Very Good
Description
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1926. First edition. Very Good. Limited to 327 copies (this one out of series). Signed by Ramsaye and Thomas A. Edison. Quarto (241 x 168 mm). Collating: lxx, 400; 401-868. Frontispiece portrait. Illustrated throughout text with black and white photographic reproductions. In the publisher's original blue cloth with gilt decorations on the front boards. Spine lettering dulled and rubbed. A faint tide-mark affecting the closed text-block to vol. 2. But, a Very Good set overall. Housed in a custom blue slipcase with red morocco label. This first official history of cinema, written by film journalist Terry Ramsaye, presents a clear and detailed picture of the early development of film as seen from the Edison camp. Dwelling specifically on Edison's early Kinetograph and his 'Black Maria (the first studio to be built specifically for making commercial films), Ramsaye charts the development of the motion picture industry through 1925. While later critics downplayed Edison's importance, recent scholars have reinstated his preeminent position in the history of film. A lavish production, chronicling the history of the silver screen, with wonderful vintage photographs-as Edison states, "the first endeavor to set down the whole and true story of the motion picture...through his years of preparation...I am aware of [the author's] effort at exact fact. A high degree of detailed accuracy has been attained.". Very Good.

Description
New Bedford, MA: Benj. R. Tucker, 1877. First Edition. Octavo (23.5cm.). Original black glazed wrappers printed and double-ruled in red; pp.206-396,[2]. Wrappers oxidized, chipped at margins and with a few closed tears but no substantial losses; text remains clean, supple and unmarked; about Very Good overall. Tucker's first and scarcest literary and political journal, described by Longa (Anarchist Periodicals in English) as "...the one organ in which the prominent pioneer expositors of American anarchism were united" (p. 207). The Review ran for only four issues before folding due to lack of funds, at which time Tucker spent three years as a reporter for the Boston Daily Globe in order to save enough money to start a new publication, Liberty, which would survive from 1881 to 1908 and cement Tucker's position as the leading exponent of Individualist Anarchism in America. Contributors to the current issue include Elisée Reclus ("Female Kinship and Maternal Filiation"); Dyer Lum (a poem, "Nirvana"); Stephen Pearl Andrews ("The Labor Dollar"); Lysander Spooner ("The Law of Prices"); and the first part of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's "System of Economical Contradictions," translated by Tucker himself and making its first appearance in English in these pages. The Proudhon contribution marks a significant first appearance: this essay, originally published in 1847, is cited as the work that created a permanent rift between Proudhon and Marx, engendering a bitter split between the Anarchist and Communist factions of the First International. Proudhon's essay also bore a strong influence on Tucker's own individualist anarchist philosophy and, by extension, much of American anarchism to follow. A truly rare survival from the formative years of American anarchist philosophy; we have seen only a few issues of Radical Review in original wrappers over more than thirty years of bookselling. LONGA pp.206-8. See also: Paul Avrich, "Anarchist Portraits" (1988), p. 144; and Kathlyn Gay and Martin K. Gay, "Encyclopedia of Political Anarchy" (1999), pp. 206-8.
