1987rif. 45499New York: n.p. 1987. Very good. Original book sculpture that is cleverly literal featuring a figure made of found materials with a matchstick "penis" attached to a spring. Bruno Pasquier-Desvignes defies classification. THE NEW YORK TIMES calls him "part tinkerer and part storyteller a cross between Alexander Calder and Jean Tinguely;" filmmaker James Ivory compares him to Picasso noting his ability to "pick up any old thing lying around see its possibilities for transformation and then turn it into a new and enchanting thing" RURAL INTELLIGENCE. Pasquier-Desvignes's book sculptures highlight his ingenuity creativity and humor as he toys with the idea of a codex as a container. A 1967 copy of THE EXHIBITIONIST by Henry Sutton provides the setting for a figure made of found materials including a bouncing "penis" made out of a matchstick mounted on a spring. Pasquier-Desvignes managed to make the rather simplistic EXHIBITIONIST amusingly expressive - it looks quite thrilled that you have opened the book to have a look at it. A delightful production. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original cloth-backed boards. Bookblock fused with glue with rectangular recess cut into center. Figure made of found materials including cork spray paint nozzle pipe cleaners and an unlit match mounted inside recess; mirror to back of recess. Binding with light soil. Leaves and bookblock with mild scattered foxing. Small crack to upper right corner of mirror. Solid. n.p. unknown books

Light fading to spine light toning to interior light foxing and soiling in a few places. $450. Fourth Stated Edition. Written for a popular lay audience by barrister Robert Sutton this work served as an essential accessible handbook during a period of rapid urbanization in Georgian Britain. As the preface dramatically asserts "three fourths of the Inhabitants of Great Britain are composed of Landlords Tenants and Lodgers." By the turn of the nineteenth century lodging had become ubiquitous across British society-present in an estimated one-eighth of all households-creating widespread legal anxiety over leases unpaid rent distraint of goods and property damage. Sutton's manual offered a balanced practical toolkit for both parties: advising landlords on legal eviction and distraint procedures while warning tenants against "encroaching landlords" and predatory rent practices. It includes a generous appendix of workable legal instruments including standard forms for leases notices to quit assignment of tenancies and rental receipts. First published around 1796 the work's immense utility proved enduring going through at least eleven editions by 1821. Despite its commercial success survival rates for physical copies o. unknown books

Attractive recent quarterbinding with marbled boards. Condition of the contents is about Good with some wear. a few brown spots and several partial erasures of some pencil markings. No Jacket. Rev. Griggs was the author of a number of books and is best known for the five novels he wrote and self-published between 1899 and 1908. This is a non-fiction item about racial issues which was apparently first published in 1909 in 2 versions of 116 and 134 pages a third version in 1910 of 145 pages and 2 further versions in 1911 of 193 and 259 pages. This makes our copy the 4th version or edition. We owe this information to John Gruesser a professor of English at Kean University who inquired about the contents of another copy and was kind enough not to mention our previous misidentification of the edition. One chapter or section that caught our eye is titled "Southern Statesmanship and the Negro Woman" pages 127-142 which talks about the defenseless position of African American women under white supremacy the claimed desire of whites to maintain racial purity and the impossibility of doing that unless African American women are protected from predatory white men. The 5th version apparently adds a final section -- with a separate title-page "Beyond the End" and a Table of Contents -- but we are told that no material in the first 193 pages appears to have been revised in that final edition.
