Seller: Honey & Wax Booksellers

Title: The Princess Casamassima
Author: James, Henry
Seller: Honey & Wax Booksellers (United States)
Description: London: Macmillan, 1886. First edition of Henry James's most overtly political novel, one of 750 copies, first published in the Atlantic Monthly. The Princess Casamassima traces the friendship of a radical London bookbinder and an idle princess with revolutionary sympathies: "By way of defending the aristocracy he said to her that it couldn't be true they were all a bad lot (he used that expression because she had let him know that she liked him to speak in the manner of the people)." The comparatively action-packed plot, which turns on a terrorist assassination attempt, shows the influence of Charles Dickens and Émile Zola on James more clearly than his introspective fiction. Edel & Laurence A29. A near-fine first edition of a major novel. Three octavo volumes, measuring 7.5 x 5 inches: iv, 252; iv, 257, [3]; iv, 242, [2]. Original dark blue-green cloth, double-rule border and panel stamped in black and blind, spines lettered in gilt with gilt publisher's device and decorative rules at head and foot stamped in black, brown-coated endpapers, all edges untrimmed. Two pages of publisher's advertisements at rear of Volume II; two pages of advertisements at rear of Volume III. Owner signature of E.S. Russell to title page of each volume. Tiny scuff to spine and chip to endpaper of Volume I. Housed in a custom clamshell box.

Title: THE COCKETTES & SYLVESTER (1971) NY event poster
Creator: Harry Zerler
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Just About Fine
Description: Anderson Theatre. No binding. Just About Fine. [New York]: Harry Zerler, [1971]. Vintage original 25 x 20" (63 x 50 cm.) poster, unfolded, just about fine. Poster for the New York debut of the Cockettes and Sylvester, a legendary fiasco. The Cockettes were a queer avant-garde hippie theatre troupe that formed in the fall of 1969 in San Francisco. "In November 1971, the Cockettes were booked for performances at the Anderson Theater in New York City. The venue had no sound or lighting systems and needed a curtain. The stage was also twice the size of the Cockettes' usual one, so all the sets had to be rebuilt from scratch in six days. They opened with 'Tinsel Tarts In a Hot Coma', a send-up of films about Broadway in the 1930s. According to accounts of the time, 'Everybody who was anybody' came to the Cockettes' New York opening, including such celebrities as John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Liza Minnelli, Allen Ginsberg, Anthony Perkins, Truman Capote, Gore Vidal and Angela Lansbury. Also attending were Andy Warhol and his own infamous gender-bending drag performers Holly Woodlawn and Candy Darling. "But with the Cockettes' loose San Francisco magic, the opening night was a disaster, as New Yorkers expected a tightly performed show. Angela Lansbury walked out on the show, soon followed by Andy Warhol and most of the rest of the audience. After the show Gore Vidal quipped, 'Having no talent is not enough.'" (wikipedia)

Title: US Soldier in Colonial Algeria & North Africa During World War II., Sgt. T. Mansker Photo Album, of 274 images c. 1940s
Author: Sgt. T. Mansker; French Occupied Algeria
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1942. American serviceman's Sgt. T. Mansker's photo album, compiled from experience moving between France and French colonial Algeria, circa 1942-1945, A majority of the approx. 270 photographs take place in wartime Algeria under Allied military presence in French colonial Algeria. The album centers on occupied Algerian street life, public space, transport, and military circulation in North Africa, preserving roughly 100 views of of colonial Algeria, spanning religious sites, social street views, and commercial districts shaped by foreign military presence during the war. Real photo postcards addressed by Mansker to Mrs. T. Mansker in Chicago place the album as depicting Mansker's time in France, stamped and sent in November 1944 through the US Army's mailing system, while the larger body of photographs are numbered North African and Algerian views, indicating a commercial photographic market serving foreigners in North Africa. Photo archive of 274 items, including 268 silver gelatin photographs and real photo postcards, one press photograph, and 5 unique negatives, North Africa and France, circa 1942-1945. The album begins with mailed postcards from France to Mansker's wife and continues with a dense run of black and white photographs mounted on black paper leaves, many of the Algerian images uniformly numbered and consistent with commercial views sold to soldiers. Content includes parade formations marching through city streets lined with civilian spectators; a Red Cross "Enlisted Men's Service Club" entrance; harbor and rail scenes with locomotives, freight cars, wrecked machinery, and transport corridors; bomb-damaged streets, rubble, and collapsed masonry in French urban settings; mosque and church exteriors and interiors; shrines, cemeteries, gardens, monuments, and civic buildings; palm-lined boulevards and colonial public architecture; and numerous Algerian street scenes with robed men, children posed in portraits, merchants and vendors, donkey and horse transport, roadside labor, shepherding, courtyard gatherings, and small groups seated or standing beneath walls and arcades. Several street views also retain wartime control signs in the background, including one reading "British Personnel Only" and another marked "Off Limits to U.S. Forces," giving direct visual evidence of restricted military space and overlapping Allied jurisdictions within the urban environment of wartime Algeria. Many photos record everyday business and movement continuing in streets and market spaces amid military passage, colonial institutions. Some photos depict servicemen's entertainment and staged theatrical performance, extending the album's wartime scope beyond transport and occupation into the organized leisure and morale culture surrounding Allied military life. French colonial Algeria served as a port, staging ground, administrative center, and transportation hub after the North African landings, with routes linking North Africa, southern France, and the wider Mediterranean war. The album's Algerian majority includes street commerce, religious sites, child portraiture, transport routes, and public ceremonies alongside Allied military presence in cities and towns under French colonial administration during the war. Black-paper leaves heavily worn with crumbling edges, worn and delicate spine, lots of tape residue, lifted and loose photos, and loose pages; photographs generally remain in good condition, RPPCs remain legible. Mansker's postcards and the album's large numbered Algerian sequence anchor the material in the overlap of U.S. military movement, colonial Algeria, and wartime commercial photography.

A second folding pamphlet comprises a small illustrated catalog with additional models, modifications, and specifications.

(price-clipped) [moderate shelfwear to book, previous owner's commercial bookplate on front pastedown; jacket a little edgeworn, a bit of paper loss at both ends of spine, light soiling to rear panel]. (B&W photographs) A history of the early Civil Rights era in the South, focusing not directly on the movement itself but rather on the fight put up against it by the segregationist/white supremacist elements in the region. In the book, blurbed as "the first scholarly work to deal definitively with the politics of southern resistance to public school desegregation," "the author views southern politics and race relations broadly, defining the basic patterns while at the same time recognizing the immense variety of attitudes in the region. As an examination of the opposition to social change, the study focuses on the more conservative aspects of southern politics." .
