Title: THE REAL WAR Inscribed to Barry Goldwater
Author: NIXON, Richard
Seller: Charles Agvent, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine in a Very Good dustwrapper with a closed tear and crease at the rear
Description: New York: Warner Books, (1980). First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in a Very Good dustwrapper with a closed tear and crease at the rear. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Nixon, as usual for this book, on a tipped-in publisher's bookplate. This copy, however, is INSCRIBED to Barry Goldwater. Barry Goldwater, a five-term United States Senator from Arizona (1953-1965, 1969-1987) and the Republican Party's nominee for President in the 1964 election, is the politician most often credited for sparking the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 1960s. His landslide defeat to Lyndon Johnson, which also brought down many other Republican candidates, opened the door for Johnson and a Congress dominated by Democrats to pass the Great Society programs. Goldwater returned to the Senate in 1969, but his role as a leader of the conservative movement had been transferred to Ronald Reagan. In 1974 Goldwater successfully urged President Richard Nixon (whom he called "the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life") to resign at the height of the Watergate scandal. Goldwater retired in 1987 and was succeeded in office by John McCain. Acquired from the Goldwater family.

Title: Description des beautés de Génes et de ses environs
Author: Brusco, Giacomo ; Carlo Giuseppe Ratti.
Seller: Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: A Génes [i.e., Genova]: Chez Yves Gravier, 1773. Very Good. Octavo (18 cm); [2], 155, [1] pages, and [13] folded leaves of engraved views, maps, and illustrations. Engraved crest of Genoa on title page. Text within typographic border. Bound in woodblock-printed floral polychrome wraps. Mottled edges. White background of wraps rather toned. Second, much expanded edition of this architectural guide to the city of Genoa, intended, one supposes, for French and Francophone tourists. (The 1768 edition was shorter and had only four illustrations.) The printer, named in the colophon as Adamo Scionico, chose good paper stock that holds the bite of the type and of the engraved plates, which are bright and fresh. The authors names do not appear in the text, but do appear in a very similar 1768 publication in Italian from the same printer, and they have been traditionally applied to the French text as well.

Title: Attacks of Fort Washington by His Majesty s Forces under the Command of Gen.l Sir Willm Howe K:B. 16 Nov.r 1776
Author: D.T. Valentine
Seller: Kurt A. Sanftleben (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: New York: For D.T. Valentine's Manual for 1861 by Geo Haywood, 1861. Disbound. Very good. The hand-colored, lithographed map image measures 22" x 16.5" and has a 7/8" margin at top, a 5/8" margin on the right and bottom, and a 1/8" margin along most of the left edge where it had been trimmed when bound into David T. Valentine's Manual of the Common Council of the City of New York. It is oriented with north to the right. Hachures show relief, and military units are depicted in red and blue. The map was said to have been "copied from an original map kindly loaned to the compiler by Mr. A. Suart." There is some light toning along the binding folds and sheet edges. Some of the folds have short splits. There is a small (1/4") hole above the 's' in "Hudson's" and a ¾" closed tear at the left edge of the Hudson River. On 16 November 1776, the Hessian General Wilhelm von Knyphausen and his army of 8,000 German mercenaries and British regulars attacked Fort Washington (now the location of Bennet Park at the intersection of Fort Washington Avenue and 183rd Street) making use of information provided by the first American traitor, William Demont, the fort's adjutant. Although the fort's defenders were initially able to provide stiff resistance, they were eventually outflanked, and the 3,000 man garrison was captured. The Americans were then imprisoned within British prison ships anchored in New York Harbor where a great many died of starvation and disease. John and Margaret Corbin were both casualties of the battle. John was an artilleryman who was killed in the midst of the fight. When he fell, his wife Margaret (Molly), who had accompanied him as a camp follower, took his place at the cannon and continued to clean, load, and fire the gun until she was severely wounded in the left arm. Three years later, "Captain Molly," who had lost the use of her arm, became the first woman to receive a military pension from the United States. This map is in better condition with wider margins than usually found, and it is surprisingly scarce as well. At the time of listing, one other example is for sale in the trade. OCLC shows only two physical examples held by institutions; Worthpoint and the Rare Book Hub list only four auction results.
