1799ref. 14752Richmond Virginia: James Lyon 1799. Original wraps. Good . The June 1st 1799 maiden issue of "National Magazine" which represents the first magazine ever published in Virginia the first magazine printing of the Virginia Constitution and Kentucky Resolutions and "an extraordinary contemporary resource for the anti-Federalist Jeffersonian Strict Constructionist philosophy of the Virginia School a philosophy that Virginians developed to oppose the policies of Alexander Hamilton and the Washington-Adams administrations " from "The Remnant Trust". This the "first National Magazine" was issued in Richmond by its young publisher and editor James Lyon and was printed semi-quarterly. Six issues all told were published in Richmond "after which Lyon removed to the new seat of the Federal government". This orginal issue has been beautifully and skillfully re-bound in 1998 by the Thistle Bindery of Florence MA and has had both its original light-brown wrappers seemlessly bound-in. The wrappers show chipping along the edges and a degree of inevitable wear but miraculously almost no loss to the titling. Crisp new endsheets and thick card wrappers nicely protect the fragile original text which has held up surprisingly well. There's a bit of light forgivable offsetting to the body --and along the original endsheets-- and the Subscription page which shows that one "Prin Perkins" is to receive a six month subscription for the price of two dollars INCLUDES JAMES LYON'S STRONG SIGNATURE IN INK AS AFFIRMATION. Octavo 107 original pgs. plus an itemized laid-in letter from Thistle Bindery and a wonderful handwritten 2 pg. example of "Binder's Notes" along the new rear endsheets mapping out the care --and the technical processes-- that went into both creating such an elegant re-binding and protecting the original text. An impressive important piece of Americana. James Lyon unknown books

1962ref. 605910Sydney: Robert Burton 1962. Unbound. Near Fine. Original Australian daybill movie poster for Stanely Kubrick's film adaptation of Lolita. Measuring approximately 13 ½" x 30". Creased twice from being folded for mailing as issued and some bumping to the corners with some very light toning to the margins still near fine with the illustration clean and bright. Features an illustration of Sue Lyon as Dolores "Lolita" Haze peering over her now iconic heart-shaped sunglasses. The poster states "The book is banned! How did they ever make a movie of Lolita" and at the bottom "Not suitable for children." A disclaimer that unintentionally though rather ironically highlights the misguided production of the film which Nabokov himself was ultimately unhappy with and which had traumatizing real-life consequences for the underage star of the film Sue Lyon who in an awful instance of life imitating art became entangled in a "relationship" with the film's producer a then 32 year-old James Harris. The bright and bold almost pop-art style of the illustration combined with its ironic subtext and unique format makes this an exceptionally novel piece. Robert Burton unknown books
