2014rif. 15143Berkeley: Counterpoint 2014. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in dust jacket. Don Carpenter was one of the finest novelists in the West. His first novel A Hard Rain Falling published in 1966 has been championed by Richard Price and George Pelecanos called it “a masterpiece . . . the definitive juvenile-delinquency novel and a damning indictment of our criminal justice system.” His novel A Couple of Comedians is thought by some the best novel about Hollywood ever written. Fridays at Enrico’s is the story of four writers living in Northern California and Portland during the early heady days of the Beat scene a time of youth and opportunity. This story mixes the excitement of beginning with the melancholy of ambition often thwarted and never satisfied. Loss of innocence is only the first price you pay. These are people men and women tender with expectation at risk and in love. Carpenter also carefully draws a portrait of these two remarkable places San Francisco and Portland in the ’50s and early ’60s when writers and bohemians were busy creating the groundwork for what came to be the counterculture. 326 pages 1950s 1960s.

1901rif. 20022Boston: Bay State Card and Paper Company 1901. NA. Very Good. Unusual promotion for a card and paper company. One flips a flap on a rear case being transported on the back of a delivery tricycle and revealed are many infant heads! Based on the captioning below which reads: "This is a sample of our Families Supplied Novelty at $10.00 per thousand List" this is a promotion for the sort of clever work this stationary printer could do for customers as opposed to selling the particular card. Indeed we don't quite get who would order this card which would seem to turn on punning the word "Delivery" in a manner that seems strained to us although a recipient of the card would probably be mildly charmed by the gimmick and after all the company is promoting its facility with novelty cards. There is charm also in the chromolithographic image even without the flap with its young delivery cyclist from a bygone era a sort of delivery that only recently has staged a major comeback. The card is one folded sheet of card stock. Closed it is oblong measuring 7 by 11 cm and open it is 14 by 11 cm. Moderate wear with a few short surface cracks that run like short veins not tears that cut all the way through and light soiling here and there. Bay State Card and Paper Company unknown
