like new. From the publisher: A full-color facsimile of an 18th-century black-magic compendium. Touch Me Not is an Austrian manuscript compendium of the black magical arts completed c. 1795. Unique and otherworldly it evokes a realm of visceral dark magic. As the co-editor of this volume Hereward Tilton notes the manuscript "appears at first sight to be a 'grimoire' or magician's manual intended for noviciates of black magic. Psychedelic drug use animal sacrifice sigillary body art masturbation fantasy and the necromantic manipulation of gallows-corpses count among the transgressive procedures it depicts. With their aid hidden treasures are wrested from guardian spirits and the black magician's highest ambition-an infernal transfiguration and union with the Devil-can be fulfilled." Hidden for decades within the Wellcome Library collection Touch Me Not is published here as a full-color facsimile. The German and Latin texts have been translated by Hereward Tilton and Merlin Cox scholars who have explored the sources for the various elements and provided copious references. Tilton provides an introduction that lays out the context for the survival of this extraordinary manuscript. Fulgur Press hardcover books

1958Best.-Nr. 144106Paris: Salons de l'Orangerie 1958. Original French invitation for the 1958 premiere of a cosmetics aid known as "le Makeur" a hand-held soft-bristled makeup brush. Addressed to M. and Mme. de la Maziere and dated Tuesday October 9 1958 in manuscript ink. Housed in the original mailing envelope addressed in manuscript ink to "Monsieur et Madame de la Maziere - Cinedis / 44 avenue de Champs-Elysees / Paris / VIIIe" with two red stamps showing the Rouen Cathedral. Christian de la Maziere 1922-2006 was a journalist and member of the Charlemagne Division of the Waffen SS and was featured in Marcel Ophuls' 1969 documentary "The Sorrow and the Pity" discussing his role in WWII. He also worked for the fascist newspaper "Le Pays Libre" earlier and in 1974 he wrote "The Captive Dreamer." His involvement at Vichy and the Waffen SS was pardoned before his career in press and film relations and he garnered brief postwar celebrity. Christian Robier b. 1936 was a designer and cosmetologist notably for L'Oreal and supplies the watercolor illustration here. The brush was not in production long nor the "Makeur" imprint but is an early example of cosmetics aids that utilize different attachments similar to electric trimmer kits today. The Salons de l'Orangiere is just as mysterious but seems to have operated as a rental hall as of 2015. 9.75 x 13 inches folded once vertically textured stock similar to watercolor paper.
