Title: LES GRAFFITI DE LA RUE D'AUXONNE
Author: Foucart, Jacque
Seller: Brian Cassidy Bookseller at Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Near fine.
Description: Dijon: Imprimerie Jobard, 1946. Near fine.. First edition of this rare work forging an early link between graffiti and politics. Jacques Foucart-Borville (1912-2005) was just a young magistrate when he wrote this slender account of the political graffiti of Resistance prisoners under Vichy at the Rue D'Auxonne prison in Dijon. Recognizing the essential ephemerality of these wall writings, Foucart penned and published LES GRAFFITI in the immediate aftermath of The Liberation, dedicating the book in part to his grandfather, who was imprisoned during "The Terror" for hiding a parish priest. Foucart organizes the book by types of prisoners, transcribing the graffiti and attributing it when possible to particular prisoners - often with biographical details. Reprinted in 1966 as LES GRAFFITI DE LA RUE D'AUXONNE: Prison de Dijon, OCLC finds just five copies of this first edition, all in France. (We've also handled a copy in brown wraps, otherwise identical, no known priority.) As Foucart argues near the end of this book, these prisoners often died "...pour nous transmettre un message de trois mots: 'Foi, Patrie, Espérance'" ("...to send us a message of just three words: 'Faith, Fatherland, Hope'"). 8.25'' x 5.25''. Original stapled green printed wrappers. 60 pages. Text in French. Mild toning to extremities of wrapper, with some edgewear and mild soil. Else clean and sound.

Title: A Child's Christmas in Wales
Author: Thomas, Dylan
Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Norfolk: New Directions, 1954 First edition, first printing. Publisher's cream paper boards, lettered in red and black; in the original matching dust jacket. Near fine book, with very minimal bumping to top corners, light offsetting to endpapers, some spotting to edges of text block, and Paul Elder's Books bookseller ticket to recto of rear free endpaper; near fine unclipped dust jacket, with a 1-inch closed tear to top right corner of front panel, a touch of toning to edges, and some soiling to rear panel. Overall, a charming copy, much nicer than usual. In A Child's Christmas in Wales, an adult nostalgically looks back at the Christmases he experienced as a child, back when "one Christmas was so much like another." Among the sights and sounds that the narrator recounts are specific anecdotes, like when firemen came to his friend Jim's house on Christmas Eve. The prose piece, one of Dylan Thomas' most beloved works, came out of two earlier works of his - a 1945 BBC radio piece and a 1947 article titled "Conversation about Christmas" for Picture Post magazine. In 1950, Thomas combined these two into "A Child's Christmas in Wales," published in Harper's Bazaar magazine. In 1952, he made a voice recording of the piece for the B-side of a Caedmon LP. Thomas passed away just one year later. The recording of the work was extremely popular and has been "credited with launching the audiobook industry in the United States." . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Dust Jacket Included.
