Title: ch'anel
Author: Westerman, Donna Day
Seller: Swan's Fine Books (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Orinda, California: Donna Day Westerman, N.D.. Limited and Signed Edition. Stiff wraps. Fine. Westerman, Donna Day. No. 13 of 20 (book edition; there are another 20 in a fine print edition), tall, thin quarto size, single wood engraving on four folded leaves, signed by the artist. Donna Day Westerman is a printmaker, painter and book artist in the Bay Area of California. [She is] "interested in traditional and historical media — particularly, woodcuts, wood-engravings and egg tempera — used in a contemporary manner. Working from close observation, and occasionally referring to [her] own photographs, [she] conceptually reduce[s] realistic nature to calligraphic or glyph-like notations. A kind of erasure takes place as the visual abundance... is distilled into the essence of the place. Other senses, such as sound and touch often inform the visual... A challenge... has been to capture the powerful ephemeral forms of fog and water in the hard-edged medium of wood... the medium itself determines much of the outcome." (n. b., "Artist's Statement" from the web site of the artist.) The present volume is inspired by a whale skeleton found on Lummi Island, Washington. ___DESCRIPTION: Original handmade paper covered boards heightened in foils, deckled edges, printed title strip laid onto upper board, printed label with author's name inlaid to lower board, backstrip opens so the accordion style format can be displayed in a connected elongated format, single-panel wood engraving printed in black 4" by 20", Optima type, Arches 88 paper, 12"by 4" when closed, five folded leaves including title page and colophon, limited edition, number 13 of 20, signed by Donna Day Westerman. ___CONDITION: A fine copy, no flaws to the paper covers, leaves are bright, rich impression, a fine copy signed and numbered by Donna Day Westerman; acquired by us directly from the Artist, new. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind book we sell.

Title: THAT'S MY MAMA [1974-75] TV photo archive
Author: ABC Television
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: ABC Television. No binding. Near Fine. [New York: ABC-TV, 1974-75]. Set of six vintage original 8 x 10" (20 x 25 cm) and 7 x 9" (18 x 23 cm) black-and-white photos. Most have affixed descriptive text, overall near fine. Set in a middle-class African American neighborhood in Washington, D.C., That's My Mama revolved around the character Clifton Curtis (played by Clifton Davis), a man in his mid-20s who worked as a barber at Oscar's Barber Shop, the family barber shop he inherited from his late father. While Clifton enjoyed being a bachelor, his loving but tart-tongued and opinionated mother Eloise "Mama" Curtis, played by Theresa Merritt, wanted him to settle down and find a nice wife. Additional characters such as Clifton's two best friends -- Earl, played by Teddy Wilson, an easy-going mailman and Junior, played by Ted Lange, a suave and good-humored ladies' man -- came and went over the course of a typical day at Oscar's Barber Shop.
