Very good.
Description
Los Angeles, 1963. Very good.. 173,20pp., plus five plates. Original pictorial cloth boards, lettered in black and white. Boards slightly bowed, with minor wear and rubbing. Light toning internally. A scarce directory of members of the Hiroshima Prefecture Society (Kenjinkai) of Southern California, with a printed introduction and information about the group. Kenjinkai -- prefecture societies -- were influential parts of the Japanese American community, and the Hiroshima group was one of the largest. The entries here are organized by the English last name of the head of household, with names of spouses in parentheses, followed by addresses and phone numbers. The information is repeated in Japanese, with the addition of a notation identifying American-born Nisei. More than 100 businesses advertised in this directory, and the final leaves comprise several photographic plates, mostly captioned group portraits of society members. OCLC locates copies at just six institutions.

Near Fine, lacking the dustwrapper
Description
New York & London: John Lane, 1918. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine, lacking the dustwrapper. Anderson's third book and first book of poetry, this copy a superb Association copy INSCRIBED simply "Miss Marietta Finley" and SIGNED "Sherwood Anderson" in green ink on the front endpaper. Anderson met unmarried, 24-year old "Babs" Finley at the Art. Institute of Chicago in the autumn of 1914. They were devoted friends and likely lovers. His correspondence of over 300 letters to her was published in the book LETTERS TO BAB: SHERWOOD ANDERSON TO MARIETTA D. FINLEY, 1916-33. Only two letters from her apparently have survived, but it seems that Finley had hoped, early on, for marriage but settled for a friendship that sometimes bordered on abusive. "The world has pretty muddy feet Bab," Anderson wrote to her in 1930. "It doesn't leave a man's house very nice."
