1991Best.-Nr. 66957Claremont CA: Scripps College Press 1991. First Edition. An edition of 85 copies was printed on nine colors of acid-free Passport text and was bound in a spine-laced paper wrapper. Sewn printed wraps; square 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 in.; unpaginated. Six poems each accompanied by a biography of the author and an addendum printed on paper in various colors. Signed by the 21 people involved in the making of the book including the poets: Richard Barnes John Hollander Richard Howard Donald Justice Robert Mezey and Rosanna Warren the poets' signatures on a sheet at the rear. A Fine copy erratum slip bound in. Six poets were invited by the Scripps College Humanities Institute to give poetry readings over the period of a year. Students in a Typography class directed by Kitty Maryatt at Scripps College asked each of the poets to allow them to print an ekphrastic poem; that is a poem inspired by a work of art. Students worked in teams to produce a book of these poems with either the original image that inspired the poem or new imagery. Both the Fall 1990 and the Spring 1991 typography students produced this book. Well-represented as are all the press's projects in institutions through subscription; quite scarce in the marketplace. Although the press's works under longtime director Maryatt are always elaborate and usually signed by those involved in the production they are usually done over one semester. This particular undertaking involved two semesters of students and is signed by well-known poets which is unusual. Scripps College Press unknown

1964Best.-Nr. 45882Boston: Houghton Mifflin. Fine. First Edition; First Printing. Full leather. Autograph; 8vo; 4 p.l. 273 pages; This is a specially bound copy of the first edition. Full brown crushed levant morocco five raised bands on the spine title and author stamped in gilt directly in the second and fourth panels -- swirl marbled endpapers top edges gilt. This special volume has an inscription from the author to Abe Fortas soon to be appointed by President Johnson the the United States Supreme Court as an Associate Justice. The inscription is written in ink on the rear free-endpaper upside down -- front the usual point of view. Clearly the volume was flipped over from the normal position and the inscription written after mistakenly opening the rear cover instead of the front. The inscription reads: To carol and abe fortas / -- in deep friendship and regard / signed William S. White". "Carol" was Mrs. Abe Fortas -- the significant and accomplished lawyer Carolyn E. Agger. The handwriting in this unusually-placed inscription gets progressively shakier -- the final word "regard" is nearly illegible. It may have been executed during a social engagement. The author and Abe Fortas had each known Lyndon Johnson well since the 'thirties. William S. White was born in Texas in 1905 attented the Univeristy of Texas in Austin -- and as a working journalist specialising in Washington and the Congress knew the younger Lyndon Johnson since the latter a young Congressional staffer was first elected in as a Congressman from the Tenth district of Texas in 1937 in a special election to fill a seat. Abe Fortas also a contemporary to both journalist White and Lyndon Johnson knew Johnson well as a friend by the time that Fortas represented Johnson before the Supreme Court after Johnson's nomination and election to the U. S. Senate was a matter of dispute in 1948. Lyndon Johnson's rise to power from this initial point in his new Senate career was well understood and covered by William S. White -- writing at that point as a lead Washington journalist for the New York Times. Johnson was selected by his fellow Democrats to be Senate Minority Leader in January of 1953; he became the most junior senator ever elected to this position. White soon wrote a well-regarded study of Johnson's opposite number in the Senate the Republican Majority Leader Robert Taft; White's book 'The Taft Story' was published in 1954 and received the Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography May 1955. White's next book brought him even further into Johnson's extraordinary career in the Senate. White published Citadel: The Story of the United States Senate to considerable accaim in 1957. Lyndon Johnson was probably the author's principal living source for this volume -- Johnson in turn saw to it that all newly-elected Senators received a copy of the 'Citidel' -- in hopes that knowledge of the history and ways of the great legislative body might prove useful. If one reads this book in the manner that Washingtonians are said to look at a book -- turning immediately to the index one sees only two references to "Abe Fortas." In the Washington world in which turning to the index is a well-known sport -- this means one of two things. Either the party "indexed" is paripheral or was really a more significant source to the author than either might care to acknowledge. This is clearly a case of the latter. Both references to Fortas in the index are substantial; White uses Lyndon Johnson's first night back in his private house in Washinton after having to take the Presidential Oath of Office on the airplane returning to the Capitol city following the disasterous Presidential trip to Dallas -- as a means of organizing the structure of his first section of the book. Johnson spent much of that evening working the phone in conversations with his fellow Cabinet officers from the suddenly-terminated Kennedy administration. Only a couple of Johnson friends were there with him at "The Elms"-- Fortas was one of this small group. His friendship with the new President never stumbled through many twists and turns right through Johnson's death in 1973. Johnson named Abe Fortas to the Supreme Court; through various circumstances the President's subsequent appointment of Fortas to be Chief Justice. was withdrawn -- but the two men remained great friends and Johnson remained a legal client right to the end. In the final days of Johnson's single term in office he awarded White the Presidential Medal of Freedom -- January 1969. Inscribed books are part of the long-standing Washington system of influence. Many are clearly generated with only minimal contact with either the donor or the book's recipient -- other than a quick thumbing of the index-- as discussed above. This volume is an exception in all respects. For one thing this elegantly-bound book looks better than all but a very few specimens of "the Washington inscribed book" and clearly meant a great deal to the author the subject and the recipient. Fortas kept the book for the two decades remaining of his life. We bought it as his estate sale on R Street about thirty years ago. an unsigned binding but of higher quality in terms of material and workmanship to the usual "gift" bindings presented by publishers to their authors; Signed by Author . 1964.

1903Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript autograph document signed by Mehmed Said Pasha sent to Trabzon Vilayat, Ordu Kaza, Hasbamane Nahiya local manager, faziletlu 'Mehmed Ali Sevki Beyefendi'. 33,5x20 cm. Folded. 1 p. In Ottoman script. Mehmed Said Pasha was an Ottoman monarchist, senator, statesman and editor of the Turkish newspaper Jerid-i-Havadis. He supported the CUP, the political party which came to power after the Ottoman coup d'état of 1913. His origin comes from 'Sebazâde family' from Ankara. He became first secretary to Sultan Abdul Hamid II shortly after the Sultan's accession, and is said to have contributed to the realizations of his majesty's design of concentrating power in his own hands; later he became successively minister of the interior and then governor of Bursa, reaching the high post of grand vizier in 1879. He was grand vizier seven more times under Abdul Hamid II, and once under his successor, Mehmed V. He was known for his opposition to the extension of foreign influence in Turkey. n 1896, he took refuge at the British embassy in Constantinople, and, though then assured of his personal liberty and safety, remained practically a prisoner in his own house. He came into temporary prominence again during the revolution of 1908. On 22 July he succeeded Mehmed Ferid Pasha as grand vizier, but on the 6 August was replaced by the more liberal Kâmil Pasha, at the insistence of the Young Turks. Also during 1908, Mehmed Said Pasha bought the famed Istanbul arcade in the Beyoglu (Pera) district, today known as Çiçek Pasaji ("Flower Passage"). The modern name became common in the 1940s; during Mehmed Said Pasha's ownership in the 1900s and 1910s, the arcade was known as Sait Pasa Pasaji ("Said Pasha Passage"). During the Italian crisis in 1911-12, he was again called to the premiership. He was again removed from power by the Savior Officers (who backed the Freedom and Accord Party (Liberal Union) against the Committee of Union and Progress) and replaced by a new cabinet supported by the Officers and the Freedom and Accord Party. The CUP would return to power, however, the next year after the Ottoman coup d'état of 1913. (Source: Wikipedia). Seven lines on special paper with watermark 'Joynson Superfine'.
