Very Good
Description
Los Angeles: Leonard-Freefield Co, 1949. First Edition. Very Good. First edition, first printing. Signed by George Adamski on the front free end paper, and dated "May 24--51". Bound in publisher's original blue cloth stamped in gilt, lacking the scarce dust jacket. Very Good with soiling, light bubbling and wear to cloth, dulling to gilt lettering. Endsheets offset from binder's glue and small price written beneath Adamski's inscription, binding error to rear free endpaper. A very rare Adamski title, ghost-written for him by his secretary, Lucy McGinnis. Critics would later draw similarities between this early work of science fiction and his later claims of real-life space travel in inside space ships.

Description
Scranton, PA, 1873. A three-fold business archive that provides the fundamental operational information on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Rail-road line. The archive Includes a majority of the Employee Timetables, Rules & Regulations, Notices and special orders, plus two small broadsides Additionally includes 210 pages of detailed ledger with information on each trip beginning on May 25, 1860 and concluding on February 14, 1861 detailing approximately 7980 train trips. The details include the Number of Cars, Kind of Cars, Where Taken, Description of Load, Destination, Where Left and the name of the Conductor. The timetables, rules and regs and notes are tipped in at the tops of these pages. The first 10 time tables are 1852 and for the Lackawanna and Western Rail-road before the addition of the Delaware line. These forms are partially printed with hand penned information on each train, it's content, the time tables and instructions such as "15 minutes is allowed between Factoryville and Tunkhannock to Breakfast and take Wood & Water". There were nine (9) time tables in that year. The Delaware Line was added in early 1853 and ushered in completely printed timetables and contented on with the numbering scheme thorough 1855 ending with No. 28. The first General Orders (Rules & Regs) where published on May 1, 1854 and provided guidance to employees on wait times, time allowances, etc. These rules were published periodically as changes occurred until April 2, 1860 when they became part of the timetable. As time past the timetables increased in size until they became so large, they started issuing different tables for various parts of the line in 1870. Along the way they went back to printing individual sheets with Rules & Regs. About 1860 special bulletins were issued for small and/or important changes. In 1861 notices were sent re pay decreased due to decreases usage and less demand for coal. In 1875 the Rules and Regs were once again published on the reverse of the regional timetables. Includes 84 timetables and approx. 50 Rules & Regs for employees, notices and broadsides from 1852 - 1873. Ledger measures 13"{ x 8 1/2" A wealth of information on the changes in rail travel from the 1850s - 1870s.

[Marital Property] [Wills and Land Grants] Poulter, Mary and James Danvers
Seller
Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description
[Surrey], 1808. Vellum manuscript measuring 520 x 670mm with text to recto only. Original horizontal and vertical foldlines. Some minor toning to recto and verso. £1 impressed duty stamp and seal of King George III adhered to upper left corner with tin. Married in Southwark Christ Church, Surrey on 27 June, 1808, Mary Poulter and James Danvers previously established through this document their shared property and inheritances in the event that one pre-deceased the other. "As the nineteenth century began, real property owned by a married woman in a legal estate was subject to the management and control of her husband. Personal property of the wife became the property of her husband as soon as he reduced it to possession. Where equity courts existed, separate equitable estated could be created for married women's property, but the protections provided to a wife by the equitable forum had to be specifically delineated in the document creating the estate" (Chused). Even before the Married Women's Property Acts were established, beginning in 1870, there was a movement away from the traditions of coverture and increased attention toward the economic precarity these laws had left women facing. By 1800, women's property ownership had become a more complicated arena. "Studying the ability of women to own property, particularly land, reveals how patriarchal legal and social institutions operated to control and constrain women through economic means. Yet such constraints and controls are only part of the story. Also significant are the ways that system and its players made land ownership and control a reality for some women...the analysis of probate documents reveal that not insignificant numbers of 'ordinary' women did inherit and bequeath both real estate and chattel goods...even more expectedly, many of these women retained control of property during their marriages" (Crosswhite). The present document invites this kind of study. Dated 62 years before the first Married Women's Property Act of 1870 allowed married women to retain ownership of earned and inherited property, the agreement between James Danvers and "Mary Poulter his intended wife" sets out the parameters of inheritance in advance of their union. While all property would revert to James and his heirs and assigns in the event of Mary's death -- something easily established within the document's first line -- the remainder of the document outlines the leases and rents due to Mary in the event of James' death. Further research could be conducted to determine the economic and class situations of the Danvers and Poulter families relative to each other and to their wider community. The terms of their agreement could further be compared to similar property documents of the predating or contemporary to this, as well as how the terms compare to later agreements following the 1870 Married Women's Property Law. While the women's movement had yet to establish legal protections for people like Mary Poulter, property laws in the U.S. had already begun shifting at the turn of the century. In these sense, trans-Atlantic comparison could also be beneficial, in considering whether or to what extent Mary Poulter's property ownership, income, or terms were influenced by negotiations happening in the United States.

23 black & white illus. 239 pp. 12mo (169 x 120 mm.), gold geometric covers. Berlin: Merve Verlag, 1981. First printing of this essential Harald Szeemann (1933-2005) anthology. Later printings can be identified by the lack of a price on the upper cover. “In the summer of 1980, [Peter] Gente travelled on short notice to Ascona, where Szeemann had taken up residence during his research for the exhibition because he found the magnetic anomalies personally stimulating. Szeemann readily agreed to publish a book of collected occasional texts, supplied his visitor with ‘towers of manuscripts,’ and handed him the house keys, as he was just leaving on travels of his own. The selection Gente made in the course of a week was published as the 100th book in the Internationaler Merve Diskurs series with the title Museum der Obsessionen – ‘Museum of Obsessions.’ The jubilee book with gold rhombus on the cover marked another turning point in Merve’s history. After the year of theory fatigue, new options were opening up in the art world.”–P. Felsch, The Summer of Theory: History of a Rebellion, 1960-1990 (English ed.: 2022), pp. 149-50. Fine copy.

1968. [Feminism][Comics] Wonder Woman No. 179. New York: National Periodical Publications, November-December 1968. First printing. Full-color interior comic panels throughout. Original staple-bound pictorial wrappers with red and orange burst design behind a dramatically reimagined Wonder Woman. A watershed moment in comic book history, this issue marks the beginning of Diana Prince's controversial "powerless" era-one that divided fans and feminist critics alike for decades. It is the first to depict Wonder Woman without her Amazonian powers, recasting her as a martial arts-trained, independent adventurer who relinquishes her costume, her homeland, and her divine gifts to remain in the mortal world and aid those in need. In this issue, titled It's Goodbye to the Past For... The New Wonder Woman!, Diana voluntarily renounces her powers to remain with the exiled Steve Trevor, accused of treason. The decision signifies a pivotal identity shift: Wonder Woman trades mythological might for mortal resilience, training in hand-to-hand combat under a mysterious Asian mentor after a terrorist attack by agents of the villainous Dr. Cyber. Far from diminishing her stature, Diana's transition redefines heroism: her courage, loyalty, and self-discipline emerge as her greatest strengths, not her divine birthright. Panels emphasize Diana's tenacity-grinding rice to toughen her hands, sparring in martial arts, and confronting espionage and militarism head-on. Visually and narratively, this issue underscores her feminist evolution into a modern heroine who triumphs through intellect, moral clarity, and physical training, not just superhuman power. Light wear to spine, interior vibrant and clear. Binding tight. Overall very good condition. This landmark issue-marking the beginning of the "mod era" Wonder Woman, a key evolution of feminist representation in superhero narratives.
