Description
1935. TOBACCO LABELS. A collection of 1875 labels, boxes, etc. tipped in to 34 notebooks. Small folios, 310 x 225 mm, bound in pail blue paper wrappers labeled 'Dessin' with a woodcut illustration of a hot air balloon flying over a townscape on the front of each. France: ND. [Early 20th century]. A compendium of tobacco related commercial design from the first half of the Twentieth Century. The compiler of these albums has neatly ruled most pages of 34 sketch books in red and black and thoughtfully arranged over 1800 examples of cigar and cigarette labels, cigarette cards, matchbooks, etc. from around the world. The third dimension of what would have been boxes for the labels, has been drawn in by hand for each example, sometimes filled in with colorful gouache or silver ribbon. The imagery on the labels range from exotic locals, architectural scenes, costume, nouveau aesthetics, American Western themes among much else. The collection also includes a large number of cigarette cards from the Algerian company Melia featuring colour tinted photographic glamour shots of women, often seductively posed. In all the there are 471 cigarette packs or cards, 103 cigar packs or boxes, 249 cigar labels, 1032 match boxes and 20 razor blade wrappers. A remarkable, aesthetic assemblage that remains in exceptional condition with just the odd tear and minor discoloration to a some labels.

Description
Salt Lake City, UT: Press and Bindery of Skelton Publishing Company, 1910. Suppressed First Edition. Very good. 222pp. Octavo [21 cm] Green cloth with the title in black on the front board and backstrip. Chief in headdress on the front board in black and yellow. Moderate wear to the boards with minor bumping and rubbing at the corners. Rear endsheet cracked along the hinge. Gentle wear throughout. Suppressed first edition of the beloved story of the life of 'Uncle Nick' and his time in Northern Utah, Southern Idaho, and Western Wyoming. A captivating story of a rugged pioneer and the settlement of the Interior West, this version recounts the story of Wilson's beloved girl, being married off as a polygamous wife of a local LDS leader, while Wilson was sent off on a ruse. According to Flake/Draper: When original edition was in sheets objections were made to the passage from p. 194-222. "When the book was in sheets, ready for binding, objection was made to the passage beginning on page 194. Under pressure I rewrote that part and added 25 pages to the original but had 20 copies bound [actual number may vary but is close to 20] as originally written. These I kept for the members of my family." - Elijah Nicholas Wilson (Journal of Mormon History 33:3 p. 221) "In about two weeks I received a letter from my mother in which she said that I was about to lose my girl, for she was going in second wife to an old man that stood high in the church. I lost no time in writing the young lady, and the next mail brought my letter back to me. I wrote again and sent them both to her, but they came back. I wrote again, and then the letter came back. I then wrote to the mother and enclosed a letter to the girl, and asked mother to give it to the girl herself. Mother gave it to her, but in a few days it came back. Then Mother told me not to write to the girl anymore, for this man was working very hard to injure me in her sight, and it would do no good for me to write to her anymore." -p. 197. Howes W520.

Cream illustrated wraps. Very good
Description
Cambridge, Mass., c. 1971. Staplebound. Cream illustrated wraps. Very good. 8 pages. 28 x 21 cm. This menu likely dates from the final period of Joyce Chens original restaurant at 617 Concord Avenue in Cambridge, before she moved to a larger space. At the back of the menu, Chen notes that the existing dining room had become too small and that guests were sometimes uncomfortable, and she explains that a new building was expected to be completed within a year to better fulfill her vision for the restaurant. The buffet dinner was offered on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., and on Sundays from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., at a cost of $3.00 for adults, $2.00 for children under 10, and $1.00 for children under 5. The offerings were extensive, with sections for appetizers, soups, poultry, beef, pork, seafood, eggs, vegetables, fried rice, Chinese-style soft noodles, chow mein, chop suey, complete American dinners, desserts, and beverages, reflecting the breadth of Chens early menus at 617 Concord Avenue. Covers lightly soiled, interior lightly creased.
