Description
1945. (WORLD WAR II). Mimeographed typescript of the USS Salamaua News. No place, September 3, 1945. Two sheets of beige paper, staple-bound as issued, each measuring 8 by 13 inches; pp. 2. $9500.Original mimeographed USS Salamaua News newsletter containing detailed news of Japanese surrender, preliminary reports on POWs in Japan and their treatment by the Japanese, Japanese reactions to the surrender, brief news from around the world, and baseball standings, accompanied by a black-and-white photograph of the newsletter's owner, Lt. Commander Fred R. Salisbury II of the Salamaua.This newsletter was issued for crewmen on the USS Salamaua, best known for being attacked on January 13, 1945. This ship newsletter from nine months after the attack kept the crew of approximately 570 officers and enlisted men informed of world events—particularly those relevant to their service. This issue of the newsletter provides details of the Japanese surrender; initial reports on prisoners in Japanese prison camps; and other world news including standings for the National League and American League baseball teams.Notable quotations from the newsletter include: ""TOKYO BAY Japan surrendered formally and unconditionally to the United States and its allied partners today… MacArthur told the Japs that 'As supreme commander for the allied powers, I announce it is my firm purpose in the tradition of the countries I represent to proceed in the discharge of my responsibilities with justice and tolerance while making all necessary dispositions to insure that terms of surrender are fully, promptly and faithfully complied with… President Truman, speaking over a radio hookup… proclaimed Sunday, September 2nd, as 'V-J Day,' The day of formal surrender by Japan… Liberated allied prisoners of war Sunday recited more instances of beating, hunger, and humiliation… There was no indication of deliberate German scale mass extermination… Approximately 4,200 Americans, British, and Dutch remain in camps in the Tokyo-Yokohama area… TOKYO The Japanese said Saturday that for two days after Emperor Hirohito told his people the war was over, several planes, evidently flown by fanatical suicide pilots, dropped pamphlets on major Japanese cities asking the people to disregard the Emperor's word and fight on…""The USS Salamaua had participated in the invasion of Lingayen Gulf in the Philippines. A kamikaze attack carried out by a Ki-84 airplane left a 16-foot by 32-foot hole in the Salamaua's flight deck. It also sparked a number of fires. The plane had carried two 551-pound bombs, allowing it to penetrate deeply into the lower decks. One bomb detonated near the tank tops, just above the bilge and narrowly missing the bomb stowage compartment. The blast sent debris and fuselage across the flight deck, collapsing a number of bulkheads. The second bomb failed to explode and was ejected through the starboard side of the ship at the waterline. The 20-inch hole it left allowed seawater to rush into the ship. As a result, the ship lost power, communications, and steering, becoming a sitting duck.While the Salamaua sat immobile, two more planes tried to strike it. One crashed into the sea, while another detonated in mid-air as it approached. The failure of those pilots meant that the attack killed only 15 of the Salamaua's crew. Another 88 crewmen were injured, some seriously.When Rear Admiral Calvin T. Durgin, in command of a task force, asked for the origin of the smoke he saw coming from the Salamaua, he received the reply, ""Something just went through our flight deck."" The starboard engine was submerged and the ship listed 8 degrees to starboard. Yet, the crew managed to get the ship functional using only the portside engine. Ten long hours after the attack, the Salamaua was able to break away to Leyte for repairs. An entire day of pumping failed to alleviate the flooding, so the ship merely underwent stabilization repairs before being sent to San Francisco for two rounds of repair. The Salamaua returned to the Philippines in May and eventually was retired from service in 1946, earning the dubious distinction of being the last ship to be successfully attacked by a kamikaze. From the collection of Lt. Commander Fred R. Salisbury II of Minnesota. Salisbury worked in his father's business, a furniture manufacturer, until the outbreak of World War II, Salisbury enlisted in the U.S. Navy in February of 1942 and was assigned to be lieutenant commander of the USS Salamaua, a Casablanca-class escort aircraft carrier. Salisbury was released on inactive duty in March 1946 and became vice president of the family business. Laid-in photograph of Salisbury in Guam in 1945.A fascinating World War II artifact.

London: Zoological Society of London, 1860-1872. First editions. 44 OFFPRINTS COLLECTED BY PROMINENT BRITISH NATURALIST, AUTHORED AND INSCRIBED BY COLLEAGUES IN THE DECADE FOLLOWING DARWIN'S ORIGIN OF SPECIES. 14x21.5 cm 3/4 leather & burgundy cloth bound collection of offprints from Proc Zool Soc London, 1860-1872, presumably collected by JB Pettigrew, to whom a number of the papers is inscribed by the authors. The papers vary in length from 2 pages to substantial monographs, total size in the region of 400 pp. with 10 colored plates and several full page engraved plates as well as numerous text ills. Most concern mammalian or avian anatomy. Of the 44, 29 are by James Murie (2 jointly with Mivart), 6 by Mivart alone, 3 by Cobbold and 4 by Flower, and one each by Kirk and Huxley. Flower sided with Darwin against Richard Owen over the nature of the human brain and one of the papers here is on the anatomy, including brain, of the South American saki monkey Pithecia monachus. Cobbold was a leading authority on helminthology on which a 22 pp. paper is included here (along with one on the anatomy of the giraffe). Murie himself is best known for work on the Thames fisheries and some African adventures but was for some time assistant in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons. He appears to have been a friend of Pettigrew, 13 of his papers being inscribed to him, sometimes as 'my friend' or similar. Pettigrew was an eminent Scottish naturalist and museum curator who became a leading authority on animal locomotion and flight (even designing an ornithopter) on which he published several works, as well as an anti-Darwinian 3 volume book on 'Design in Nature' (completed 1908). This volume is in excellent condition, being internally clean and tight with only occasional brown spotting, though there is some cloth fading and surface marking to leather on gilt panelled spine. The spine label has gone but impression remains reading 'Papers by Doctors Murie, Mivart, Flower, Cobbold &c'. It was apparently one of a series of similar volumes being numbered 'III' in one of the panels. An early hand-written list of the paper titles is laid in (but missing 2 papers by Murie). THOMAS SPENCER COBBOLD (1828 - 1886), was an English scientist. After graduating in medicine at the University of Edinburgh in 1851, he was appointed lecturer on botany at St Mary's Hospital, London in 1857, and also on zoology and comparative anatomy at Middlesex Hospital in 1861. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in June, 1864. His special subject was helminthology, particularly the worms parasitic in man and animals, and as a physician he gained a considerable reputation in the diagnosis of cases depending on the presence of such organisms. WILLIAM HENRY FLOWER (1831 - 1899) was an English comparative anatomist and surgeon. Flower became a leading authority on mammals, and especially on the primate brain. He supported Thomas Henry Huxley in an important controversy with Richard Owen about the human brain and eventually succeeded Owen as Director of the Natural History Museum. Flower succeeded John Thomas Quekett as Conservator of the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England on the recommendation of Huxley and others. Flower became associated with Huxley's controversy with Richard Owen concerning the human brain. Owen had erroneously said that the human brain had structures that were not present in other mammals, and separated man off into a Sub-Class of its own instead of a genus in the primates. At the 1862 meeting in Cambridge when Owen read a paper maintaining his claims, Flower stood up and said "I happen to have in my pocket a monkey's brain" - and produced the object in question! (report in the Times). In 1882 he was awarded the Royal Medal of the Royal Society. He was President of the Zoological Society of London from 1879 to 1899. THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY (1825 – 1895) was an English biologist and anthropologist who specialised in comparative anatomy. He has become known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his advocacy of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. He became the finest comparative anatomist of the later 19th century. He worked on invertebrates, clarifying relationships between groups previously little understood. Later, he worked on vertebrates, especially on the relationship between apes and humans. JOHN KIRK (1832 - 1922) was a Scottish physician, naturalist, companion to explorer David Livingstone, and British administrator in Zanzibar. He earned his medical degree from the University of Edinburgh. He was a keen botanist throughout his life and was highly regarded by successive directors of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew: William Hooker, Joseph Dalton Hooker and William Thistleton-Dyer. ST. GEORGE JACKSON MIVART (1827 - 1900) was an English biologist, initially an ardent believer in natural selection but later becoming one of its fiercest critics. Mivart attempted to reconcile Darwin's theory of evolution with the beliefs of the Catholic Church and finished by being condemned by both parties. Fellow of the Linnean Society from 1862, Secretary from 1874-80, and Vice-President in 1892. In 1867 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for his work "On the Appendicular skeleton of the Primates". Mivart was someone Darwin took seriously. One of his criticisms, to which Darwin responded in later editions of the Origin of Species, was a perceived failure of natural selection to explain the incipient stages of useful structures. Taking the eye as an example, Darwin was able to show many stages of light sensitivity and eye development in the animal kingdom as proof of the utility of less than perfect sight (argument by intermediate stages). JAMES MURIE (1832-1925) earned his MD from the University of Glasgow and specializing in zoology, he first worked at the Royal Infirmary, Glasgow, proceeding to the Royal College of Surgeons in London as assistant in the Museum, where, under Prof. J. E. Queckett, he was a comparative anatomist specializing in aquatic mammals. PROVENANCE: JAMES BELL PETTIGREW (1834 - 1908) was a distinguished naturalist in Edinburgh and London, and at St Andrews University from 1875 until his death. Pettigrew was an internationally acknowledged authority on animal locomotion. In 1862 Pettigrew accepted the post of Assistant Curator at the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons in London which he held for five years. In 1867 he retired to Ireland to study the flight of birds and bats. In 1868, at the age of 36, Pettigrew was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1873 Pettigrew published Animal Locomotion: or Walking, Swimming and Flying, his most popular work. COMPLETE LIST OF PAPERS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.

Description
2000. 2600: The Hacker Quarterly which document the technical practice of hacking ranging from telephone and computer systems, networks, encryption, consumer hardware to the legal and political questions it raised, from the status of code as speech to state surveillance. Archive of 10 issues. This run of ten issues, spanning Fall 2000 to Autumn 2008, documents the longest running hacker periodical through the years in which the Internet became ordinary infrastructure and the legal treatment of code, privacy, and intrusion moved from specialist concern to open public dispute. Its readers ranged from computer scientists and telecom hobbyists to college students and a broader audience drawn to underground technical culture. The run documents the legal and cultural contestation surrounding a pivotal phase of technological change, as networked computing became ordinary infrastructure and the status of code, privacy, and security became matters of public dispute. Eric Corley [Emmanuel Goldstein] (ed.). 2600: The Hacker Quarterly. Middle Island, NY: 2000 to 2008. Archive of Ten issues: Vol. 17, No. 3, Fall 2000; Vol. 22, No. 2, Summer 2005; Vol. 22, No. 3, Autumn 2005; Vol. 22, No. 4, Winter 2005-2006; Vol. 24, No. 1, Spring 2007; Vol. 24, No. 2, Summer 2007; Vol. 24, No. 3, Autumn 2007; Vol. 25, No. 1, Spring 2008; Vol. 25, No. 2, Summer 2008; Vol. 25, No. 3, Autumn 2008. The articles' contents join technical method with legal and political pressure: man-in-the-middle attacks against online poker software, Skype-based building access, proxy circumvention, RFID tracking, botnet capture, VoIP loopholes, campus information flows through Wikipedia, custom caller ID, charge-number spoofing, and European data-retention policy. Regular departments include "Politics," "Telecom Informer," "Hacker Perspective," "Marketplace," letters, puzzles, reader submissions, calls for articles sent to the Middle Island editorial office, and meeting lists tying the quarterly magazine to local hacker gatherings. Founded in 1984 and named for the 2600 Hz signaling tone that phone phreaks had used to seize long-distance phone lines, 2600 entered the new decade as a named defendant in one of the first major tests of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. In late 1999 the magazine posted the DVD-decryption program DeCSS, along with links to other sites hosting it on 2600.com; eight motion picture studios sued, and the resulting case, Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Corley, named for publisher Eric Corley, turned on the question at the center of the magazine's politics: whether computer code is speech protected by the First Amendment. The Southern District of New York rejected that defense and permanently enjoined 2600 from both posting DeCSS and knowingly linking to it. The litigation ran directly alongside this run's earliest issue, and the later issues then register the widening stakes of security research amid the PATRIOT Act, NSA warrantless wiretapping, RFID adoption, campus network controls, and European data-retention rules, with first-Friday meeting listings in each issue preserving the magazine's double identity as publication and organizing network. Wrappers with light rubbing, handling wear; interiors generally clean, complete, and sound. Adhesive residue from price stickers remain on several covers. Overall in very good condition. This run preserves 2600 during the years when hacker periodical culture treated Internet filtering, telecom systems, surveillance law, and practical security research as parts of the same public argument.

Superb, handsome copy in custom binding of the first English novel translated into a continental language (German). Bibliographically cryptic, as this clearly isn't the true first edition, but rather a late 19th century facsimile that some sources date at 1874. Francis Kirkman is given as the publisher for the 1671 second volume, the 1674 third volume and 1680 fourth volume -- all of which Head denied any association with, claiming the first volume only as his. The true first edition is rare and this later facsimile also scarce.

Description
San Francisco: The Lantern Press [printed by the Grabhorn Press], 1927. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Plus. Angelo, Valenti. No. 203 of 500, quarto size, 29 pp. "For Whispers & Chants" is a collection of poems by influential Los Angeles bookseller and poet Jake Zeitlin (1902-1987), who worked as a rare books dealer for sixty years, co-founded the Rounce & Coffin Club, and started his own fine press, the Primavera Press. The poems whisper of the southwest, and indeed, the volume is dedicated "To Texas, great treasure-cache of poems and legends". Zeitlin had, at the time of this publication, seen himself as a poet, in the tradition of Carl Sandburg and Robert Frost; this volume "was greeted in Los Angeles as the harbinger of a poetic career about to skyrocket" (n.b., Starr, "Material Dreams", see below). This publication by the Grabhorn Press was listed as one of the Fifty Books of the year, and includes a frontispiece by Valenti Angelo (1897-1982), a highly regarded designer, illuminator, and decorator of books over a career that spanned decades, doing much of his early work for the Grabhorn Press and the Book Club of California. ___DESCRIPTION: Full yellow paper, red lettering and decoration inside blue ruled borders on the front board, brown lettering on the spine, fore- and bottom edges uncut, coloured frontispiece by Valenti Angelo, title page with printer's device; Goudy Modern type, Ingres paper, quarto size (10.25" by 6.75"), pagination: [i-viii] [1] 2-20 [1 colophon], one of 500 copies, this number 203. ___CONDITION: Volume is very good plus, with a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; light soiling to the boards, some minute rubbing to the corners, the head and tail of the spine, the paper covering along the front joint just beginning to crack, and with some off-setting to the endpapers. ___CITATION: Grabhorn Press Bibliography, no. 96; Kevin Starr, "Material Dreams, Southern California Through the 1920s", p. 326. ___POSTAGE:  International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
