Description
1956. CHINA. First five-year plan for Development of the National Economy of the People's Republic of China in 1953-1957. Unpaginated (approximately 70 pp.), profusely illustrated. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. Peking: Foreign Languages Press, 1956. An astonishing example of modernist book design from communist China. The avant-garde layout combined with the use of photography and isotypes is strongly reminiscent of such works as Lissitzky's An Album Illustrating the State Organization and National Economy of the U.S.S.R. published in 1929. Dust jacket restored. Otherwise a fine copy of a most unusual book.

Each act begins with a separate title leaf indicating the session of Parliament and date; all eight leaves bear have the identical 1781 imprint as above. Pagination and signatures are continuous, with a 4-page table of contents at the end. There are several recorded variants of this compilation. Ours consists of the following: 20 Geo.II.c.3 (1746); 20 Geo.II.c.42 (1746); 21 Geo.II.c.10 (1747); 31 Geo.II.c.22 (1757); 2 Geo.III.c.8 (1762); 6 Geo.III.c38 (1765); 18 Geo.III.c.26 (1777); and 19 Geo.III.c.59 (1778).

Charming faith promoting work for young Mormons, about nine year old twins, Peter & Paula. "Always remember: My body is a temple I will keep it clean and wholesome as a place for the Spirit of the Lord to dwell in." Each year, approximately 10,000 people float the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. The Middle Fork is a 104-mile free-flowing river in the heart of the Frank Church--River of No Return Wilderness, originating 20 miles northwest of Stanley, Idaho, at the confluence of Bear Valley and Marsh Creeks. It was one of the original eight rivers in the nation designated as Wild and Scenic on October 2, 1968.

Description
Grosset & Dunlap, 1928. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. Phillips, Coles. Blue cloth boards with dark blue lettering under dust jacket with Coles Phillips painting (enlargement of the frontispiece.) A lovely copy that presents quite well. Temple Bailey was one of the most popular authors of her day, selling an estimated 3 million copies of her books, 2 of which were made into early films, including this title, which was filmed by Svend Gade in 1925. This book was likely published in 1928, as it references Bailey's "Silver Slippers" (1928) but not her 1928 Christmas publication or her 1929 novel. It does not reference the Gade photoplay.
