Description
[Buffalo, 1937. Very good.. Photo-illustrated broadside, approximately 12 x 9 inches. Tanned, darker around the edges, with minor creasing. Small manuscript note at bottom, reading "Buffalo, 1937." A striking and seemingly unrecorded broadside advertising a speech by James W. Ford, the "Outstanding Negro Leader - twice Vice Presidential candidate of the Communist Party - Just returned from Spain and Ethiopia." Ford's quarter-length portrait adorns the top left of the broadside. The broadside was published by the John Brown Branch of the Communist Party, and printed in Buffalo, evidenced by the Buffalo Allied Printing Trades Council seal at the bottom center. Ford's speech took place at Kaisers Hall on October 26, 1937. By the time of this speech, Ford had indeed run twice as the Communist Party's candidate for vice president, and he would do so again in 1940. James W. Ford (1893-1957) was born in Alabama and graduated from Fisk University in Nashville. He served in France during the First World War, afterwards settling in Chicago where he became a union leader and a notable member of the Communist Party. Ford rose quickly through the labor and Communist ranks, becoming a section organizer in Harlem in 1933. While there, Ford helped found the National Negro Congress, assisted in numerous local political campaigns, provided for the defense of the Scottsboro Boys in the state of his birth, and helped organize protests against employment and housing discrimination, all while continuing to work as a champion of organized labor and the Communist Party.

New York: The Macaulay Company, 1923. Very Good. New York: The Macaulay Company, 1923. First Edition, Second State without "he said" on frontis. Octavo; 320pp. Illustrated frontis. Publisher's rough, horizontal-weave red cloth with green lettering and design. Missing dust jacket. Boards bumped at spine ends and lightly rubbed at corners, with dulling to lettering and some general smudging to surface. Top corner of front free endpaper torn away and math problem solved on verso of final blank, else pages unmarked. Opens easily between gatherings but binding is secure. Zeuschner notes a rather acrobatic history of attempts to establish priority with this edition. As of his 2016 bibliography, copies with the rough, horizontally-woven cloth binding and additional "he said" text on the frontis have priority, matching a pre-publication review copy found in 2004. Copies such as this, identical apart from the "he said" omission, are given tenuous secondary priority, with the acknowledgement that a pre-publication copy with this variant frontis could easily also appear, thus giving the variants equal weight. [Zeuschner (1996) 164-165 & (2016) p. 102-104].

Slightly leaned, some pale staining to wrappers
Description
Chicago: Big Table Inc, 1959. Slightly leaned, some pale staining to wrappers. 8vo. Original printed wrappers. First edition of this infamous first issue of Big Table – founded after editors Irving Rosenthal and Paul Carroll resigned from The Chicago Review in protest to harsh criticisms of their printing portions of the then-unpublished novel Naked Lunch by William S. Burrough. This first issue of Big Table, founded in the wake of this episode, was impounded by the U.S. Post Office. A court trial resulted in its favor, and the journal continued through another 5 issues. Rosenthal's novel Sheeper is a classic of the era, and one of the great minor novels of American literature. See Clay & Phillips, A Secret Location on the Lower East Side, p. 45.
