Author: [Mexican-American War]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Near fine.
Description: Mexico City: February 15, 1847. Near fine.. [1]pp. Quarto on a folded folio sheet. A rare Mexican decree in which the acting Vice President of Mexico, Valentin Gomez Farías gives President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna permission to leave office and fight the Mexican-American War in person. Shortly following the date that this announcement was made, Santa Anna gathered roughly 14,000 troops to fight General Zachary Taylor’s army of 5,000 men at the Battle of Buena Vista. The proclamation is largely ceremonial, since Santa Anna had already been in the field with his army for several weeks, but it is nevertheless an interesting artifact of the northern campaign of the Mexican-American War. Signed in print by the Minister of Internal and Foreign Affairs, José María Ortiz Monasterio; OCLC reports just one copy, at Yale.

Title: Break-up
Author: Wilde, Hagar
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Fair
Description: Boston: Little, Brown and Company. Fair. 1931. First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [FAIR condition only, although solidly bound and internally clean except for the initials of (I guess) a one-time owner on the front pastedown; externally, though, it's kind of a mess, with a number of small paper bits stuck to the front cover (which is also quite soiled), and a large ugly stain on the rear cover (I suspect the paper bits are remnants of the no-longer-present dust jacket, which was probably moisture-adhered to the book at some point)]. Novel about a sophisticated New York marriage that turns sour. The first of only two published novels by Ms. Wilde, a prolific short story writer and sometime playwright, who later became better known as a screenwriter, notably of the classic screwball comedies BRINGING UP BABY (she had also written the original magazine story, and shared the screenplay credit with with Dudley Nichols) and I WAS A MALE WAR BRIDE, both directed by Howard Hawks (and, for what it's worth, both featuring Cary Grant in drag). For those who are interested in such minutae, the dedicatee of this novel, "E.V.H.," was undoubtedly her second (of four) husbands, Ernest Victor Heyn. This novel was her first entree to Hollywood, as it was announced that Paramount had purchased the movie rights (although no movie was ever made), but it was RKO's later purchase of the Collier's story that became BRINGING UP BABY that firmly established her screenwriting career. .
