Title: Curioser Spiegel, worinnen der ganze Lebenslauf des Menschen von der Kindheit bis zum Alter zu sehen, in Figuren, mit beygefugten ganz neuen kurzen Erklarungen vorgestellt
Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques (United States)
Description: Nurnberg: Verlag der Johann Andreas Endter. Endterischen Handlung, 1824. Neue Auflage. Half Cloth. Marbled Boards. Custom Cloth Box to house book. Tall folio, 34 by 21 cm. Title, followed by 41 hand-colored plates. This work was originally published in 1689, and there was also an 1812 printing. This copy used the original woodcut plates, and the hand-coloring palette and style is consistent with that of the seventeenth century, lending an antiquarian authenticity to the edition. They are woodcuts by Elias Porzelius, mostly after designs by Susanne Maria Sandrart (1658-1716), the relatively rare known female artist of the time. The plates depict all the stages of life, from birth to death, and many depicting the various professions, including tailor, cobbler, baker, butcher, paper maker, bookbinder, cartwright or barrel-maker, dyer, weaver, stonecutter, coachmaker, house painter, saddler, locksmith, , blacksmith, carpenter, clown, etc. Particularly charming are the plates of acrobats and a sleigh procession. None of the illustrations are static -- they depict activity, and a sense of movement and things happening applies to every plate. Not infrequently there is even activity in the background. This applies to the several plates that cover a soldier's life, including an army on the move or at an encampment when soldiers in the foreground are playing dice and others farther back are kibitzing. Some of the illustrations have touches of humor, and they all are suffused with humanity and a Rococo gracefulness in their composition and movement. The hand-coloring has a certain courseness, as actually is period appropriate to coloring of the seventeenth century in this kind of book. Pictorial label on front, laid onto marbled boards, with title of "Bilderbuch fur Kinder". Light wear to binding. Modern cloth box. An overall beautiful children's book that should speak to any antiquarian.

Title: Original Promotional Flyer For Nirvana At City Gardens
Seller: Brian Cassidy Bookseller at Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Near fine.
Description: Trenton, NJ: City Gardens, 1991. Near fine.. Original flyer featuring one of Nirvana's earliest post-NEVERMIND gigs, at Trenton's notorious City Gardens. The generation-defining NEVERMIND was released on September 24, 1991. While "Smells Like Teen Spirit" had been released to radio and as a single weeks before, the song didn't debut on MTV until two days after this show, and it would be months before the song (and NEVERMIND) took off. So the band that rolled into Trenton's infamous s*!?-hole punk club three days later was still far from famous. Former Sub-Pop label mates Das Damen opened; Kurt Cobain, Chris Novoselic, and Dave Grohl played a tight 51-minute set (video of which is widely available online) to the small, typically raucous CG crowd. This was only Nirvana's seventh show of the Nevermind tour, and just the third since the album's release. Produced by City Gardens (likely for distribution at the club), the flyer also lists upcoming shows from The Ramones, The Mighty Lemon Drops, Hoodoo Gurus, Bad Brains, Gwar, and others. An exceptionally early and ephemeral promotional flyer for this epochal tour. 11'' x 8.5''. Original xerographically reproduced black-and-white broadside flyer printed recto and verso. Old folds (quarters), some rubbing here and there. Else bright and clean.

Description: New York: The Viking Press, 1981. First edition. Near fine in near fine jacket.. Signed first printing of this story of the early days of the marijuana reform fight, inscribed to the late Larry King. Anderson's riveting narrative of the birth of NORML, its founder Keith Stroup, and the other era-defining personalities - Hugh Hefner, Willie Nelson, Hunter S. Thompson - seen variously as threats, menaces, and attempted saviors. Written at the dawn of the '80s, HIGH IN AMERICA looks both backwards and forwards at the changing public face of marijuana advocacy from countercultural utopian dream to broad and science-based mainstream coalition. Long before the victories of recent years, Anderson wrote with engaging reasonableness, "Legalization and regulation of marijuana will not be a perfect system, but our s is not a perfect world, and it will come because it is the least-bad system." This unique association copy warmly inscribed to legendary broadcaster Larry King. 9'' x 6''. Original quarter orange cloth with blue boards. In original unclipped ($13.95) dust jacket, designed by Richard Reitzes. 328 pages.

Overall, a bright and sturdy copy. Perinn A4a. Housed in a custom blue-green clamshell box. Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's fourth and final novel, and her longest published work. Set in a fictional dystopian future, Atlas Shrugged paints a picture of what the United States would look like if its best skilled workers, in refusal of being taxed, simply stopped doing their jobs. The title comes from the mythological figure of the Titans named Atlas, who was charged by the gods to hold up the sky and is often depicted as carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Of all Rand's novels, Atlas Shrugged is the most infused with her personal philosophical system called Objectivism, which she would later outline in For the New Intellectual (1961). . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Dust Jacket Included.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: When Benjamin Braddock graduates from a small Eastern college and moves home to his parents' house, everyone wants to know what he's going to do with his life. Embittered by the emptiness of his college education and indifferent to his grim prospects-grad school? a career in plastics?-Benjamin falls haplessly into an affair with Mrs. Robinson, the relentlessly seductive wife of his father's business partner. It's only when beautiful coed Elaine Robinson comes home to visit her parents that Benjamin, now smitten, thinks he might have found some kind of direction in his life. Unfortunately for Benjamin, Mrs. Robinson plays the role of protective mother as well as she does the one of mistress. A wondrously fierce and absurd battle of wills ensues, with love and idealism triumphing over the forces of corruption and conformity.(Publisher).
