Seller: Whitmore Rare Books

Title: Poor Cecco
Author: Rackham, Arthur (illustrator); Margery Williams Bianco
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: New York: George H. Doran Company, 1925. First edition. Near Fine. Deluxe large paper issue, one of 105 numbered copies (this one out-of-series and unsigned). A nearly Fine copy. Quarto (11 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches; 292 x 216 mm.). 175 pp. Seven full-page illustrations in color, mounted on white paper, and twenty-four drawings in black and white. Original parchment-backed light blue paper boards, navy blue lettering label on spine. Pictorial endpapers in pale blue on white. Top edge gilt, others uncut, slight cracking to upper inner hinge. "Margery Williams Bianco's third children's book, the much admired Poor Cecco (1925), is the story of a wooden toy, a 'loose-jointed thing like a dog', who gets out of the toy cupboard and has a lengthy series of adventures with his friend Bulka the rag puppy. The first edition was illustrated by Arthur Rackham" (The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature). The text, with the same plates and drawings, first appeared in magazine form in Good Housekeeping, beginning in May 1925. This, the rarest of all the Rackham limited editions was actually never signed by Rackham. The 105 copies were numbered and signed by Margery Williams Bianco, this copy however apparently escaped the signing process. The text, with the same illustrations by Rackham, also appeared in Good Housekeeping beginning in May 1925. No limited English edition was issued. Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrator of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth, Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper (1892). Over the next few years, he took on more and more commissions for children's books, hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic-from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Latimore and Haskell, p. 59; Riall, p. 155. Near Fine.

Title: MONTI ROCK III (1975) Publicity photo
Author: Ron Galella
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Ron Galella. No binding. Fine. New York: Ron Galella, Sep 9, 1975. Vintage original borderless 8 x 10" (20 x 25 cm) black-and-white double weight photo. With photographer stamp on verso, fine. Monti Rock III (1939-2026) was a hairdresser whose work for models in the 1960s and flamboyance led to appearances on The Merv Griffin Show beginning in 1966. Rock's personality brought him to the national stage when he began appearing regularly as a guest on The Tonight Show. He compared his "famous for being famous" status to what would later be seen on reality television. He acknowledged the similarity in his act to that of Liberace, who he jokingly claimed stole his act. Rock is generally considered to be one of the first disco artists to cross into the mainstream. In February 1975, producer Bob Crewe created a persona for him, which became Disco-Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes. Two of the tracks from the Disco Tex and His Sex-O-Lettes Review album, "Get Dancin'" and "I Wanna Dance Wit' Choo (Doo Dat Dance)", became hit singles in the United States and instant staples at burgeoning New York City dance clubs including Studio 54. The two songs were also Top 10 hits in the United Kingdom. By the end of the 1970s, disco music was fully mainstream, and Rock also appeared in the movie Saturday Night Fever as the DJ. As a running gag, he often incremented the Roman numeral suffix after his stage name "Monti Rock" (eventually up to Monti Rock VI) with each "reinvention" before dropping the gag later in life. He later resided and performed in Las Vegas, where he penned a gossip column. His career largely failed in the 1990s, which he attributed to homosexuality entering the mainstream and his act no longer being so unique, but he continued to make appearances as a supporting act. Rock was openly gay from the time he came out at age 13. (Wikipedia)
