Condition: small splits in a few folds, two neatly reenforced
Description: (Etiquette Manual) Shogaku Jorei Shikizukai [Elementary Illustrated Etiquette Book for Young Women]. Tokyo: Sonbe Okura, 1880. Composed and pictured by Adachi GINKO (1853-1908). 12mo, 7 inches high; 10 double-page accordion-style binding with vertical printed label on colored pictorial wrappers (small splits in a few folds, a couple neatly mended). First edition. Highly elaborate series of hand-colored woodblock diptych illustrations depicting etiquette lessons at a "finishing" school for young Japanese women. This comprises a series of illustrated "how to" lessons regarding talking with elders, praying, opening doors, conducting a tea ceremony, playing Go, &c. The final illustration shows women receiving their certificates after training is completed. The artist GINKO worked between 1873 and 1908 under several studio names and is best known for his prints in the ukiyo-e style as a member of the Utagawa school. Working in a variety of genres, he often depicted beautiful women and actors, landscapes, book illustrations, and contemporary events. In 1889 he was jailed and fined for satirically depicting Emperor Meiji as a skeleton.

Title: [Autograph Letter, Signed, by J.H. Kent of Richmond, Arkansas to Dr. John Jobe of Ringold, Arkansas Concerning Local Reconstruction Politics and Widespread Lawlessness in the State]
Author: [Arkansas]. [Reconstruction]. Kent, J.H.
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Richmond, Arkansas: July 18, 1866. Very good.. [4]pp., closely written on a single folded quarto sheet of blue-lined paper, totaling approximately 1,800 words. Old folds, minor wear and light soiling. An informative correspondence from an Arkansas citizen to another in the year after the Civil War ended. The writer, J.H. Kent of Richmond, Arkansas writes to Dr. John Jobe in Ringold, detailing the candidates in a political race and reporting on recent lawless activities by local criminals. Regarding the political candidates, Kent writes: "I have not heard from you since i left you at Ringold -- nothing very new nor strange. The candidates for representatives addressed the citizens of this place on the 16 inst. (to wit) A. D. Hawkins, H. W. Bizzell, Dr. Sicell and Wm. Holeman. Bizzell is in favor of having a law passed to 'wipe' out all debts contracted prior and during the war -- as a matter of course such a law he advocates is unconstitutional and would not pass any body of sensible men. I dislike very much to support a man entertaining such views but as he is advocating a division of the Co[unty]. I think it my duty to vote for him. I have some fears that Holeman's coming out will defeat them both. He was brought out for that purpose by W. R. Brown and Wm. McKean as a tool for that avowed purpose, though Holeman is acting in good faith, and i have no idea he has ever anticipated their motives." Kent also comments on the recent lawlessness in the area: "There is a perfect band of thieves in this country carrying it on to perfection. Murdering, robbing and stealing, Goldburg was murdered near Coulter's in this Co for his money not long since. He was selling goods at Paraclifta. He was killed between Clifton & Washington. The assassins have never been caught, there was two of them. Roshell was robbed the other night of eight hundred dollars & three horses. Horse stealing is very common. Morgan Williams has been arrested and lodged in jail for the Guld murder. I could tell you a great deal if i could see you. It is really dangerous for a man to travel if it is known he has money. I think there are a plenty of men in the country that would take a man's life for fifty dollars...." Kent also reports to Jobe about various "claims" upon a number of local citizens, as well as the state of local cotton production and the market for the crop: "The prospect for a cotton crop in the hills is better than I ever seen it at this season of the year, however it is raining too much. Cotton is looking fine and growing very rapidly, [but] it is raining too much for the bottom lands. The merchants are selling in time to parties who give them a lien on their cotton. Parties will do that readily to buy goods, but would not think of doing such a thing with a creditor." Over the last page, Kent reports to Jobe on the status and/or activities of numerous friends and associates in Arkansas, and details about a joint business venture the two are planning together.

Title: How to Talk Dirty and influence people; an autobiography
Author: Bruce, Lenny
Seller: The First Edition Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Condition: Near fine
Description: Chicago: Playboy Press, 1965. First Edition. Cloth. Near fine/near fine. First edition of How to Talk Dirty and influence people by Lenny Bruce.. Octavo, xiii, 188pp. Black cloth, title in silver on spine. Stated "First Edition" on copyright page. Solid text block, light toning to endpapers, a near fine example. In the publisher's dust jacket, $5.00 retail price on front flap, sunned spine, light foxing to verso, a near fine example. Lenny Bruce (1925-1966) was a groundbreaking American stand-up comedian, social critic, and satirist, renowned for his open, free-style and critical form of comedy which integrated satire, politics, religion, sex, and vulgarity. His unapologetic style, often laced with profanity, led to frequent clashes with the legal system of his time, making him a figure of controversy and a pioneer of free speech in comedy. Despite facing numerous obscenity charges, Bruce's work played a significant role in challenging censorship and pushing the boundaries of free expression in the entertainment industry. Bruce's life and career were cut short when he died in 1966 at the age of 40.
