1991Best.-Nr. 237521991. Three works of transvestite and gender transformation fiction by Jan O'Sullivan Susan Peerless and Michelle Lange published 1991 to 1992 for a readership developing literary and social networks outside mainstream publishing. Issued by Empathy Press and Reluctant Press the novels center on forced feminization domestic service supernatural transformation and cross-gender identification using contemporary publisher terminology including "Transvestite Fiction Fantasy" and "TV" fiction. Michelle Lange also appeared in "The TV TS Tapestry Journal" published by the International Foundation for Gender Education where she described her interest in domestic service sought correspondence with others and stated that she collected and wrote stories drawn from experiences and fantasies. Reluctant Press advertised in "Tapestry" as well placing both within the underground national print network through which crossdressers and trans people exchanged writing correspondence and commercial resources in the early 1990s. Three staple-bound illustrated fiction booklets each approximately 5½ x 8½ inches published 1991 to 1992: 1 O'Sullivan Jan. "School for Shemales." Seattle: Empathy Press 1991. 50 pp. "A Transvestite Fiction Fantasy." 2 Peerless Susan. "Spirit of a Lady." Alexandria Virginia: Reluctant Press 1992. 84 pp. Illustrated by Brian Dukehart. First printing. Peerless was a recurring Reluctant Press author with other fiction issued by the press including "Two Pink Ladies" "An Antebellum Way of Life" "Unchained Bride" and "Georgio & Zoe." 3 Lange Michelle. "Mademoiselle's Replacement." Alexandria Virginia: Reluctant Press 1992. 64 pp. Illustrated by Brian Dukehart. First printing October 1992. The publisher's introductory text identifies Lange as the author of the earlier "Forced to be A Maiden Person" and describes the story as "a delightful version of a young man being transformed into the perfect French maid." Under the same name in "TV TS Tapestry" Lange described enjoying domestic service from the servant's point of view and writing stories based on "experiences and fantasies." The three booklets belong to the early-1990s cross-dressing and trans print culture represented by "TV TS Tapestry" which carried erotic fiction personal ads medical and legal writing and advertising from publishers including Reluctant Press. Lange's contribution provides a direct link between commercial transformation fiction and that wider community print network: her interest in domestic service appears both in her published fiction and in her own "Tapestry" statement. The books retain the period's terminology including "Transvestite" "TV" and "transsexual" while their publishers and authors operated within a market where erotic transformation fiction circulated alongside personal correspondence community information organizations and other services. Light rubbing and toning to wrappers with minor handling wear and retail labels to covers; interiors appear clean and intact. Overall very good condition. A concentrated group of early-1990s gender transformation fiction from the commercial and community print culture serving cross-dressing and trans readers. unknown

1969Best.-Nr. 229941969. LGBTQTransgenderCross-Dressing Anonymous. Miss High-heels. New York: Grove Press Inc. 1969. First U.S. edition. Octavo. Lime green cloth boards in original photo-illustrated dust jacket. First published anonymously in Paris in 1931 Miss High-heels is an infamous work of fetishistic and feminization-themed erotica presented here in its first U.S. printing by Grove Press known for its defiance of censorship and promotion of transgressive literature. The novel tells the story of Dennis Evelyn Beryl a young effeminate English aristocrat who under the coercive influence of his domineering step-sister Helen is gradually transformed into "Denise" the titular Miss High-heels. Framed as a fictional memoir penned at Helen's command the narrative follows Dennis's journey from privileged heir to submissive cross-dresser. He is forced into girls' school stripped of masculine identifiers and eventually returned to the family estate clothed in "diamond-buckled satin slippers" and "the finest silks and satins" fully assuming the role of a "fetichiste-du-pied." Themes of humiliation and gender inversion mark the main character's transition as a fetish story but the book also allows for them to feel comfortable in their new identity: "Eventually Dennis is brought to realize how much more pleasurable is his life as a young girl and he willingly abandons his name fortune and life to the whims of Helen." Notable both for its elaborate prose and for its early depiction of forced feminization fantasy Miss High-heels occupies a space between pornography and proto-trans literature which would later flourish in small press chapbook format in the 80s and 90s. While drenched in the misogynistic and sadomasochistic tropes of its genre the text is nevertheless of interest among scholars of queer publishing history. Binding tight and square; boards clean; jacket bright with light shelfwear and a single 1/2 in closed tear at the top margin of front panel. Overall near fine in very good dust jacket. A historically resonant text in trans and fetish literature. unknown

1963Best.-Nr. 222801963. Cauldwell David O. Transvestism.Men in Female Dress. New York: Sexology Corp. 1963. Third edition. 128 pages. Paperback with bright red wrappers and illustration of a man's silhouette with a feminine shadow. 8vo. Contains 41 black and white photographs and illustrations most of self-identified "transvestites" or "female impersonators". This early study of transvestism edited by Dr. David Oliver Cauldwell who first coined the term "transsexual" examines the practice of cross-dressing in relation to homosexuality and childhood development. The books compiles a variety of essays in two parts; those by writers and medical professionals speculating on the nature and origin of transvestism and those by self-identified "transvestites" speaking on their own experiences. The former includes writings by noted sexologist Harry Benjamin and psychiatrist and science fiction writer David H. Keller. The book is notable for its focus on the lived experiences of trans-identifying individuals taking the study out of the realm of pure scientific speculation and into a humanistic approach which engages with people who practice transvestism some of whom identify strongly as men and others who prefer to identify as women. Though the book uses terms and scientific theories which may be considered outdated or offensive today it is overall remarkably progressive for the time and sets out in good faith to understand what was in the 1950s an extremely taboo subject. Dustjacket worn at edges chipped at top and bottom of spine and has two small tears to lower front cover. Light wear and discoloration to spine and soiling on back wrapper. Inner pages clear and binding tight. Very good condition overall. An early study on transvestism including essays from queer and trans individuals. unknown

Editors James D. and Edward S. Dana" Third series Vol. XXXIV July to December 1887. VIII500 pp. textillustr. and 10 plates. Entire volume offered. The joint paper: pp. 333-345 and textillustr. Apparatus. A few faint brownspots to titlepage otherwise clean and fine. First appearance of this classic paper which announced one of the most celebrated experiments in the history of physics and eventually led Einstein to his Relativity Theory.The experiment was expected to show the rate of the earth's movement through the ether; they looked in vain for a difference between the speed of light in the direction of the earth's motion around the sun and the direction perpendicular to it. The failure of this experiment was a serious blow to classical scientific theories because it cast doubts on the existance of the universal ether which had been a basic principleof for example the Newtonian theories of the universe. Vide PMM: 378 401 408.The paper appeared first in the "American Journal of Science" in November as offered here and was published a month later in "Philosophical Magazine" in a slightly modified form."Michelson trained at the U.S. Naval Academy and Morley minister turned chemist began a series of experiments to determine the relation of ether drift and the velocity of light effects of extremely minute values. They used a slightly silvered glass set angular to a ray of sunlight so that a part ofthe ray was transmitted a part reflected out and again returned thereby providing two paths one perpendicular to the other. If drift existed the superimposed rays would produce interference. None was observed showing that the earth's motion did not affect the light's speed. The negative result held revolutionary implications which led directly thru Lorentz and Einstein to the acceptance of new standards of reference of time and space from geometry and cosmometry."DibnerIn 1919 Einstein met Michelson in California. At a dinner given in honor of them both Einstein said in a speech "You Michelson uncovered an insidious defect in the ether theory of light as it existed and stimulated the ideas of H.A. Lorentz and Fitzgerald out of which the Special Theory of Relativity developed. Without your work this theory would today be scarcely more than an interesting speculation." In an interview in 1842 Einstein said: "It is no doubt that Michelson's experiment was of considerably influence upon my work insofar as it strengthened my conviction concerning the validity of the Principle of relativity.On the other side I was pretty much convinced of the validity of the principle before I did know this experiment and its result. In any case Michelson's experiment removed practically any doubt about the validity of the principle in optics and showed that a profound change of the basic concepts of physics was inevitable."Michelson was awarded the 1907 Nobel Prize "for his optical precision instrument the inteferometer and the spectroscopic and metrological investigations he has carried on."Dibner: Heralds of Science: 161 lising the later version from "Philosophical Magazine" - Norman 1505.- Magee "A Source Book in Physics" pp. 369 ff. the later paper.The volume contains another paper by Michelson and Morley "On a method of Making the Wave-lenght of Sodium Light the actual and practical Standard of Lenght" pp. 427-430. unknown
