The fairy tales include the title story Rapunzel Rumpelstiltskin and nineteen others. Nielsen 1886–1957 was born in Denmark. He is best known for his work in the United States. He worked for the Walt Disney Company on the animated films Fantasia The Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty. xii 13–310 pages. First trade edition first printing with the B date code on the copyright page. A near fine copy; for this version the plates are not protected with tissue guards and there is offsetting to the facing pages as a result. There are a couple of leaves with spots at the bottom margin. This copy has been rebound in full burgundy morocco with all edges gilt. The covers are delicately decorated with a wavy gilt border. The spine is divided into six panels with false bands; each panel is stamped in gilt. The endpapers are marbled paper with metallic gold ink highlights. The original cover and spine are laid down at the back. Doran issued a 600-copy signed limited edition in 1925 with the text printed in two colors contemporaneous with the UK signed limited. That is the first US edition; this trade issue followed the next year based on newspaper reviews and therefore I assume does not have the publisher's logo on the copyright page—which is how Doran usually denotes a first printing. It is not technically the first edition. George H. Doran Company unknown

Two lithographed broadsides 91.0 x 54.5 cm and 88.0 x 54.5 cm. = A fine and rare work by the French medical doctor Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery 1797-1849 and the French painter and lithographer Nicolas Henri Jacob 1782-1871 both better known from their later published Traité complet de l'anatomie de l'homme comprenant l'anatomie chirurgicale et la médecine opératoire. The current work fully titled Anatomie élémentaire en 20 planches avec un texte explicatif à part formant un manuel complet d'anatomie physiologique consists of a series of twenty very large anatomical plates and an additional small explanatory textbook here not included. From this suite these are two matching plates namely Planche 3 Myologie et Aponévrologie - Plan anterieur or muscles and nerves frontal and Planche 5 Myologie Aponévrologie or muscles and blood vessels seen dorsally. These two plates obviously form a pair as the view is identical and the subjects are closely related. A few skilful repairs. Since these plates were meant to be used in medical schools and hospitals they are usually found well-used with spotting creasing chipping annotations stamps etc. but this set is unusually clean and bright. Very rare in this fine condition.

First editions a complete run of the short lived literary and arts magazine which was distributed by Lawrence Ferlinghetti's City Lights Bookshop and featured many of the greatest Beat Generation writers such as William S. Burroughs Allen Ginsberg Herbert Huncke and Claude Pelieu.At the time of publication Jacob Herman was Lawrence Ferlinghetti's assistant and worked alongside him at what was the epicenter of literary counterculture in San Francisco the City Lights Bookshop. The San Francisco Earthquake published many of the writers which had a connection with the store. William Burroughs contributed to all five issues. In the first his piece 'Word Authority More Habit Forming than Heroin' explores his belief that language operates as a form of social control. What follows his introduction is an experimental piece of prose interspersed with grammatical symbols which criticises police brutality and nuclear weapons.Published towards the end of the 1960s this counterculture production bridges the gap between the different movements of the Beats Post-Beats and Fluxus writers. The magazine also served as a literary and artistic meeting point; collages by Carl Weissner are reproduced in the broadsheets and Roy Lichtenstein a leading figure in the pop-art movement designed the covers for issues No. 3 and No. 4. unknown
