Title: My Friend Tree. Poems. (Introduction by Edward Dorn). Linocuts by Walter Miller
Author: NIEDECKER, Lorine
Seller: James S. Jaffe Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: A fine association copy in dust jacket
Description: Edinburgh: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1961. First edition of Niedecker's second book, published by the press of the Scottish concrete poet & gardener extraordinaire Ian Hamilton Finlay, with the introduction by Dorn on a separate sheet laid into the book. Inscribed on the inside front wrapper to her later publisher, Jonathan Williams: "Jonathan: My best book so far (Sept. 3, '69). So good of you to keep it on hand. Best wishes, Lorine". In 1968, Williams' Jargon Society published Niedecker's Tenderness & Gristle: The Collected Poems (1936-1966) & in 1985, the most comprehensive edition of her poetry, From This Condensery: The Complete Writings of Lorine Niedecker. In his introduction to My Friend Tree, Dorn deftly sums up Niedecker's achievement: "I like these poems because first they attach an undistractable clarity to the word, and then because they are unabashed enough to weld that word to a freely sought, beautifully random instance - that instance being the only thing place and its content can be: the catch in the seine". Inscribed books by the sibylline poet from Black Hawk Island on the shores of Lake Koshkonong, Wisconsin, are extremely rare. A fine association copy in dust jacket. Oblong 8vo, original wrappers, dust jacket. A fine association copy in dust jacket.

Title: GRETA GARBO, RAMON NOVARRO | MATA HARI (1931) Oversized pre-Code portrait by Milton Brown
Author: Milton Brown
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: [Los Angeles]: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, [1931]. Vintage original 10 x 13" (25 x 32 cm.) black-and-white double weight semi-glossy silver gelatin photo. Attached informational paper blurb on verso. Handwritten in pencil is code "579-18". Ink stamped on verso "Photographed by MILTON BROWN, credit appreciated". Fine. So censored was Mata Hari even in pre-Code Hollywood (and though allowed in a few released photographs), the footage of Greta Garbo wearing this most revealing négligée designed by Adrian was cut. The highly fictionalized story of the exotic dancer-turned-spy was one of the top box office attractions of 1931. In 1936 a re-release was allowed, minus three minutes of footage which included scenes in which Garbo, seen here with Ramon Novarro, wears this costume.
