Title: C-S The Master Craftsman
Author: [Adagio Press] Strouse, Norman H. and John Dreyfus
Seller: The Kelmscott Bookshop (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Harpers Woods, MI: The Adagio Press, 1969. Hardcover. Fine. Hardcover. INTERESTING ASSOCIATION COPY WITH RELATED MATERIAL LAID IN. This beautiful copy is inscribed by author John Dreyfus to noted Chicago book collector and philanthropist Samuel R. Rosenthal, "for Sam R Rosenthal after a splendid evening John Dreyfus 16 December 1978 Chicago." Rosenthal and his wife, Marie-Louise, had a pre-eminent book collection that concentrated on livres d'artistes, illustrated books, and private press. This is 39 of 75 folio copies issued with one vellum leaf and one handmade paper leaf laid in from books printed at the Doves Press. There were 329 copies originally printed of this Adagio Press edition (although fewer than 180 were offered for sale), each with two Doves Press leaves: 12 with both Doves Press leaves printed on vellum; 75 with one leaf on vellum and the second on handmade paper; and 242 with both leaves printed on handmade paper. This copy has an octavo vellum leaf from Goethe's "Faust," issued in 1906, and a folio double leaf on paper with Leviticus 16-22 from the famed Dove's Bible. The Adagio Press was founded in the late 1950s by Leonard Bahr, who signed the colophon. In Roderick Cave's The Private Press, second edition, he cites the Bible as the most substantial title printed by the press. In 1970, Strouse had sent two letters to Rosenthal, included with this copy, offering C-S The Master Craftsman. Strouse said that he would make Rosenthal's copy "a little special" by putting in a double leaf from the Bible. Two letters dated 1978 are laid in from Dreyfus to Rosenthal and his wife. These letters and the 1978 inscription indicate that he got to know Rosenthal around this time. In one letter, Dreyfus expresses his appreciation for their expressions of sympathy over the tragic death of his son. There are a few handwritten additions to the text of Dreyfus's essay in this copy, which may have added when he inscribed the book, but this is conjecture. The book is hand sewn and bound in quarter vellum with Cockerell marbled paper covered boards and gilt title to spine. It is printed in red and black Palatino Roman and Pascal types on handmade Tovil paper. In addition to the Doves Press leaves, laid in are the prospectus, a mounted photograph of Cobden-Sanderson with Emery Walker developed from the original negative, a smaller copy of the photo, and a pamphlet issued in 1971 titled "A Letter from Stella." This pamphlet reprints the text of the last letter written by Cobden-Sanderson to his daughter, Stella, a few hours before he died, with an introduction by Strouse. [54 pages.] PRI/042309.

Title: (Photo albums): Maine. Circa 1907-1912. Two volumes
Seller: Between the Covers- Rare Books, Inc. ABAA (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: Hardcover. Good. Two commercially produced blank volumes (Gilson Adjustable Album; 1897). Oblong small thick quartos. String-tied uniformly bound on thick cloth boards with "Photographs" in gilt on top boards. Boards stained and mottled but sound and near good; images are mostly near fine with a little silvering at the edges of a few, some modest fading, and some waviness. The two volumes contain 168 larger format images (plus two additionally laid in) each measuring approximately 6.5" x 4.25" inserted into the albums card frames. Many of them are captioned in the negative with dates ranging from 1907-1912, but it seems there could be some images both earlier and later. After a few images of a college graduation, possibly at Princeton, and a few images in Weehawken, New Jersey (including one at the Alexander Hamilton Monument), the vast majority seem to be of a family living or vacationing in Maine which shows various towns and other places including Portland, Lake Webb in Weld, New Vineyard Basin, West Mills, a country fair at Philips, Old Orchard Beach after a fire, Temple, Redington, Wilton Notch, Clear Water Pond, Rangeley Lakes, and Lake Welokennabacook. Additionally there are a few photos taken in Concord and Boston, Massachusetts. Other than bucolic scenery in both summer and in snowy winter, there are several images of trotting horses racing, of women shooting rifles in Farmington, several slightly awkwardly staged portraits of people who were likely family members of the photographer, and a few images near the end of the Half Moon and many other ships the Naval Parade in the Hudson-Fulton Celebration in New York in 1909. Interesting by an enthusiastic amateur, in larger than usual sizes.

Title: Congaree Sketches [Inscribed to Annabel Morris Buchanan]
Author: ADAMS, E.C.L. [Edward Clarkson Leverett]; Paul Green (introd)
Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description: Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1927. First Edition. First printing. Inscribed on front endpaper: "Mrs. Annabel Morris Buchanan from the author with sincere good wishes," signed "Ned Adams," datemarked Columbia, SC, 1934. Small octavo (20cm). Black cloth spine over orange-tan cloth-covered boards (hardcover); dustjacket (in pieces) laid-in; xvii,117pp. A tight, clean copy, tightly bound and textually unmarked; Very Good or better. The jacket, completely disarticulated but substantially complete, is laid-in in four pieces. Adams' well-received first book, a collection of dialect stories set among the African-American residents of the Congaree River region of South Carolina. Like pretty much all work in this mode, best intentions aside, Adams's stories are deeply problematic: his use of dialect is cringeworthy to a sensitive modern reader, but in his time and place Adams was an oddity - a well-to-do white physician from an old South Carolina family who was genuinely sympathetic to the plight of southern Blacks, and was heralded by Americans of both European and African descent as a champion of Southern folk culture and civil rights. This copy with an interesting association: presented by the author to Virginia folklorist Annabel Morris Buchanan, founder of the seminal White Top Music Festival in Southwest Virginia which, though it spanned only a decade (1931-1939) was a memorable and important early attempt to recognize and preserve southern Appalachian folk culture. The association - between two "advanced" thinkers whose approaches to cultural preservation (in two separate but oddly interlinked realms), though inarguably well-meaning, might now be looked upon as anachronistic - strikes us as a fruitful starting point for inquiry.

Description: Los Angeles: The Ward Ritchie Press, 1954. Pamphlet. 26p., illustrated with a frontis facsimile of a surviving title page, the reprint in hand is softbound, an 8x5.5 inch pamphlet in blue-grey wraps, staple-fastened. Front cover has mild pressure-lines, both covers have a hint of sunning, an otherwise excellent exemplar: sound, clean, unmarked. Many remedies offered make sense to us herbalist new-agers, but here's an exception: for "Erysipelas. Sprinkle the face with the fresh blood of a black hen and tie to the neck a twig of broom. Tried and tested." Jose de La Rosa was the probable pressman responsible for this Sonoma production. The author, a Spaniard, is unknown. La Rosa's dedicatee would be general Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, who preserved Zamorano's press, first located on the Monterey Peninsula, until it was again confiscated by a hostile Mexican government.
