Title: Souvenir of the City of Emporia, Lyon County and the State of Kansas [wrapper title]
Author: [Kansas]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Description: Emporia, Ks: Gazette Print, 1905. [16]pp. Original printed wrappers, stapled. Illustrated. Minor wear and soiling. Soft vertical crease throughout. Internally clean. Very good. An unrecorded promotional pamphlet touting the advantages of the small city of Emporia, Kansas, as well as larger Lyon County near the turn of the 20th century. The work opens with a poem titled, "Opportunity" by notable Kansas Senator John J. Ingalls (who died in 1900) and a passage about the state of Kansas itself. This is followed by three pages on Lyon County, promoting the county's production of alfalfa, wheat, corn, poultry, butter, and milk, along with its railroads, churches, schools, and the mule and horse market. The remainder of the work focuses on Emporia, reprinting an article from the local newspaper heralding the town as the "Capital of Steerdom" and "Center of the Kingdom of the Big Fat Steer." The text also trumpets the town's churches, the College of Emporia, Sacred Heart School, the Business College, libraries, secret societies, and telegraph and telephone companies. The text is supplemented with photographs of the Kansas State Normal School (now Emporia State University), the College of Emporia, the Lyon County Court House, the Federal Building, the Peters Hardware Company's Building, the Emporia National Bank Building, and the Mit-Way Hotel. As of 2020, the population of Emporia was just over 24,000. We could locate no other copies of this pamphlet anywhere.

Title: Dinah. Featured Song Success in the New Plantation Revue (Society’s Rendezvous of N.Y.)
Author: [Music – Jazz Age] Akst, Harry; Lewis, Sam; Young, Joe; Barbelle, Alfred Willard [Baker, Josephine, et al.] [illustrator]
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Fine condition.
Description: New York City: Henry Waterson, Inc, 1925. Folio, illustrated wraps. 5 pp. Fine condition.. A striking Jazz Age sheet music issue and likely first edition for “Dinah,” the widely popular song composed by Harry Akst with lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young, here promoted as a “Featured Song Success” from The New Plantation (Society’s Rendezvous of N.Y.), a Harlem revue-style theatrical production. The revue was advertised as an all-Black production reopening the Plantation Cabaret at 50th Street and Broadway, featuring prominent performers including blues singer Ethel Waters alongside Will Vodery’s Parisian Orchestra, Josephine Baker, Bessie Allison, Leonard Harper, Jimmy Ferguson, and the Plantation beauty chorus.[1] “Dinah” would go on to become one of the most enduring standards of the decade. Multiple versions were published in 1925, this one in June, and though we are not able to establish definitive priority we guess that this is the first edition. Very scarce, with three copies found institutionally, at the Francis G. Spencer collection at Baylor University, BYU, and the British Library reference collection.
