1950Best.-Nr. 191071950. Ellson Hal. Tomboy. New York: Bantam Books 1950. Cover art by Robert Maguire of a young woman smoking a cigarette watching as a couple embraces in a dark alleyway. A dark city skyline looms overhead. Tagline reads: "A shocking novel of teen-age gang life in the slums of Manhattan." 198 pages 4" x 6.5." Harold "Hal" Ellson's work focused primarily on juvenile delinquency. Ellson was a social worker recreational therapist and nurse's aide at Bellevue Hospital where he encountered the adolescent psychiatric patients on whom he based much of his fiction. Binding is fragile but holding. There is a loss of illustration the size of 2 quarters above the title likely from pulling off a sticker label and does not affect the main image of the cover since it is at the top. Otherwise good to fair condition. unknown books

1929Best.-Nr. 35124New York: D. Appleton & Co 1929. Second American printing first published in London 1925; the first American printing also appeared that year. Octavo; blue cloth boards lettered in gilt on spine and front cover; dustjacket; xviii 1-619 2pp; 15 inserted leaves of photographic plates halftones; text illus. A tight Near Fine copy in the scarce dustwrapper lightly soiled overall with a few nicks to extremities Very Good to Near Fine. Very nice copy of this classic of juvenile criminal psychology. Burt achieved great eminence during his lifetime in 1946 becoming the first British psychologist to be knighted as a reward for his research. Burt's methodologies came into question after his death however and it is now widely believed he falsified much of his data particularly that relating to the inheritance of IQ. Nonetheless the current work remains compelling for both its wealth of detailed personal case studies of British delinquents and the numerous photographic portraits which though clearly staged portray genuine subjects and are classics in their genre.

1946Best.-Nr. 83975Fort Worth: Leo Potishman Foundation 1946. First Edition. Presentation lengthily inscribed: "To Edward Hopper / Assistant Superintendent of a work that is more than mere prevention of disaster in young peoples' lives - it is a program of building creative personalities - with the best wishes always" signed undated but apparently contemporary with publication. First printing. Octavo. Blue cloth hardcover titled in gilt; dustjacket; 136pp; included bibliography. Tight square copy in the original pictorial dustwrapper unclipped priced $1.50 on front flap slightly rubbed soiled and worn with small losses at margins; Good or better. Porterfield a pioneering sociologist at Texas Christian University seeks to demonstrate that juvenile criminal behavior is nearly always related to parental neglect or abuse and asserts that it is the responsibility of the community to provide a surrogate: ".the community is responsible for all youth whose parents fail them and for the training and improvement of oppoortunities of parents so that they can escape failure." from jacket copy. Includes three detailed case studies and a wealth of statistical data. This copy inscribed to an "Edward Hopper" presumably not the noted painter of this period at least we can find no evidence of Hopper's involvement in a program to rehabilitate troubled youth.

1938Best.-Nr. 16826Los Angeles: Warner Brothers 1938. Lithograph in two colors 21" x 16-1/2" ca 54cm x 42cm. Vertical and horizontal fold lines; mild toning to paper on verso; Near Fine - Grade A/A-. Rare odd-size promotional broadside for the 1938 Warner Brothers exploitation drama "Crime School" starring Humphrey Bogart and the Dead End Kids. In addition to stills and renderings from the film the piece includes a full plot synopsis - something not included on any of the dozens of other promotional items for the film we have inspected. Apparently produced for the New York premier in 1938 at the Astor Theatre and likely produced not by the studio but the the theatre itself as part of its promotional campaign. Conceivably intended for distribution to the press but we posit that the piece was more likely created for mailing to schools and civic organizations who would no doubt be attracted to the film's "scared straight" approach to juvenile delinquency. Not seen at auction or in commerce. Warner Brothers unknown
