Octavo, original black paper boards, original dust jacket. $3000.First trade edition of McCarthy's ""harrowing, propulsive drama… about a stone-cold killer, a small-town sheriff, and an average Joe"" (New York Times), basis for the Coen brothers' Oscar-winning film, signed on the publisher's tipped-in leaf by McCarthy.""Cormac McCarthy has said, in interviews, that there is 'no such thing as life without bloodshed,' and that the novelist's proper occupation is with death. His work gives eloquent witness to this vision… McCarthy is a colossally gifted writer"" (New Yorker). No Country for Old Men affirms this in his electrifying tale ""about a stone-cold killer, a small-town sheriff and an average Joe who stumbles across a leather case filled with more than $2 million in hot drug money… McCarthy turns the elaborate cat-and-mouse game… into harrowing, propulsive drama, cutting from one frightening, violent set piece to another with cinematic economy and precision"" (New York Times). Basis for the Coen brothers' 2007 film with Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, and Javier Bardem that won four Oscars, including Best Picture. Preceded by two signed limited editions: a leather-bound edition of 75 copies and a half-leather edition of 325 copies. ""First Edition"" on copyright page. Fine condition.

Description
London & New York: Macmillan and Co., 1896. FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. Original publisher’s cloth with the author and title in black on the front cover, edge of back cover just starting to fray; overall a wonderful copy with the bookplate of J. Steele, Coldstream Guards on the pastedown. First edition, first issue of Carroll’s early work of logic with the introduction dated January 1896. Intended to supply “for a most interesting mental recreation,” this work anticipates his later Game of logic (1897), and introduces his inventive use of square Venn diagrams to represent original syllogisms. The first section “is a serious attempt to popularize formal logic and accuracy of thought . . . there are plenty of quaint examples, answers and solutions” (Williams, Madan, Green). The appendix is addressed to teachers, and offers a preview of the second and third parts, which were never completed. Dodgson (1832-98), who was appointed lecturer in mathematics at Christ Church College from 1855 to 1881, strictly published what he considered recreational works in logic and literature under his pseudonym. DNB, XXII, p. 567-69; Watson, New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature, III, pp. 977-79; Williams, Madan, Green, 270.

Tokyo: Nippon Renmi -- Nippon Kogyu Bu, 1930. Very good.. [2],9pp. Original printed wrappers. Minor wear and dust-soiling. An unrecorded pamphlet printing the text of a speech delivered to the Japanese Industrial Club by the Japanese Ambassador to Brazil. The title of the speech is translated as Back from Brazil or Returning from Brazil, and concentrates on Ariyoshi's experiences after spending three years in South America, with particular attention paid to Japanese immigration and potential investment. During the course of his speech, Ariyoshi touches on the industrial resources of Brazil, German and Italian influence in the country, recent struggles by the coffee industry, foreign investment in Brazil (specifically mentioning the Rothschild family), and more. He concludes by calling for continued Japanese immigration and additional capital investment by Japanese business interests in Brazil. No copies in OCLC, though a 1939 work by Setsuzo Sawada is listed under the same title.

Issue no. 1 of a nudist magazine consisting substantially of plates reproducing artsy black-and-white photos of muscular young White men taking sporty poses solo, in pairs and in one shot in a group of three — all in natural settings. Two photos feature a man and a woman.International Nudist Sun is the U.S. edition of a Danish magazine, International Men, produced by Nordisk Bladcentral, with the first page of the former indicating "Copyright 1964 by N.B., Copenhagen" and with both identified as printed by the same firm in Denmark.Exclusively publishing male nudes was unusual for conventional nudist magazines of the era — and even more so for nudist periodicals distributed in the U.S. As with other Nordisk Bladcentral titles, the scarcely coded target market of the magazine is homosexual men.CONDITION: Wraps somewhat worn; price overprinted in black on front wrap; rubbing along spine fold; small dent to outside upper corner; diagonal crease (6 cm) to outside lower corner of front wrap and initial leaves.NOTE: Photo masked for public posting. Unmasked photo upon request.

Description
New York: Scribner, 2018. First Scribner hardcover edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in dust jacket. Colm Tóibín begins his incisive, revelatory Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know with a walk through the Dublin streets where he went to university—a wide-eyed boy from the country—and where three Irish literary giants also came of age. Oscar Wilde, writing about his relationship with his father, William Wilde, stated: “Whenever there is hatred between two people there is bond or brotherhood of some kind…you loathed each other not because you were so different but because you were so alike.” W.B. Yeats wrote of his father, John Butler Yeats, a painter: “It is this infirmity of will which has prevented him from finishing his pictures. The qualities I think necessary to success in art or life seemed to him egotism.” John Stanislaus Joyce, James’s father, was perhaps the most quintessentially Irish, widely loved, garrulous, a singer, and drinker with a volatile temper, who drove his son from Ireland. Elegant, profound, and riveting, Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know illuminates not only the complex relationships between three of the greatest writers in the English language and their fathers, but also illustrates the surprising ways these men surface in their work. Through these stories of fathers and sons, Tóibín recounts the resistance to English cultural domination, the birth of modern Irish cultural identity, and the extraordinary contributions of these complex and masterful authors. Illustrated.
