Title: Ad Hoc Bulletin (Marxist-Leninist) (Three issues of the FBI's COINTELPRO-era fake Maoist newsletter)
Author: Ad Hoc Committee for a Marxist-Leninist Party, USA; [Federal Bureau of Investigation]
Seller: Burnside Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Description: Chicago & New York: Ad Hoc Committee for a Marxist-Leninist Party, USA, 1971. Three issues: Vol. 8 Nos. 2 & 3, Vol. 9 No. 1. Bound in publisher's corner stapled sheets. 11; 11; 14 pp. respectively. Very Good, sheets folded in the middle, light toning, creased corners to the issues in Vol. 8. Rare.Until Aaron Leonard uncovered that the Ad Hoc Committee was an FBI front group designed to attract and surveil radicals as well as damage the Left as part of their infamous COINTELPRO in his 2015 book Heavy Radicals, hardly anyone suspected the group of being anything other than a dogmatic Maoist grouplet with a singularly workmanlike, unhip, and unattractive newsletter. Leonard writes in a summary article, "The FBI's Maoist Faction": "Among the Maoist organizations to arise out of the political tumult of the 1960s was a group known as the Ad Hoc Committee for a Marxist-Leninist Party (initially called the Ad Hoc Committee for a Scientific Socialist Line). The entity, begun in 1962, was said to be a secret faction within the US Communist Party working against the 'revisionism' of Nikita Khrushchev and US party leader Gus Hall. That the entire operation was an FBI construct was a mystery to all but a handful of FBI agents and informants. [...] As hyper-radical as the AHC came across, the force behind the program was an FBI Special Agent named Herbert K. Stallings." Hindsight being 20/20, these newsletters are highly interesting pieces of disinformation and propaganda against the American Left, snapshots from a quiet war one side of the conflict may not have even realized it was fighting.

Title: Tuffy Bean Series
Author: Edwards, Leo; Lee, Edward Edson
Seller: B Street Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1931. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Salg, Bert. The complete Tuffy Bean series, with all four jackets featuring Bert Salg's illustrations. Narrated by Tuffy Bean himself, the series follows the humorous adventures of the little dog and his friends. As in his 'Jerry Todd' series, Edwards included a section printing and responding to letters at the end of each book, establishing a friendly intimacy with his readers (a practice cited as an inspiration by Stan Lee). "When I was four weeks old I swallowed a bumblebee with a yellow rumble seat. Suffering cats! I never knew till then that bees carried pitchforks. What that busy little honey hound did to my insides was plenty for little Tuffy. My ma said then, sort of disgusted-like, as she pulled a burr out of her tail, that I was the dumbest pup she ever raised. And my pa, who was kind of proud of me for having the nerve to snap at the bumblebee, said I was the toughest. At that time we ere living with a farmer named Mr. Bean. So now you know why everybody calls me Tuffy Bean." The first three books are in the first format identified in Mattson and Davis, with plain red binding, the titles in gold outlined in black, white endpapers. The final book is in the second format, with a fish in a top hat on the front cover, pictorial endpapers in read and white, top edge blue. The jackets, now in protective covers, show minor wear to the corners and the heads and tails of the spines, with some loss to the tails of volumes 1 and 2. Some yellowing of endpapers and title pages, otherwise the interiors are clean, bright and unmarked. See photos. MAD# 60000. 7.75 x 5.25

Condition: Very Good
Description: Edinburgh: Printed for Archibald Constable and Company, 1818 Four volumes. First edition, first issue lacking signature on dedication leaf in Volume I, with the misspelling of "Wichtcraft" in Volume II on page 52, and page 348 misnumbered in Volume IV as 438.

Near fine set with some toning to spines, light spotting to some pages, offsetting to edges of front and rear free endpapers, small nick to bottom edge of Volume II text block, and a hint of wear to gilt on Volume III spine. An attractive and fresh set. Todd & Bowden 122Aa. These four volumes comprise the second installment of the Tales of My Landlord series, a subset of Scott's Waverley novels. The series, intended to highlight life in different Scottish regions, was published under Scott's pseudonym Jedediah Cleishbotham the "Schoolmaster and Parish-clerk of Gandercleugh" and purported to be a collection of tales from the landlord of the fictional Wallace Inn at Gandercleugh, who was said to have sent them to Cleishbotham for editing and arrangement. The second series of Tales of My Landlord contains Scott's popular historical novel, The Heart of Mid-Lothian, which is widely considered one of the best of the Waverley novels. The title "The Heart of Mid-Lothian" refers to the Old Tolbooth Prison in Edinburgh and emphasizes the novel's central theme of crime and punishment. Based on the actual Porteous Riots of 1736, the novel tells the story of nobleman George Staunton and his lover Effie Deans. Presented as the man whose freedom ultimately sparked the riots, Staunton attempts to assist Effie, who is convicted of infanticide after her child by Staunton is kidnapped by his former mistress. The novel follows Effie's sister's valiant efforts to clear Effie's name, the mistress's treatment of Effie's son, and Staunton's ultimate downfall.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good.
