1962réf. 189881962. Hastings March. Rage of Desire and Toward Howard. All Cats Are Grey 1962 pair two lesbian themed novels in a single duplex paperback issued for the early 1960s mass market. The format allowed each novel its own illustrated wrapper and promotional language with women and same sex desire used to market the book from both directions. The All Cats Are Grey wrapper explicitly describes a "sisterhood" within "cinema society" documenting the sensational vocabulary through which publishers advertised lesbian subject matter to paperback readers before Stonewall. Hastings March. Rage of Desire. Toward Howard. All Cats Are Grey. Chicago: Dollar Book Company 1962. Duplex edition containing two novels. 192 pages. Brightly colored pictorial wrappers 6.5 × 4 inches. The Rage of Desire wrapper depicts a reclining blonde woman. The opposing All Cats Are Grey wrapper shows one woman undressing while another woman wearing mod sunglasses observes from the background. Its caption reads: "Prowling through the lush jungle of cinema society is the fraternity of a third theme.that predatory sulky sexy sisterhood ." The two cover treatments make lesbian sexuality an explicit component of the book's commercial presentation rather than leaving its subject to the interior narrative alone. Published in 1962 the duplex preserves the packaging and vocabulary used to sell lesbian themed fiction through inexpensive American paperbacks at a time when publishers commonly presented same sex desire through suggestions of secrecy sexual danger and voyeurism. The unusual two novel construction also places two separately authored treatments of lesbian subject matter within one commercial object with each cover functioning as an advertisement for the novel entered from that side. Bright wrappers with the supplied description noting no substantial defects. Very good condition. unknown books

1994réf. 406067New York: Pantheon 1994. A fine copy. 8vo. 112 pages. Original cloth-backed boards; dust jacket. FIRST EDITION first printing the suppressed first state lacking the final two lines of verse on the last page. According to Spiegelman's agent Deborah Karl Pantheon finished publication of the book and sent out author's copies for review. Coming home on the train Karl noticed the mistake on the last page and informed Spiegelman whose initial reaction was to call for the entire run to be reprinted. Instead Pantheon floated the lines in to correct the error and save costs. This is presumably one of only a small handful likely to have been preserved of this first issue. Pantheon unknown books
1863réf. 843421863. Phillipps Charles Spencer March. Jurisprudence. London J.

Corners and spine ends worn. Bookplate to front free endpaper. Property stamp to title page. Worn but a good copy. $250. Phillipps examines the meaning of jurisprudence and distinguishes it from the more intuitive concept of justice. He argues that the fundamental principles of justice are matters of instinct and conscience not science. While some jurists might be led astray by "sophistry" even simple people can grasp true justice. Phillipps compares jurisprudence to a scientific language for expressing thought and suggests it is possible to create a "scientific system" of jurisprudence on the basis of any legal principles whether they are just or arbitrary. unknown books

1969réf. 222141969. Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam Fall Offensive Against the War in Vietnam handbill archive 1969 documents grassroots antiwar mobilization in the weeks surrounding the November 15 March on Washington and supports research into student organizing Vietnam War dissent protest communications and the relationship between antiwar activism and civil rights language. The material documents the system of mass antiwar protest coordination through locally distributed leaflets public calls for disciplined nonviolence strike-and-march scheduling and visual appeals to interracial and cross-movement solidarity revealing how organizers sought to convert dispersed campus opposition into a visible national demonstration. The Student Mobilization Committee was a national coalition active from 1966 to 1973 and the November 1969 Washington action drew more than 500000 demonstrators after the October Moratorium and alongside New Mobilization Committee activity making these handbills useful evidence of how antiwar organizations framed participation legality and public legitimacy during one of the largest Vietnam War protests in the United States. Two original handbills issued in connection with the November 14 and 15 1969 antiwar actions in Washington D.C. comprising one mimeographed leaflet distributed by the CWRU Student Mobilization Committee and one offset-printed graphic leaflet headed "FALL OFFENSIVE AGAINST THE WAR IN VIETNAM" each approximately 8½ x 11 inches. The mimeographed leaflet opens with a quoted November 9 1969 New York Times editorial warning that "The Administration has been following a course calculated to increase the danger that the protest march will turn into a violent confrontation" and answers with the committee's insistence that "Nov. 14-15 will be the most massive legal peaceful and non-violent demonstrations ever held in the U.S." Its text explains the functional logic of the protest effort arguing that "Only a massive peaceful demonstration of the American people can require the government to end the conflict and bring the troops home now" while also identifying government rhetoric as a threat to the movement's legitimacy: "The source of rumors about violence. is the government itself." The second leaflet uses bold graphic design and a black-and-white protest photograph showing demonstrators one raising a peace sign with placards reading "End the War Now!" and "Bring the Troops Home Now!" and a background banner declaring "End Racial Oppression!" Beneath the image the leaflet gives the coordinated schedule: "FRIDAY NOV. 14 / STRIKE AGAINST THE WAR" and "SATURDAY NOV. 15 / MARCH ON WASHINGTON" linking workplace and campus strike tactics to the mass Washington demonstration. Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam. Nov. 14-15 peaceful and non-violent demonstrations leaflet. Cleveland: CWRU Student Mobilization Committee 1969. Mimeographed organizing handbill using press quotation rebuttal and direct appeal to defend the planned Washington demonstrations against anticipated claims of violence. The leaflet shows the mechanisms of antiwar communication in practice: organizers framed participation as peaceful legal and morally necessary urging readers that "Marching on Washington November 15 in the peaceful and non-violent demonstration is the best way to build that movement to end the war immediately. JOIN US!" 2 Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam. Fall Offensive Against the War in Vietnam. Washington D.C.: Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam 1969. Offset-printed handbill combining protest imagery antiwar slogans and a two-day action calendar for the November 14 strike and November 15 March on Washington. The inclusion of the banner "End Racial Oppression!" places the antiwar action within a broader field of late-1960s radical politics where opposition to U.S. military policy intersected visually and rhetorically with civil rights and racial justice claims. Light toning minor edge wear and small creases very good. Compact evidence of the messaging infrastructure behind the November 1969 antiwar mobilization preserving both the defensive language of nonviolence and the public visual vocabulary used to recruit participants for national protest. unknown books
1930réf. 148911Beverly Hills CA: United Artists 1930. 16 page vintage program for the 1930 film announcing its showing at Broadway theaters in New York with abundant black and white photographs of actors aerial stunts and Howard Hughes throughout. Hughes' most expensive and ambitious production a story about World War I combat pilots today still a dazzling work of blockbuster action and actual aerial biplane footage. Originally conceived as a silent film and then retooled as a talkie in the wake of "The Jazz Singer." Most of the film is shot in black and white but one sequence is in color-the only color footage ever released of actress Jean Harlow before her untimely death. James Whale was hired by Hughes to direct the talking sequences Whale's first major effort in Hollywood but the overall production took so long that Whale's subsequent directorial effort "Journey's End" was released first. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Cinematography. Card wrappers saddle stapled 5 x 6.5 inches. 16 pages. Near Fine. United Artists unknown books
