Title: The Memoirs of Ruth Anne Fairchild Espoir 1958
Author: Switzer, Larry Jay
Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: New York: Parlor Press Book, 1981. First Edition. Hardcover. Leatherette. Velvet dust jacket. Fine/Fine. Ruth Anne Fairchild. No. 9 of 50 copies. A wonderful and peculiar "Artist's Book", self-published, or so it would appear, by an author, artist, graphic designer who playfully suffuses his work with misdirection. Indeed, misdirection is at the heart of the work, for although "Memoirs" form part of the title, this isn't a true memoir for Ruth Anne Fairchild, since Ruth Anne Fairchild is a fictional creation of the author. 4to. 29 by 22 cm. Unpaginated, 91 leaves, by our count, including a few blank leaves and leaves that are a fraction of the full height of the book, with deliberately jagged edges, meant to look like they were torn. Most of the leaves are on fairly thick copier paper, but there are also exceptions -- one leaf on a tissue guard-like paper, one, a translucent colored mylar. The book has no shortage of physical novelties and gimmicks -- an actual teabag on its felt dust jacket, but one with doodles on it, filled with pink paper, suspended by red felt ribbon; a loose die-cut hand; etc. The author draws obvious inspiration from "Alice in Wonderland" and its tea party; characters from the classic appear throughout the work. He also is riffing about a whole shebang of things, such as Southern dainty propriety, a lace curtain gentility, that crested in the 1950s, and he parodies the fictional presentations of it. His targets are many, and the book reminds us of a comedy skit that is free associative, a bit scattershot, and fast paced. Ostensibly depicting the fifties, it is also very much a product of its iconoclastic, cynical times. There are no copies listed on OCLC First Search at the time of this description.

Agro. "Pilot Issue" Dec. 1969 (all published) by London Street Commune

Title: Agro. "Pilot Issue" Dec. 1969 (all published)
Author: London Street Commune
Seller: Arthur Fournier Fine & Rare (United States)
Description: Folded poster-pamphlet with texts and images printed in black ink on cream paper stock, opens to large color poster on verso. 4to [opens to 17.5 x 22.5 in] Near fine ; old central crease. Loose folded sheet. [1319] A delightfully riotous publication with texts attributed to former King Mob member Phil Cohen and associates in the London Streeet Commune. The poster illustration on the pamphlet's verso depicts a youth with a huge erection being sentenced to correction bu authorities at a "Penal Institution." Our expert source informs us that Agro was printed in an attempt to organize London's hippie, greaser, and skinhead youth cultures to work together against ruling class oppression, rather than antagonize one another. "At the end of 1969 the pilot – and only! – issue of Agro tried to mobilize the skinhead opinion. The paper ('printed by the Gutter Press'), bore the stamp of the [London Street] Commune and most of it in fact consisted of an abridged version of 'Project Free London', a small booklet to which I shall refer again. An editorial claimed that Agro would be produced and distributed, not from an office, but through an informal network of 'skinheads, greasers, heads; in pubs, caffs, clubs and on the streets'. The Commune was worried because skinheads and greasers had mobilized against each other instead of against straight society, and they saw Agro as a way of combining forces as a 'single subcultural front.'" Extremely rare. We can find no copies in OCLC or online.ref.https://standupandspit.wordpress.com/2019/11/19/agro/ https://www.wussu.com/squatting/144_piccadilly_supercrew.htm

Title: THE INDUSTRY OF THE SOUTH: ITS IMMEDIATE ORGANIZATION INDISPENSABLE TO THE FINANCIAL SECURITY OF THE COUNTRY. A SPEECH DELIVERED BEFORE THE BOSTON BOARD OF TRADE, NOVEMBER 27TH, 1865
Author: Tobey, Edward S.
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: Boston, 1865. Original printed wrappers, disbound [loosened, spine shorn], 15pp, blindstamp on title page. Else Very Good. A very early plan to invest northern capital-- in partnership with government-- in the Reconstruction of the South. "Nearly the same working population which raised the five millions of bales of cotton and other products in 1860, is now there to plant and raise the crops of 1866." As capital will not enter areas "where society is disorganized and life and property comparatively unprotected," only government can overcome "this deficiency in capital and the protection and organization of labor." Complete with resolutions unanimously adopted by the Boston Board of Trade. FIRST EDITION. LCP 10313. Not in Sabin, Bartlett.
