Title: Really Rosie
Author: SENDAK Maurice
Seller: Bauman Rare Books (United States)
Description: 1975. First Edition. Signed. SENDAK, Maurice. Really Rosie. New York: Screen Gems-Columbia, 1975. Folio (9 by 12 inches), original pictorial paper wrappers. $3500.First edition, presentation copy, of the piano/vocal score of the animated television special composed and performed by Carole King, inscribed on the first page of music to a close friend and neighbor: ""For Andy, who is Really Swell!Maurice Sendak June '77.""The animated television series Really Rosie was based on Sendak's books The Sign on Rosie's Door and The Nutshell Library. It featured music composed and performed by Carole King, with the story and lyrics by Maurice Sendak. This score features music for piano, vocal, and organ, with additional chord notations. Not in Hanrahan. The former owner of this inscribed book was Maurice Sendak's neighbor, Andrew, from Ridgefield, Connecticut. Sendak bought a home and studio in Ridgefield in 1972 with his longtime partner, Eugene Glynn, and lived there until his death. Andrew first encountered Sendak in 1975 during one of his daily dog walks. (Sendak owned many dogs throughout his life, and they often starred in his books.) Andrew was immediately taken with Sendak, who reminded him of his recently deceased father. One day, Andrew called Sendak at home and asked if he could join him on his walks. Andrew and Sendak thus embarked on a 37-year friendship that also included the Andrew's mother, Betty, as well as Andrew's brother. Sendak went on long walks and hikes with Andrew and his family regularly, discussing general life events, opera, and books. He also invited them into his studio to show off works in progress. Andrew's mother, Betty, was an avid reader and collector and she and Sendak would talk late into the night about books. Sendak offered Betty advice about how to find and authenticate rare children's books, which she used to build her collection. Additionally, he frequently bartered for autographs (i.e. a cake for an inscribed drawing). The many inscribed drawings, along with first editions, signed books, limited edition books, and other valuable items grew into one of the country's premier Sendak collections.Pinpoint foxing to edges of text block, faint staining to rear wrapper, only slight rubbing to wrappers. A near-fine inscribed copy.

Title: Why I Do Not Eat Meat [Vegetarianism & Radical Religion] [The Pillar of Fire Church]
Author: White, Mrs. Alma (1862-1946)
Seller: Blind Horse Books [ABAA - FABA] (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Zarephath, New Jersey: The Pentecostal Union, 1915. First Edition, First Printing. Very Good/No Dust Jacket.. A radical 1915 manifesto on religious vegetarianism by the first female Bishop in the U.S.-the controversial founder of the Pillar of Fire sect. Published at the church's Zarephath headquarters, this treatise argues that 'physical purity' is a divine requirement, showcasing the early ethical frameworks of a leader who would later become a notorious apologist for the Ku Klux Klan. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: Illustrated with full-page drawings and 10 pages of advertisements featuring photographs of the Pillar of Fire training sites and church publications. +++ Binding: Original maroon cloth with stamped silver gilt titles. +++ Content: A foundational text of the Pillar of Fire Church, outlining an ethical and spiritual framework for a meat-free lifestyle. +++ Historical Context: While advocating for women's equality and health reform, White remains one of the most controversial figures in American religion due to her later vocal support of the Ku Klux Klan. +++ Imprint: The Pentecostal Union (later Pillar of Fire), Zarephath, NJ. +++ Specs: 7.5 inches tall / 213, [10] pages. CONDITION: Very Good+ -- Bindings are tight and square. Text is clean with light, even age-toning. Minimal shelf handling wear. Previous owner's name stamp on the front paste-down. Silver stamping remains relatively bright against the maroon cloth. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- Alma Bridwell White was a pioneer of the "Holiness Movement" and remains the first woman consecrated as a bishop in the United States. Her leadership of the Pillar of Fire Church in Zarephath, New Jersey, represented a radical departure from mainstream Methodism, focusing on rigorous lifestyle restrictions, including the vegetarianism detailed in this 1915 work. White's legacy is deeply polarized. While 'Why I Do Not Eat Meat' showcases her progressive views on animal ethics and women's health, it was written just years before she became a leading religious apologist for the Ku Klux Klan. This work is a vital artifact for the study of early 20th-century "fringe" religious movements and the often-contradictory intersection of social reform (vegetarianism/feminism) and nativist ideologies in American history. SUBJECTS: Alma White, Pillar of Fire Church, Vegetarianism, Animal Ethics, Women in Religion, New Jersey History, Holiness Movement, Religious Extremism, Religious History, Health & Wellness, Social Reform.

Title: The Gold Discovery Journal of Azariah Smith
Author: Smith, Azariah. Edited by David L. Bigler [Will Bagley]
Seller: Tschanz Rare Books (United States)
Description: Salt Lake City, UT: University of Utah Press, 1990. First Edition. 159pp. Octavo [23.5 cm] Black cloth with the title silver stamped on the backstrip. Near fine/Near fine. Ex-libris Will Bagley, with his notes, underlining, and, sticky notes, throughout. Warmly inscribed by the editor to friend, and fellow historian, Will Bagley, on the front free endsheet. "To my young friend, and fellow Utah Westerner, Will Bagley, with best wishes and warmest regard. Dave Bigler 5/19/90." Additionally signed by the editor on the title page. Excellent association copy. As a teenager, Smith marched with the Mormon Battalion of Stephen Watts Kearny's Army of the West from Fort Leavenworth to the Pacific, one of the longest infantry marches in recorded history. As an employee of James Marshall at Sutter's Mill, he was an eyewitness to the gold discovery of January 24, 1848, that touched off a massive population shift west. And was a member of the company that opened the Mormon-Carson Pass Emigrant Trail over the Sierra Nevada, to become the major route of the gold rush. These writings reveal a hopeful young man, literate, sensitive to his environment. Always optimistic and filled with wonder at the world around him, he finds pleasure in small things, unaware of the momentous nature of the events he chronicles.

Title: Let Us Now Praise Famous Men: Three Tenant Families.
Author: Agee, James and Walker Evans.
Seller: Lighthouse Books, ABAA (United States)
Description: Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1969. Octavo, slick black cloth (hardcover), silver letters, [64] plates + 471 pp. Near Fine, with light foxing (age darkened spotting) to page edges; in a Very Good, mylar protected dust jacket with edgewear. From dust jacket: In the summer of 1936, James Agee and Walker Evans were sent on a journalistic assignment to discover and disclose the actual daily lives of typical sharecropper families in the South. They found and lived with three families for one month, and put together words and photographs that were eloquent, original, and devastating. (Here in this time; on this vast continental sorrowful clay I see you, encamped, imprisoned; each iiin your pitiably decorated little unowned ship of a home...”). They were describing a mode of life -- in our rural slums -- that was unthinkably remote and tragic. It was only by the most extreme violence and realism that they could hope to make the world aware of it. Let Us Now Praise Famous Men was immediately hailed by some as cruel, repetitious, crazy; by others as fresh, intensely moving, overwhelming, accurately poetic writing. The rhetoric in the first and last sections is suggestive of Melville’s description of the death grapple of Ahab with the White Whale. The middle section is, as the authors say, “the beginning of an attempt, as exhaustively as possible to record and examine a peice of unimagined human consciousness... with nothing, however trivial, left out.” It is a list, an incantation of facts, a camera moving through rooms; it is a search for the human and religious meaning of these people’s lives: their waking, sleeping, eating; the work; the illiteracy; their houses, children, animals; and their helpless endurance.... in the original edition thirty-one pictures -- just half the number Walker Evans intended to publish -- were printed. Now the full complement of photographs is appearing. If most professional photography is dominated by the commercial stance or the artistic posture, Evans is in recoil from these. his work might even be said to have brought photographic style back around to the plain, relentless snapshot. In this sense the pictures in this book amount to a technical and psychological adventure.
