Just About Fine
Description
Np. No binding. Just About Fine. [San Francisco]: Community Pride, 1985. Vintage original 24 x 36" (61 x 91.5 cm.) pictorial map / poster. Unfolded, minor crimping at bottom left corner, some minor additional wear in a few places at edges, but just about fine with vibrant colors. A vibrant portrayal of San Francisco's Castro neighborhood at a time of great social activism but also at a moment when the LGBTQ community was being devastated by the AIDS epidemic. The map spotlights many of the establishments which catered to the gay community. We are treated to an oblique perspective of the neighborhood. Structuring the view is an orthogonal grid of blue lines representing the area's main streets. In the spaces created between these streets we find an abundance of imagery depicting life -- and especially nightlife -- in the district. At the forefront, most of the scenes are centered on a variety of human figures. Many of them have deliberately been drawn as neutral figures, in some cases hardly more than an outline. But many also include details that anchor the scenes to San Francisco, including 49ers football jerseys, CA license plates or ganja-toting hippies. The map includes many different images of gay men, with an impressive array of mustaches and cowboy hats. There are various portrayals of men hugging, dancing and generally hanging out and being themselves. This map is an extraordinary time capsule -- and an exceedingly rare one. WorldCat only records one known copy, at the Library of Congress, and I can find no previous auction record of it ever appearing.

Description
298 pages. Small octavo (7 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in green cloth with dark green lettering to cover and spine in original pictorial jacket. (First's January 2003 pg 45) First American edition. The Luck of the Bodkins first published in the United Kingdom on October 11, 1935 by Herbert Jenkins, and in the United States on January 3, 1936 by Little, Brown and Company. The two editions are significantly different, though the plot remains the same. The novel was serialized in Passing Show magazine (UK) from 21 September to 23 November 1935, and this version was published as the UK edition. For its US magazine appearance, in the Red Book, between August 1935 and January 1936, Wodehouse re-wrote the story, reducing its length, and this became the US book edition. The story concerns the complicated love life of amiable young Drone Monty Bodkin, the nephew of Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, who had previously appeared in Heavy Weather (1933), when he was employed as the latest in the long line of Lord Emsworth's secretaries. The plot of The Luck of the Bodkins continues into Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin (1972), in which Monty, the object of his affections, hockey-playing Gertrude Butterwick, and movie-mogul Ivor Llewellyn all return.Condition:Some light foxing to fore edge pages, points lightly rubbed. Jacket with some closed edge tears, spine ends lightly chipped with some closed tears, spine sunned, tape repair to back panel else better than very good copy in like jacket.
