Description
Detroit, Michigan: Acme White Lead and Color Works, 1895. Very Good. Rare, unusual paint company promotional and customer aid tool with 22 color plates which one can scroll up or down with two side roller handles. Houses are generally rather grand shingle houses such as one finds still in old upscale (and formerly upscale) suburban communities or old-time seaside resorts such as line the New Jersey shore. The houses today are widely known by the over-general label of Victorian, or just slightly more specificet also somewhat inaccurately, as Queen Anne-style homes, but regardless, have sprawl, a charming assymmetry, large windows promising sun-drenched rooms, and expansive porches or verandahs typically. N.d., circa 1890s. The oak box measures about 40 cm in height, 46 cm wide, and about 13 cm deep. The window, which reveals the scroll's panels in the front, is an oblong 29 by 37 cm, and of course, these are the dimensions of the individual panels. The Acme company was incorporated in 1884. The paints being promoted here became popular; they were appreciated for their fast drying properties. The company later became known as Acme Quality Paints. It was acquired, or absorbed, by Sherwin-Williams in the 1920s or 30s. This contraption is a rare survivor. The only institutional copy of which we are aware is at the Athenaeum in Philadelphia, but this copy has only 15 of the 22 plates that we have here. We believe that the same plates may have been issued in book form, and in that form may reside also at the University of Pennsylvania. Condition: some side chipping or tearing of the scroll. The scroll turning becomes somewhat sticky around plate 15 -- this we believe can be ameliorated. And any user should operate the turning with great prudence and care.

New York, 1815. Very Good. New York: 1815-1833. Small oblong octavo (10x17cm.); full contemporary flame calf, retaining original steel clasp; [75]ll. filled to completion. Joints cracked, original spine leather perished and replaced with later paper spine to match; Good to Very Good, contents clean and legible throughout. Binding retaining original stationer's ticket of Thomas A. Ronalds, Bookseller & Stationer, 188 Pearl-Street, New-York. Ticket surrounded by faint pencil ownership marking "Rigman [?] of Anderson Cough Drops." Complete record of transactions logged by a New York City wholesaler between 1815 and 1833 providing 376 individual entries, generally entered by the customer, providing the researcher with a rainbow of American penmanship samples. Most entries provide the date, the company or individual, and the dollar amount of the transaction. The same names and businesses occur throughout the volume, including merchants Van Winkle & Van Antwerp (36 entries) whose dissolution in the 1820s is reflected by the disappearance of their business name half-way through the volume. Another similar situation concerns local company Stephens & Lippincott (54 entries) who disappear from the record midway through as well. Very few goods are listed by name, though we caught sight of a bale of cloth returned and a hogshead of whiskey purchased. Presumably Anderson's cough drops, a popular treatment for colds and consumption in the 1820s and '30s, were also a commodity.  This business ledger provides quite a readable example in attractive contemporary binding.  .

London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1960. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. First edition (no additional printings indicated, 18/- net price on jacket flap). Includes original jacket and scarce belly band with Robert Pitman review. Two 1/2 inch jacket tears, jacket spine slightly toned with light stain to head, ink notes on endpapers and two text pages. Binding tight and square. 1960 Hard Cover. 416 pp. Author's first novel, a brilliant fusion of murder mystery and existential philosophy. Gerard Sorme is a lonely young Londoner at work on his first novel, in which he intends to express his belief in the meaninglessness of life. His life changes suddenly in unexpected ways when he befriends Austin Nunne, a wealthy and charming gay man with violent sexual desires, and meets Austin's circle of friends: Gertrude, his well-meaning but naive Jehovah's Witness aunt, the ugly but kindly Father Carruthers, and a strange and fanatical artist named Oliver Glasp. Meanwhile, someone else is busy exposing life's meaninglessness in a different way: a serial killer is brutally murdering women in Whitechapel in a manner reminiscent of the Jack the Ripper slayings. The police suspect a crazed sex maniac, but Gerard has his own theory of the killer's motives. As the killings continue and the investigation proceeds, Gerard suddenly finds himself haunted by a terrible suspicion: could his new friend Austin Nunne have anything to do with the crimes?

Description
New York: New York University Press, 1992. First Edition. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 6x0x9. First edition. Top corner of rear cover lightly bumped. 1992 Trade Paperback. ix, 363 pp. This thoughtful, controversial book, by one of the country's leading Latin America scholars, examines the fundamental tenets and ideologies behind America's policy towards Latin America over the course of the last three administrations. Howard Wiarda, who has served as a consultant for the State Department, the Department of the Army, the National Security Council, the Kissinger Commission, and the White House, is ideally situated to provide an insider account of policy decisions and process during the Reagan-Bush era. The combination of Wiarda's academic background and his hands-on knowledge of Washington practices and processes results in a volume that is extremely readable and will serve as a vital link between the scholarly and policymaking communities. Wiarda supplements his incisive analysis on the role of the military in Latin America, shifting U.S. strategic policy, democracy and human rights, and the problems presented by dictators in decline with illuminating case studies of Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, South America, and the Caribbean. The result is a book that will be of interest to both scholars and students of American foreign policy and Latin American studies, as well as policymakers and analysts.

Bound in gray cloth over boards with spine backed in blue and lettered in red. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: From the award-winning author of Chemistry, a sharp-witted, insightful novel about a marriage as seen through the lens of two family vacations Keru and Nate are college sweethearts who marry despite their family differences: Keru’s strict, Chinese, immigrant parents demand perfection (“To use a dishwasher is to admit defeat,” says her father), while Nate’s rural, white, working-class family distrusts his intellectual ambitions and his “foreign” wife. Some years into their marriage, the couple invites their families on vacation. At a Cape Cod beach house, and later at a luxury Catskills bungalow, Keru, Nate, and their giant sheepdog navigate visits from in-laws and unexpected guests, all while wondering if they have what it takes to answer the big questions: How do you cope when your spouse and your family of origin clash? How many people (and dogs) make a family? And when the pack starts to disintegrate, what can you do to shepherd everyone back together? With her “wry, wise, and simply spectacular” style (People) and “hilarious deadpan that recalls Gish Jen and Nora Ephron” (O, The Oprah Magazine), Weike Wang offers a portrait of family that is equally witty, incisive, and tender.(Publisher).
