Seller: Harper's Books

Title: Area Ephemera Collection
Author: Area (Nightclub)
Seller: Harper's Books (United States)
Condition: Contents uniformly in near fine to fine condition.
Description: New York, 1983–1987. Contents uniformly in near fine to fine condition.. Collection of 120 flyers and posters from New York’s hottest and most inventive nightclub, Area, during the mid-1980s. Although it was a disco, Area was a purely visual, happenings-based venue, where New York's art, music, design, fashion, and literary worlds collided; Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, or Jean-Michel Basquiat might be brushing up against Michael Forbes, David Byrne, or Georgio Armani, and Stephen Saban would be there to remind them what happened afterwards in his Details magazine column. Unlike other downtown clubs that focused on music or dancing, Area was driven by art and the scene that it engendered, through its theme nights, elaborate installations, and inventive flyers that seemed to embody Warhol's concept of business art. This archive includes Area's famously unconventional invitations, posters, articles, booklets, and other ephemera from the nightclub's short-lived, yet significant, four-year history. Features two cards enclosed in envelopes addressed to Richard Serra. A defining celebration of the creative hedonism of 1980s New York and a remarkable documentation of the “Bright Lights, Big City” years.

Title: [Three pamphlets and a typed letter from the Oregon Equal Suffrage Association.]
Author: [ Women's Suffrage].[ Duniway, Abigail Scott]
Seller: Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB (United States)
Description: [Portland, Oregon: Oregon Equal Suffrage Association, 1906.] Letter dated May 16, 1906. These items encourage voters to support the 1906 women's suffrage ballot measure in Oregon. Women's suffrage appeared on the ballot in Oregon six times (in 1884, 1900, 1906, 1908, 1910, and 1912), which was more than any other state. The pamphlets are as follows: "Is it Just?" (which argues that women should have the right to vote if Black men did, and cites the success of equal suffrage in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming), "Testimony from Governors of the Four States in which Women Vote," and "Some Reasons Why Oregon Women Should Vote. Three pamphlets (3 x 6"), [4] pp. each; plus a typed letter (8 x 11"), [1] p. addressed to voters from Oregon Equal Suffrage Association President Abigail Scott Duniway and other Oregon suffrage leaders. Some creasing to letter, and some minor toning. Overall in fine condition. According to Kimberly Jensen's article in the Oregon Encyclopedia, the 1906 women's suffrage effort in Oregon was well-funded and enthusiastically backed by national suffrage groups, with the NAWSA (National American Woman Suffrage Association) contributing $18,000 to the effort and NAWSA President Anna Howard Shaw making an appearance in Oregon for the campaign. "Despite all these efforts, the 1906 campaign met with defeat," Jensen writes. "Liquor and business interests used the press, public relations, and dollars to oppose the measure." Conflicts between Abigail Scott Duniway and suffrage leaders also jeopardized the efforts of the movement. The measure failed with forty-four percent support in 1906 and failed again in 1908 and 1910. In 1912, most Oregon women finally gained the right to vote, though first-generation Asian immigrants (both male and female) and Native women were still ineligible for citizenship and could not vote. Duniway (1834 – 1915) was a writer and suffrage leader who was mentored by Susan B. Anthony. She helped negotiate the 1890 merger of two suffrage organizations to form the NAWSA; ran a human rights newspaper, The New Northwest, for sixteen years; and saw Oregon women gain the right to vote in 1912 after decades of her efforts alongside other suffragists.

Title: Fourth Boston Food Fair. Under the auspices and personal management of the Boston Retail Grocers' Association, Mechanics' Building, Huntington Ave., Boston, October 2 to October 28, 1899
Author: [Food Fairs]; Boston Retail Grocers' Association
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: Boston: F.M. Porter Co, 1899. Quarto, stapled in wrappers (24 x 17.5 cm.), 80 pages; 1 plate. Illustrated, black & white and chromolithograph plate. Advertising. FIRST EDITION. The "Official catalog, musical program, list of exhibitors" for this fourth congress of members of the Boston Retail Grocers Association. The association was founded in 1881, and held its first food fair that year. Photographic portraits of the senior members of the Association are included, as is a description of Miss Nellie Dot Ranche of Chicago who was brought in for the occasion to run the Domestic Science Programs. It's interesting that the committee reached out to the Midwest at this moment when Cooking Schools in Boston were on the rise, and very visible. The copious advertising displays a range of categories of goods one would find in a grocery of the turn of the 19th century: coffee, cocoa, mustard, Havana cigars, root beer, Ceylon tea, French Coca Wine, virgin olive oil, nut meats, and salt as well as household goods, including: thread, collars, washing liquids, bluing, ink. Also represented are goods and services aimed at the grocers and retailers: boxes and bags, promotional printing, specialized contracting, refrigeration, etc. Tiny bit of spotting to green and gold-printed gray wrappers, otherwise fine. [OCLC locates just one copy (Winterthur)].

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Recent concerns over environmental pollution and food quality degradation caused by the excessive use of chemicals have prompted scientists and policymakers to re-evaluate modern agricultural processes and search for alternatives that will aid in the production of healthy foods and the protection of our environment. Nature Farming and Microbial Applications summarizes current research in the field, highlighting unique practices such as the use of microbial inoculants and various alternatives to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The principles of nature farming, as set forth by Japanese philosopher Mokichi Okada, must fulfill these requirements: producing safe and nutritious food that promotes good health providing economic and spiritual benefits to both producers and consumers being sustainable and easily practiced conserving and protecting the environment producing sufficient high-quality food for an expanding world population To this end, Nature Farming and Microbial Applications addresses issues of concern to organic farmers, including: soil fertility pest control effective microorganisms photosynthesis transpiration plant-water relations stress resistance of growing crops This well-referenced volume contains unique and original methods of modeling and analysis. It will be used again and again as a reference source for students and researchers.(Publisher).
