Description
Burbank, CA: American Broadcasting Company [ABC], 1969. Collection of 217 individually numbered contact sheets, amounting to 2650 images, from the 1969 film. Housed in two original three-ring binders from the film's publicity department. The occasional frame is circled or crossed through in red marker. A robust collection that documents nearly every facet of the film's production, including numerous candid images of the cast and crew at work. Woody Allen's first film as a director, one of the great American comedies, the film that set the template for Allen's 1970s work. A massive archive documenting the birth of an utterly new and unique voice in cinema, one that would become something even bigger in 1979. Set and shot in San Francisco and inside the walls of San Quentin State Prison. Sheets 8 x 10 inches, most in three-hole mylar sleeves, some with holes punched directly in left margin, others laid in. Very Good overall, few frames excised, general modest edgewear. Binders with signs of use as expected, one spine label missing, other partially lacking, but with titles intact.

[Geneva]: Excudebat Henrius Stephanus, 1581. Second Estienne Edition. 320 x 212 mm. (12 1/2 x 8 1/2"). 6 p.l., 584, 76 pp.Edited and with annotations by Henri Estienne. FINE 17TH CENTURY SPRINKLED CALF PRIZE BINDING, covers gilt with French fillet border, oblique fleur-de-lys at corners, SUPRA LIBROS OF CARDINAL MAZARIN AT CENTER, raised bands, spine compartments with fleurs-de lys at center and corners, edges gilt over marbling (old repair to head of spine). Printer's device (Schreiber 18) on title. WITH 1692 COLLÈGE MAZARIN PRIZE PRESENTATION to Laurence Thibault for Greek oratory, signed by the head of College P. J. Le Chapelier, with seal of the college attached, tipped onto title page. Main text in Greek, dedication (to James VI of Scotland) and Estienne's annotations in Latin. Renouard 149.6; Hoffmann III, 577; Dibdin II, 567; USTC 450908. Lower corner of back board somewhat bumped, leather slightly marked, other very modest exterior wear, but the stately binding in nearly fine condition. First five quires with two tiny wormholes to tail margin, final signature with a little creasing, other insignifcant imperfections, but AN ESPECIALLY FRESH, CLEAN, AND BRIGHT COPY INTERNALLY, the leaves crackling when you turn them. This copy of what Renouard calls the "far superior" Estienne Xenophon is offered in a very attractive binding that was used as a prize for a student at the Collège Mazarin near the close of the 17th century. Best known to his contemporaries as an historian and general, as well as an opponent of Athenian democracy, Xenophon (ca. 430-354 B.C.) was a student of Socrates, and aside from Plato's, his works contain the only surviving examples of Socratic dialogues. Although born in Athens, Xenophon greatly admired Sparta and its political structure, and he eventually went to war for Sparta against the Athenians (this earned him land in Sparta, but unsurprising exile from Athens). Xenophon's philosophical writings found popularity in the Renaissance, and some scholars have suggested that Machiavelli was particularly influenced by Xenophon's more "practical" (i.e., ruthless) approach to politics. The present 1581 printing is among the most highly regarded Renaissance editions of Xenophon's works. The printer and scholar Henri Estienne II (1528-98) was a brilliant classicist best known for producing "Thesaurus Graecae Linguae" (1572), a standard reference for 300 years. He produced his first Xenophon in 1561, but fully revised the text for the present edition. Dibdin tells us that "the edition of 1581 has more intrinsic value than the preceding one," and Renouard notes that it is "not as pretty as the 1561 edition, but far superior." Our copy, fittingly, was presented as a prize for Greek oratory to a student at the Collège Mazarin, founded by a bequest from the former first minister of France, Jules, Cardinal Mazarin (1602-61). Mazarin was not just a prince of the Church and an advisor to the Sun King, but one of the greatest bibliophiles of his day, with a library of 40,000 volumes that became the foundation of the Bibliothèque Mazarine. Our book is bound in a style appropriate to that famed collection, with Mazarin's personal supralibros at the center of each board. The partly printed award certificate bound in at the front indicates that Laurence Thibault had won second prize for Greek oration in the college's "solemn games" honoring the royal recognition of the college. It is signed by the head of the college, Pierre-Jean Le Chapelier de Mauron, who held a doctorate from the Sorbonne and simultaneously served as abbot of the Abbey of Ste Marie-de-Boquen in Brittany..

The surf legend's documentation of California wave riding, the first book of its kind. John Heath "Doc" Ball, a Los Angeles based dentist and avid surfer, would use a specialized wooden camera partially made of dental tools, dubbed the "waterbox", to capture his ambitious subjects. “Surfers are nuts about pictures of themselves, especially ones that show agility in coping with the big waves. They began clamoring for the snaps I made of them with a little stinkin’ box camera.” Doc was active for almost all of his life and can be seen in videos nimbly skateboarding at age 92.

"The Love Department by William Trevor - a darkly comic novel about a thief of the heart, by one of the world's best writers From the offices of her Love Department, Lady Dolores cures the heartaches of the lonely wives of Wimbledon with inimitable flourish and finesse. When her newest protege, the somewhat naive Edward Blakeston-Smith, is sent on a mission - to learn the secrets of seductive, scheming Septimus Tuam and stop him in his tracks - he learns all about love, its friends and enemies. The Love Department was William Trevor's third novel, published in 1966. It will be enjoyed by readers of Colm Toibin, Evelyn Waugh and Muriel Spark. 'A fantasy which proliferates entertainingly from a germ of reality - the reality of boredom felt by comfortably-off suburban wives' Listener 'William Trevor can pack into ten or twenty pages an astounding richness of pathos, humour and tragedy' Francis King William Trevor was born in Mitchelstown, County Cork, in 1928, and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He has lived in England for many years. The author of numerous acclaimed collections of short stories and novels, he has won many awards including the Whitbread Book of the Year, The James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Sunday Times Award for Literary Excellence. He has been shortlisted three times for the Booker Prize: in 1976 with his novel The Children of Dynmouth, in 1991 with Reading Turgenev and in 2002 with The Story of Lucy Gault. He recently received the prestigious David Cohen Literature Prize in recognition of a lifetime's literary achievement.
