Description
1966. First Edition. Signed. (SENDAK, Maurice) SINGER, Isaac Bashevis. Zlateh the Goat and Other Stories. New York: Harper & Row, (1966). Octavo, original gilt-stamped white cloth, original dust jacket. $1650.First trade edition, presentation copy, of this collection of Jewish folklore, inscribed on the half title to a close friend and neighbor: ""For Elizabeth—For whom I am signing books today! So there! Maurice Sendak May '79.""Zlateh the Goat, Singer's first book for children, contains seven tales of Jewish folklore, and is illustrated with 17 black-and-white plates by Maurice Sendak. Published the same year as the signed limited edition. Hanrahan A66. The former owner of this inscribed book was Maurice Sendak's neighbor, Andrew, from Ridgefield, Connecticut. Sendak bought a home and studio in Ridgefield in 1972 with his longtime partner, Eugene Glynn, and lived there until his death. Andrew first encountered Sendak in 1975 during one of his daily dog walks. (Sendak owned many dogs throughout his life, and they often starred in his books.) Andrew was immediately taken with Sendak, who reminded him of his recently deceased father. One day, Andrew called Sendak at home and asked if he could join him on his walks. Andrew and Sendak thus embarked on a 37-year friendship that also included the Andrew's mother, Betty, as well as Andrew's brother. Sendak went on long walks and hikes with Andrew and his family regularly, discussing general life events, opera, and books. He also invited them into his studio to show off works in progress. Andrew's mother, Betty, was an avid reader and collector and she and Sendak would talk late into the night about books. Sendak offered Betty advice about how to find and authenticate rare children's books, which she used to build her collection. Additionally, he frequently bartered for autographs (i.e. a cake for an inscribed drawing). Sendak often referred to Betty as ""Elizabeth"" in inscriptions as he felt that ""Betty"" was too common a name. The many inscribed drawings, along with first editions, signed books, and other valuable items grew into one of the country's premier Sendak collections. Calling card of Robert M. White laid in.Book with interior generally fine and light foxing to cloth, corner-clipped dust jacket with only slight rubbing and toning to extremities. A near-fine inscribed copy with interesting provenance.

Description
Washington DC: Indochina Resource Center, 1972. Very good. Three publications and a typed letter, the latter signed in manuscript, by the Indochina Resource Center and the Indochina Mobile Education Project, 1972 - 1974. Founded in 1971, the Indochina Resource Center served as an educational institution - informing the public, legislators, and the media about Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, where U.S. military personnel were fighting. Research shows that the addressee of the letter - Huynh Van Hong - appears to have been a Vietnamese national, who had entered the United States in 1967, under the sponsorship of the Agency for International Development (AID), with a program for the education of future leaders of Vietnam. He would go into a protracted legal battle with the AID and the INS, when the former suddenly announced he was to be deported for being an ailien without a sponsor or other authority to remain in the United States. - Indochina Resource Center "The U. S. and Indochina" + "Special Congressional Insert - Indochina Legislation for 1974." Washington, DC, 1973; pp. [4] + [2]; minor age-toning; in very good or better condition. - Indochina Resource Center "Peace is at Hand."
