Description
Venice: Lucio Spineda, 1628. SOLE EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Contemporary limp vellum in fine condition (paste-down torn). The text is in excellent condition with a few instances of light toning (in gatherings O, S, and X), and a small worm-track in the margin of the first few lvs. The text is illustrated with woodcut diagrams. An extremely rare book. OCLC cites only 1 copy in North America (Columbia University) and 5 other institutional copies outside of Italy (two in Denmark, two in France, one in Switzerland). Vagnetti described the book without having seen a copy. Riccardi described an incomplete copy. First (and only) edition of this wide-ranging work on selected problems in perspective and its underlying geometry, largely organized around what the author considers to be commonly found theoretical or practical errors. Diano proves himself to be well read in the contemporary literature of optics and perspective, citing Kepler, Maurolico, Aguilon, and others. The final two chapters describe perspective instruments of the variety used by Dürer. Ferdinando di Diano (born around 1571) was an Italian mathematician, philosopher, and theologian, author of some fifteen texts on various subjects, including the natural sciences. In "The Eye, Wandering from Reason, Emended. Perspective"(1628), Diano distinguishes between 'perspectiva naturalis' (physiological optics) and 'perspectiva artificialis' (the graphic method that allows the rationalization of space). Diano considers human perception via 'perspectiva naturalis' to be fallible; one cannot be sure what one perceives visually is true or merely a 'deception of the mind'. That is, the observer does not know if the images that reach the retina are altered in some way by the mind. By contrast, through 'perspectiva artificalis' (using optical and measuring tools to "construct" an accurate perspective view), the individual can affirm the reliability of one's senses. It is this enhancement of the ability of men to thwart the illusions of visual perception that is at the heart of the "The Eye, Wandering from Reason, Emended. Perspective." In Diano's views, it is the ability to distinguish our perception from reality that distinguishes the soul of rational people from those of madmen and beasts.

Just About Fine
Description
Franfilmdis. No binding. Just About Fine. [Paris]: Franfilmdis, [1946]. Set of three (3) vintage original French 9 1/2 x 11 3/4" (24 x 30 cm.) double weight black-and-white print still photos, just about fine. Director Jean Vigo's featurette from 1933. He previously had only made the short À PROPOS DE NICE. After this film, he directed the feature L'ATALANTE. He died young shortly after that film was completed, and his death was a tragic loss to world cinema. ZÉRO DE CONDUITE is very much the creation of a young person -- a film of rough, anarchistic, explosive energy. Shortly after the film premiered in Paris in 1933, the censors banned it. No original advertising paper from 1933 has ever surfaced.This 1946 general release, for all intents and purposes, must be regarded as the original release. And although posters for it from 1946 do turn up, photos almost never do.

Description
New York: Siegel-Cooper Company, c. 1896. Pale gray cloth, stamped in green. Good. 245 pages. 19.5 x 13.5 cm. Recipes attributed to prominent cookbook authors of the time. Interspersed within the recipes are literary quotes and excerpts. Henry Siegel and Frank Cooper were running a highly successful department store in Chicago during the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition when they envisioned a larger store in New York City. This colossal, steel-framed, Beaux-Arts style structure,was designed by DeLemos & Cordes and at the time it was built it was the largest store in the world. This cookbook features many recipes that were fashionable at the time, but a couple recipes stand out, including a recipes for Opossum, Fricassee of Squirrels (using two squirrels), and how "To Cook a Deer's Head in Camp." Covers worn, internal pages toned, lacking a leaf between title page and preface.

Description
Ludington, MI: The Carrom Company, 1919. First Edition. Very good. First edition presumed, n. d. (ca 1919); 6 x 3 1/2; pp. 1-40; pictorial, off-white wraps; illustrated with drawings and several photographic images; mild age-toning and wear, with a few very minor spots to wraps; very good condition. The Ludington Novelty Company was founded in 1889 by Sunday School teacher Henry L. Haskell. He invented a game - Carroms - with a patented playing board, each one of which was manufactured by hand and was sold before another one was started. In 1902, the Ludington Novelty was merged with another game-manufacturing company with patented playing boards - Illinois-based Archarena Company - and in 1912, the Carrom-Archarena Company became the Carrom Company. The current booklet explained the rules for the various games played on Carrom boards, including Spinette, Ten-Pin Top Game, Crokinola, Travelling Carroms, and many more. It also supplied a price list for extra parts for combination game boards, as well as for matching game table and chairs and for a doll house.
