Description
[New York]: Marvel Comics, 1976 Penciled by Dave Cockrum. Inks by Frank Chiaramonte. First edition, first printing. Publisher's pictorial wrappers, with a colorful illustration by Dave Cockrum of the Phoenix Force emerging from the water, with Cyclops, Storm, and Nightcrawler also pictured to front panel, lettered in yellow, red, and white, and Spalding advertisement to rear wrapper. Encased in a CGC slab, with a grade of 9.0 and the only condition note being "White pages." Fine, with bright and clean wrappers. Overall, a standout copy of this notable X-Men installment. X-Men #101 ("Like a Phoenix, from the Ashes") features the first appearance of Jean Grey's supremely powerful alter ego, Phoenix. In the story, Jean Grey is piloting the X-Men's space shuttle back to earth when a deadly solar flare causes her to attempt an emergency landing in NYC. The shuttle crashes into Jamaica Bay, and Jean Grey emerges from the water in a new outfit, declaring, "Hear me, X-Men! No longer am I the woman you knew! I am fire! And life incarnate! Now and forever - I am PHOENIX!" Additionally, this is the first X-Men comic in which Wolverine acknowledges having romantic feelings for Jean Grey - an important throughline in the series. . First Edition. Original Wrappers. Fine.

Very Good
Description
London: William Heinemann, 1892. Hardcover. Very Good. Hardcover. Scarce First Edition published posthumously. It includes a biographical sketch of Balestier written by Henry James. Wolcott Balestier was born in 1861 and died at the very young age of 30 in 1891 from Typhoid fever. Despite his brief career he became known in literary circles, in part because of his close association with Rudyard Kipling, who married Balestier's sister in 1892. Bound in the original light blue cloth with a feather design to front cover and spine. Spine is faded and there is light bumping and handling to covers, otherwise in nice condition. There is slight cracking to front hinge and cracking along some of the signatures, but the binding is tight. There is offsetting to the front and rear end pages and intermittent light foxing. The book plate of a previous owner, Chauncey Brewster Tinker has also caused a round offset to the facing end page. Tinker was a professer at Yale and a leading Boswell scholar. A previous owner or book dealer has a penciled note on the front pastedown that there were 2000 copies of this book printed, of which 620 were pulped. 188 pages plus 8 pages of ads. LIT/072109.

Near Fine
Description
New York: The Film Library of the Museum of Modern Art. Near Fine. (c.1962). First Edition. Stapled wraps. [nice copy, minor external soiling only, old price sticker adhered to inside front cover]. (B&W photographs) Published in conjunction with the first major American retrospective of Hawks's films, this very scarce 38-page monograph -- primarily a filmography with excerpted comments from an interview with Hawks conducted by Bogdanovich -- was the first publication (in English) to indicate that the director might be taken seriously as a film artist. This must have seemed, to many, quite an outrageous notion, given that Hawks's then-current film was the superficially trivial HATARI! -- which, whatever its virtues, was hardly the sort of work that would encourage the critical world to take you seriously. This was the second of three ground- breaking critical monographs authored by Bogdanovich for MoMA retrospectives in the early 1960s, sandwiched between those devoted to Orson Welles (1961) and Alfred Hitchcock (1963). .
