Title: Silicon Valley [caption title]
Author: [Technology]: [California]: [Pham Bach Phi]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Description: [San Jose, CA]: Gist & Erdmann, Inc. / Panoramic Map Productions, 1989. Color printed map on sturdy, glossy paper, 39 x 26.75 inches. Small piece of old cellophane tape in the upper margin, tiny puncture in image area near top-middle portion of the map, lightly wrinkled, previously rolled. Overall in very good condition. A rare and charming 1989 pictorial cartoon map and calendar of Silicon Valley illustrated by Pham Bach Phi, one of at least three such works produced by the artist during the tech boom of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Copyrighted and published as a joint venture between Gist & Erdmann, Inc. and Panoramic Map Productions, the view employs an inviting, almost pastoral aesthetic that deliberately downplays the burgeoning urban sprawl brought on by the explosion of the computer industry. By depicting major freeways as rustic roads and rendering corporate headquarters in a modest commercial style, the artist fosters a small-town atmosphere in a region that was, at the time, undergoing a radical industrial transformation. The poster is populated with company logos and vignettes that celebrate a local economy rapidly centralizing around the technology sector. Notable names include Oracle, IBM, Apple, and Hewlett-Packard, practically a "Who's Who" of the era's digital vanguard. The bottom portion of the work is printed with a calendar for the upcoming year of 1990, underscoring the item's original purpose as a functional office product in itself. The year 1990 (like most years since the '70s) marked the dawn of the digital era in Silicon Valley, highlighted by Tim Berners-Lee installation of the first World Wide Web server on a NeXT computer -- Steve Jobs' post-Apple venture -- at CERN. The year also saw the launch of LambdaMOO at Xerox PARC, the inaugural Photoshop Invitational in Mountain View, and key, early developments in 3D graphics and networking that set the stage for the dot-com boom and current computer technologies.

Title: A Month in Honolulu [cover title]
Author: [Hawaii]: [Western Photographica]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: About very good.
Description: [Various locations in Southern California and Hawaii, 1914. About very good.. Sixty-one leaves, illustrated with 214 mounted silver gelatin photographs, most with manuscript annotations in white ink; plus numerous mounted postcards, menus, and assorted ephemera. Oblong quarto. Contemporary black textured limp cloth over boards. Edges a bit chipped and tattered, inelegant black tape repairs to spine. First leaf detached, contents otherwise clean. A wonderful, annotated vernacular photograph album documenting a well-to-do family's vacation to Hawaii via brief stops along the West Coast in 1914. The album opens with a group image of the travelers in San Francisco, numbering around twenty-two men, women, and children, captioned "Southern California - Honolulu." This is followed by several pages picturing their initial journey from Seattle down to San Pedro, Los Angeles, and San Diego, before they departed for Honolulu on the S.S. Matsonia on June 17. A passenger list is included, and many of the images are captioned with the names of the subjects, providing a nice opportunity for identifying the travelers by cross-referencing the passenger list. The group spends their vacation time at the Sea Side Hotel on Waikiki Beach, in bathing houses and on the beach, visiting local businesses, plantations, and other hotels, surfing, fishing, and more. Through the course of the album, much of the landscape of Waikiki is featured, providing a snapshot of the hotel and details of its surroundings, along with shots of a "Native Village," sugar cane fields and a plantation, pineapple fields, street views of Honolulu, a picnic for "Kids of all nations" at Waikiki, the Port of Honolulu, and more. The album also features a few early images of surfing at Waikiki Beach. In mid-July, true to the title of the album, the group heads back across the Pacific Ocean aboard the R.M.S. Niagara after just one month. Most notable among the photographs are about thirty risqué images of local Hawaiian women interspersed throughout. The pictures of the "Native Girls" often feature them topless or scantily clad, identifying them with additional captions such as "Hawaiian Beauty," "Maidens bathing," "Girls," "Hula Hula Dancers," and "The Ex. Queen of Hawaii." One group shot shows ten Hawaiian women eating fish, captioned "'Lunau' [sic, Lu'au] or Native feast." Another side-view image of a naked Hawaiian woman is annotated, "The Natives are a sturdy race of people." There are also numerous images featuring other indigenous Hawaiian people in a variety of settings, including a couple of images showing a "Hawaiian boy climbing a cocoa nut palm," two pictures of "Native fisher boys," a "Native hut," "Hawaiian kiddies," a "Native canoeist," a "Group of Natives," a "Native Priest - looks as if he had been fasting for some time," and images showing "Natives selling 'Leis' for departing visitors" and "Native 'Leis' vendors on Honolulu." The images of the Hawaiian women, as well as the men, combined with the captions, provide an opportunity for further studying the ways in which affluent American mainlanders have traditionally viewed indigenous Hawaiians and other native peoples encountered throughout the world. In addition to the passenger list mentioned above, the ephemeral items include shipboard menus, a program for an onboard concert, newspaper clippings, cigar labels, and postcards. The latter includes a series of forty-one vibrantly-colored postcards illustrated with Hawaiian fish. An interesting travel album detailing a trip to Hawaii at the outset of the First World War, with many notable observations on indigenous peoples in Honolulu, especially the young women of the island.

Title: I've Got Sixpence; a play in two acts
Author: van Druten, John
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Near Fine in Very Good dj
Description: New York: Dramatists Play Service. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1953). First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [no significant wear to book, slight age-toning to page edges, one-time owner's address label on ffep; jacket lightly spotted/soiled and a bit yellowed, small chip at top of spine, another small chip at bottom of front panel]. (B&W photo frontispiece) Van Druten's play about some pretty big themes -- things like religious faith, and what makes life worth living -- had a very short run (23 performances, if you must know) on Broadway in December 1956. The jacket photo, also reproduced as the book's frontispiece, depicts co-stars Edmond O'Brien and Viveca Lindfors, he playing an unsympathetic role as a brutish novelist, she as the woman whom he impregnates during their brief affair, then abandons. .
