Faintest traces of rubbing a near fine set. First edition. Illustrated. 584; 647 1 pp. 2 vols. 8vo. The president and Civil War general's remarkable memoir written in the final years of his life as he was suffering from terminal throat cancer. Suffering both physically and financially as the result of financial misfortune Grant began writing his autobiography in the fall of 1884 and finished in July of 1885 five days before his death. Samuel Clemens Mark Twain encouraged Grant and shepherded the book to publication through the Webster connection. Eagerly anticipated by a public that had been following Grant's illness in the press the book was an immediate success upon its release and has long been considered one of if not the best memoirs written by an American president. Since its publication it has received acclaim from literary figures including Twain and Gertrude Stein and from numerous modern American historians and political commentators from Eric Foner to Ta-Nehisi Coates.

réf. 8080Single A4 sheet printed on both sides illus. on recto. Amsterdam: 1982. Rare flyer for the lone film made by Ulises Carrión 1941-89. In the years after the closing of Other Books and So the artist focused much of his efforts on video works eventually founding Time Based Arts a gallery dedicated to supporting video artists. On the verso Carrión describes the film which was “originally produced for the International Media Meeting organized by the Agora Foundation in Maastricht from 19 to 25 April 1982.” “Ever since his participation in the activities of the In-Out Center Carrión along with other Amsterdam artists shared an increasing interest in the possibility of film and video to document their numerous ephemeral activities and to work with the question of time…Carrión found in the language of film a support for his questioning of narrative widening the possibilities beyond what was previously limited to literature…In his only film the record of a performance The Death of the Art Dealer 1982 Carrión transfers into performance and film the type of processes he had applied to the literary text. Holding a small television set showing a 1940s film by Max Ophuls Carrión moves to the right or left to the rhythm of the movements of the characters in the film. The soundtrack is that of the original film but the narrative itself is ignored. Instead what one observes is a fairly unnoticed and typically forgettable structural aspect. In a way Carrión’s movements are like the parentheses and punctuation marks that he had previously used to strikethrough text in his pieces on certain literary works.”–Joao Fernandes “Art as Subversion: Make and Remake to Make Anew” in Dear reader. Don’t read. p. 45. Pristine copy. ⧠Guy Schraenen ed. Dear reader. Don’t read. 2016 pp. 128 130-31 pictured. unknown
