Seller: Whitmore Rare Books

Title: The Lady in the Lake
Author: Chandler, Raymond
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description: London: Hamish Hamilton, 1944. First UK edition. Octavo. Original yellow cloth, titles to spine in red. With the dust jacket. Faint publisher's stamp to rear free endpaper verso. Spine minimally rolled, hint of shelfwear to bottom edge of boards, contents faintly toned; else a near-fine copy in the faintly soiled jacket with lightly faded spine and slight rippling to bottom of spine. First UK edition, first impression, originally published in America in 1943. This was the fourth of Chandler's novels featuring Philip Marlowe, in which he "becomes more cynical and world-weary, and actively misanthropic, projecting his own despair onto the state of California, and onto modern life itself" (ODNB). It was adapted into a film of the same name in 1947. Bruccoli A4.2.a.

Title: Our Movie Doll" 1916-1917 Uncut Paper Doll Sheets from "The Ladies' World
Seller: Eclectibles (United States)
Condition: Very good. Light toning/dust soiling, the occasional nick. Some tape repairs.
Description: [New York, New York?]: The Ladies' World, 1917. Very good. Light toning/dust soiling, the occasional nick. Some tape repairs.. A partial set of six (6) uncut paper doll sheets, each published as part of a series of "Movie Dolls" in the serial "The Ladies' World". This set includes doll nos. 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10, which feature the following actresses (and one actor): Marguerite Clark; Anita Stewart; Marie Doro; George Le Guere; Charlotte Walker; and Pauline Frederick. Only one of the sheets is colored (No. 3); each uncut sheet measures approx. 16.25" by 10.75", and depicts the star or starlet in character costume. A good example of the kind of ephemera in the first half of the 20th century that contributed to a boom in interest in movie stars, celebrities, and modern "fan culture" as we know it today.

Title: JAKE AND HONEYBUNCH GO TO HEAVEN
Author: Zemach, Margot
Seller: Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Fine in fine jacket.
Description: New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1982. Fine in fine jacket.. Inscribed first printing of this picture book that "has drawn freely on the themes of black American folklore," famously objected to in a letter to the publisher signed by 14 children's librarians for its depiction of African American stereotypes. This title garnered a number of positive reviews before librarians across the country banded together to object the book. In the letter sent to the publisher, Elizabeth Huntoon said that they "felt that the book's interpretation of a Black heaven would offend many people and that it reinforced many stereotypes which are not offset by a wealth of children's literature portraying the Black experience" (quoted in Bridgman; by 1982 only two books by Black authors had received a Newbery Medal). The decision of many librarians not to purchase the book for their systems upset the publisher, who felt the choice was "arbitrary"; these librarians and others countered that curation was a critical aspect of their profession. An instructive example of late-20th century debates on the selection of children's books for public libraries. 10.75'' x 9.5''. Original blue cloth boards stamped in silver. In original unclipped ($13.95) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color. [40] pages. Inscribed by Zemach to half title. Touch of edgewear to jacket.
