1919ref. 22594ENew York: George H. Doran 1919. First Edition. Signed and inscribed by the author / actress Pearl White on the half-title: “To ‘Nils’ Just me as I really am Pearl”. Front hinge split and starting to the interior with overall handling edge wear dust soiling to the cloth and some spotting without dust jacket. The memoirs of Pearl Fay White 1889 – 1938 who rose to popularity as an actress on the stage screen given the nickname the ‘Queen of the Serials’ most notably as the spirited ingenue / heroine in The Perils of Pauline which catapulted her into international stardom. Some of her other notable films include The Exploits of Elaine The House of Hate and The Lightning Raider. Sadly Ms. White was unable to find success in feature films and retired from acting in 1923. She was married twice - first to actor Victor Sutherland 1907 - 1914 then to actor Wallace McCutcheon 1919 - 1921. Pearl White's place in film history is important in both the evolution of cinema genres and the role of women in the film industry and she has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Tragically many of her films are officially considered to be lost. The 1947 film The Perils of Pauline is a fictionalized biography of Pearl White starring Betty Hutton as White with John Lund Billy De Wolfe William Demarest and Constance Collier. George H. Doran hardcover

1931ref. 018803New York: The John Day Company 1931. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo. 375pp. Solid True First Printing of the First Edition with "flees" on p.100 line 17. Brown top-stain. Buck's landmark winner of the 1932 Pulitzer Prize. Bound in brown cloth with lettering and decoration in gilt. Green illustrated end-papers. Square and clean with maybe just a hint of page toning but no foxing writing or any other markings. Some spotting to cloth and spine gilt dulled as is the top-stain. Spine cloth creased and loosened from text-block in spots. Mild edge-wear. Very attractive unclipped later-issue dust-jacket $2.50 Pulitzer winner notice has some chipping to spine ends toned spine and edges and some wear to edges and tips. Still bright complete and presents well. Pasted onto the verso of the front end-paper is a form note signed by Buck addressing booksellers and offering her thanks for their efforts while introducing a new work her 1954 semi-autobiographical "My Several Worlds". It seems clear that this was a piece of ephemera for review copies of that later work and the previous owner has simply pasted it into this copy of "The Good Earth". The note is in very good condition with some spotting. Not perfect but a presentable and collectable copy with a fairly uncommon signature and at a great price. The John Day Company hardcover

1946ref. 5303Quarto 29.5x21 cm. 81 pp. In unusually fine condition. Nicely preserved. Czech postwar avant-garde. Original mimeograph with illustrations photographs and photomontages. Printed as a manuscript and reproduced thus by Fechtner. A dadaist-spirited anthology of texts viewing the period of German occupation through a prism of nonsense and ridiculing those leading the way towards the bright future. The first doctored photo shows a group of people standing outside a building with a plaque that reads "In this house Pankrac Perla the founder of Recesse Is Still Snowing did not live." Pankrac Perla is the collective pseudonym for the "recessiste" or Mischief-makers an informal student group consisting of Ladislav Rychmann who later directed the first Czech musical Starci na chmelu painter and composer Frantisek Chaun the actor Josef Chvalina film historian and grandson of Jaroslav Vrchlicky Myrtil Frida and translator Jiri Becka among others formed in the late 1930s who drew partly on the humor of writers such as Jaroslav Hašek or Jaroslav Zak and partly on dadaism and surrealism. Czech scholars have attributed the influence of the Mischief-makers on the post-war generation of Czech intellectuals. The Czech language is the only language in the world that uses "recession" or economic decline to also mean joking irony and satire and a number of Czech linguists trace this second meaning to the group's creation of a specific type of humor bordering on the edge of slapstick absurdity and nonsense. The first story here Skurda v okupaci Skurda During the Occupation continues the adventures of the group's favorite protagonist Jordan Skurda first introduced in their 1937 novel We're Going to Bodele - Escape from the Sahara. The Mischief-makers were criticized by their elders for attacking authority of all kinds - parents teachers and officials - and the Czech fascist press seized upon their writings and pranks to criticize them as products of the Czechoslovak educational system. Petr Koura Literary noviny. Yet the fascists weren't alone: criticism of the group's influence on the Czech youth and their failure to take art seriously appears in the literary revue Kriticky měsiÄník in 1940. The humor collected in this anthology is unrelenting such as one letter to the Nazi ministry suggesting they ban senior citizens from feeding pigeons and put them to work; musicians too since violinists would could use their arm motions to saw wood with mathematical formulas backing up the claims. Another interesting contribution is the A Moment of Silence for the Final Congress of Coffee Tasters - in memory of the first "Dadaing" of Tristan Tzara - consisting of a three-page play with dadaists on rocking horses.

1931ref. 143665New York: The John Day Company 1931. First edition of the author's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and masterpiece. First issue with "flees" for "fleas" on page 100 line 17. Octavo bound in full morocco by the Harcourt Bindery gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands gilt ruling to the front and rear panels gilt inner dentelles stamp-signed by the Harcourt Bindery marbled endpapers all edges gilt. In fine condition. Over eighty years have passed since The Good Earth won the Pulitzer Prize it has retained its popularity and become one of the great modern classics. "I can only write what I know and I know nothing but China having always lived there" wrote Pearl Buck. In The Good Earth she presents a graphic view of a China when the last emperor reigned and the vast political and social upheavals of the twentieth century were but distant rumblings for the ordinary people. This moving classic story of the honest farmer Wang Lung and his selfless wife O-lan is must reading for those who want to fully appreciate the sweeping changes that have occurred in the lives of the Chinese people during this century.
