1925réf. 1912074Seattle: John Muir School & Press of The Co-operative Printing Company 1925. First Edition. Soft cover. Good. 1st printing. Printed greenish-gray small 8vo wraps. 71pp. This is a rare little book published by John Muir School in Seattle to honor by way of a pageant the great naturalist. Contents "Leaves of the John Muir Book" consist of following the Acknowledgments: Introduction by Principal Jessie Lockwood. A second introductory page typeset & printed on a sheet slightly smaller than the book's dimensions and tipped in is titled "The Writing of the John Muir Pageant". It is dated March 1928 Foreword Original prose and verse by the pupils inspired by the study and production of the Pageant Quotations from the writings of John Muir and Appreciations of John Muir by different authors. The pageant section lists part episodes music characters. In pencil on the ffep is a four-line inscription "Compliments of / Miss Jessie Lockwood / Prin. John Muir / School. Mar. 1929." We do not know if the handwriting is Ms. Lookwood's. HistoryLinkdotorg says this of the school in part: "A new school opened in 1910. It was named York School after the neighborhood. Residents of the neighborhood petitioned the Seattle School Board in September 1915 to rename the school John L. Wilson. The board chose to delay making any change. In 1921 Principal Jessie Lockwood was asked to select a new name for the school. She chose to honor Scottish-born naturalist John Muir who founded the Sierra Club in 1892 and was instrumental in establishing Yellowstone National Park and the National Park Service. Part of her motivation for selecting Muir was the hope that students would develop a love of nature and a desire to conserve natural beauty." On the back cover is a sizable white residue - not really an embedded stain. It occupies a somewhat small part of the page overall yet is a blemish that detracts. A very small perhaps one-half quarter or more size of the same whitish blemish on the upper fore edge of the front cover. Hinges sound. As noted rare. This book belongs in any serious we believe library on John Muir. John Muir School & Press of The Co-operative Printing Company unknown
1988réf. SHEL1309NYC: Jules Fisher & Paul Marantz Inc. et. al 1988. Soft cover. Very Good. In 1991 the Seattle Art Museum SAM built a new museum in downtown Seattle. The item here offered for sale is a bound set of the architectural plans/ drawings/ schema of the lighting for the new building. This items consists of 12 sheets 30 1/2" x 42 1/2". Your bookseller is certainly not an architect nor is he ordinarily a dealer in architectural books or ephemera therefore please forgive his lack of proper description.

Pps 6-12: Floor drawings one sheet each for 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th floors plus basement and mezzanine. It may be safe to assume that very few sets of these drawings exist. This represents desirable hard - to - come - by addition for the collector of SAM material as well as for architects who collect material related to important public buildings. This set is in very good to fine condition with no tears and only a small bit of wear or slight peeling at the fore edges opposite the binding. The binding is almost surely the original soft cloth stapled binding. The sheets are rolled up and will be shipped that way. Jules Fisher & Paul Marantz, Inc., et. al unknown
