Description
Unique., ca1780. Contemporary half leather over paper covered boards. The paper exhibiting a delicate floral design.. Very good; some cover wear.. Small 4to, 114 pp. appx. 195 x 160 mm. Written in German gothic script on laid paper (no watermark). Although this volume bears the signature of a John Shank and several lines in English establishing his ownership on January 29, 1836, it dates from about 50 years before. It is continental in origin with no record of how Shank came to own it. The opening pages provide recipes for various color inks (including the green used to record one other recipe later in the manuscript). It then moves on to colors. coloring metals, writing on various surfaces, the brazing of non-ferrous metals, etching, etc. At one point the writer addresses the dyeing of vellum and paper and the use of Lapis lazuli - both exotic topics not encountered in American manuscripts. There are occasional miscellaneous recipes recorded, e.g., Dutch gin. The manuscript exhibits little wear or staining and one assumes Shank could not read the exotic text and had it as a keepsake.

Description
Rockport, Maine: Down East Books, 2000. Ephemera no binding. Fine. Kelly Paul BRIGGS. SIGNED by the ARTIST. Original art: 15 ½" x 15 ½" mat size; 5 5/8" x 5 5/8" image size. Original illustration art from Lighthouse Lullaby by mid-coast Maine author and artist Kelly Briggs. The second illustration found in the book on page 6 pictures a mother baking and gazing out the window at her husband and son. "Island home built snug and true / Where the stone hearth's fire glows. / Mama bakes while Papa leaves / To bring the flock in from the snow.". The work is done in the pointillist technique using tiny dots of color to define the space and create an image. This technique was first described by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac in 1886 as part of the Neo-Impressionist movement. This painting along with several others was in an exhibition at the Farnsworth Museum, Rockland, Maine. A charming story of a lighthouse keeper and his family living on a remote Maine island. The author explains, "Island living was not easy, but they took pleasure in simple things that we now sometimes take for granted-a warm bed, a roof over our heads, and someone to love us." Ms. Briggs is a mostly self-taught artist, born and living on the coast of Maine. She is part of the Farnsworth Museum's Arts in Education Teaching Artist in Rockland, Maine. PLEASE NOTE: This does not include a copy of the book, Lighthouse Lullaby.

Description
Garden City NY: Doubleday, Doran & Co. , for the Crime Club. Fair. 1944. First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [ex-lending library book (label and various stamps on front pastedown), heavily worn (especially at bottom corners), hinges tender although not cracked; should be considered a READING COPY only]. Dark suspense yarn set in Havana. Filmed, somewhat, as a B-noir (THE CHASE) in 1946, with uninspired direction (by Arthur Ripley) and Bob Cummings (who was no Bob Mitchum) in the lead. Too bad this copy isn't prettier, but I can't help that. If you're so inclined, you could dress it up with a facsimile dust jacket, and as long as it stayed on the shelf nobody would be the wiser. .
