Description
Buffalo, NY: Punk Magazine Inc, 1973. The second issue of Buffalo's Punk Magazine-- a predecessor of the much better-known New York City periodical with the same name by two years. 20 pp. Tabloid format newspaper. Very Good with horizontal fold, evenly toned, diagonal closed edge tear on first two leaves. Rare.An important, unjustly obscure short-lived garage/ proto-punk periodical issued by a University of Buffalo student with articles by leading rock critics Lester Bangs and Richard Meltzer. A primary source of "punk" as a musical term came earlier in January 1973 with Greg Shaw's review of the Nuggets compilation in Rolling Stone, "Punk Rock: The Arrogant Underbelly of Sixties Pop." That was a garage compilation, though, as the music subgenre did not quite exist yet, and this issue focuses on '60s acts like Blue Cheer and their considerably poppier contemporaries as well as oddballs such as Wild Man Fischer.

Description
No Binding. Very Good. folio, three pages, partially cross written, some splitting at fold joints, few words missing from rough seal opening on third page, some old tape repairs to third page as well, few additional notes on integral address leaf, else in good, readable condition. The famed British silversmith, James Willis Dixon, writes to his fiancé describing Andrew Jackson's White House, eight months after an assassination attempt against the President: "Most Affectionate Ann, . I have since been to the cities of Baltimore and Washington. The latter place being the Seat of Government. Shook hands with the President, General Jackson. Saw the President's House, and the "Capitol" building which we should call Houses of Parliament. The whole front of building is 352 feet long, has 3 large domes, a great part of which as well as President's House is composed of white marble and has noble marble pillars of various colors. A Building well worthy, the pride of an American and one which is in every way fit for the Senate of so great a nation to assemble in. The City has only 20,000 inhabitants, but being small and out of the bustle of trade, the Representatives have sufficient opportunities for the proper attendance of their duties. Each has an assigned chair, desk, paper, pens, with several newspapers a day, 32/ a day and 32/ a mile travelling expences so long as Congress sits. I talked to two young ladies who quizzed me pretty much, said anything but what they thought, joked me much, but I was not lacking, whatever they said out of reason, I said something stronger, they enquired whether I should write a book? As several English have and they do not like it, replyd certainly, well will you put our conversation in? to be sure, and your names, also that you requested me to write a book, it would sell so much better, etc. . having travelled over so great an extent of country while I've been in the New World such is the state of these States that .it would be the greatest difficulty to find a white man who could not read and write, except he might be an emigrant. Nearly everybody dresses well, and great many girls play and sing tolerably well." Founded by the writer's father, the Sheffield firm of James Dixon & Son, still in existence today, produced fine silverware, which is still avidly sought by collectors. Dixon remained in America for some years as his father's representative though he briefly returned to England to marry Ann Shepperson, whom he brought back to New York. Dixon became a noted art collector, his Rembrandt, Rubens and other paintings were auctioned off after his death. A large archive of 190 letters written by Dixon during his American travels (July 1835 to February 1839) were sold at Sothebys in 1979, and are now in the Sheffield City Library, with a microfilm copy in the Library of Congress. Very few of his American letters remain in private hands.

Pages are clean and unmarked. A very presentable set of the first three volumes in David Weber and John Ringo's science fiction epic, the Empire of Man series, also called the Prince Roger series and March Upcountry series, including March Upcountry, March to the Sea, and March to the Stars. ABOUT THIS SERIES: The Royal Brat is in Trouble Roger Ramius Sergei Chiang MacClintock didn't understand. He was young, handsome, athletic, an excellent dresser, and third in line for the Throne of Man...so why wouldn't anyone at Court trust him? Why wouldn't even his own mother, the Empress, explain why they didn't trust him? Or why the very mention of his father's name was forbidden at Court? Or why his mother had decided to pack him off to a backwater planet aboard what was little more than a tramp freighter to represent her at a local political event better suited to a third assistant undersecretarv of state? It probably wasn't too surprising that someone in his position should react by becoming spoiled, selfcentered and petulant. After all, what else did he have to do with his life? But that was before a saboteur tried to blow up his transport. Then warships of the Empire of Man's worst rivals shot the crippled vessel out of space. Then Roger found himself shipwrecked on the planet Marduk, whose jungles were full of damnbeasts, killerpillars, carnivorous plants, torrential rain, and barbarian hordes with really bad dispositions. Now all Roger has to do is hike halfway around the entire planet, then capture a spaceport from the Bad Guys, somehow commandeer a starship, and then go home to Mother for explanations. Fortunately, Roger has an ace in the hole: Bravo Company of Bronze Battalion of The Empress' Own Regiment. If anyone can get him off Marduk alive, it's the Bronze Barbarians. Assuming that Prince Roger manages to grow up before he gets all of them killed. (Publisher).
