Paris: Henry Babou, Editeur, 1933. Limited Edition. Paperbound books in collective slipcases. Very Good. Softcover volumes in original portfolio wrappers. Contents publshed as unbound signatures and laid into the portfolio wrappers. Almost of the individual portfolio wrappers have a glassine jacket. The volumes in this set are further protected in 7 slipcases,and a single internal chemise. The cloth slipcases are still sturdy and serve their purpose but show some fading and wear and are no longer handsome. The exposed portions of the chemises have faded and have some stains while the sides of the chemises which are inserted in the slipcase still have attractive blue sidesThe slipcases contain 2-4 volumes and have the names of the artistes du livre printed on the narrow visible portion of the chemise that is visible. We assume that this was done for a former owner or bookseller who assembled this set. This assembled set may have originally included an 8th slipcase and chemise containing the two missing volumes. This method of protection appears to have worked well since most of this volumes are almost as new.The two missing volumes from this set are Nos. 22 on LeGrand (1931) and No. 24 on Touchet (1932). Seventeen of these volumes are identified in their colophons as Copy No. 181 and four others are numbered between 51-700 and printed "sur velin blanc" out of a total edition of 750-850. Copies numbered 1-50 of each volume were printed "sur papier du Japon" and contained a "reproduction d'une Aquarelle by that Artiste du Livre. 50-150 copies, depending on the volume, numbered I-L or up to I-CL in roman numerals were also published -- our volume of Chimot in this set is numbered C -- that volume also has no protective glassine jacket).

Cincinnati: The Cincinnati Game Co, 1908. NA. Very Good. A complete deck, with 53 cards, with actors pictured on cards including William Gillette, E. A. Sothern, Alla Nazimova, Ellen Terry, Julia Marlowe, Anna Held, George M. Cohan, Eddie Foy, William Gilette, Lillian Russell, Tyrone Power, Sr., Blanche Ring, Maxine Elliot, etc. etc. Portraits, with their signature, are on every playing card, including cards for 2 to 10. Decorative touches on the cards are pure Art Nouveau! The cards, or some of them, were obviously once pasted into an album, and evidence of this is sometimes present on the card backs. We have the full deck, nonetheless. We don't have the box which we assume would have contained the cards when they were first sold.

Description
Glasgow: Blackie and Son, 1887. Hardcover. Very Good. Hardcover. SCARCE IN THE US. British forces invaded and occupied Egypt in 1882 to put down a revolution hostile to foreign interests. British forces remained there to prevent possible intervention of another European power, especially along the Nile. The British government negotiated agreements with the Italians and the Germans to keep them out of the Nile valley, but the French wanted Britain to withdraw from Egypt. The tension continued for many years, encompassing France's efforts to develop a canal route through the Suez. In this four-volume publication, Archer traces the antecedents to the conflict and the first several years of the life of the conflict. The volumes were published by the famous publisher, Blackie and Son, in Glasgow. No publication date is present in any of the four volumes, but historical records suggest that they were released separately between 1885-1887. In Volume I of this set, there is a Preface by the author that is dated February 1887, which suggests that the four volumes in this set were published simultaneously. In the Preface, the author writes, "It is not for the writer to say that he has succeeded ... [but] he has already the happiness of knowing that, when three out of the four volumes were issued, they were well received ...", indicating that the first three volumes were initially published earlier. This is an interesting near-contemporaneous depiction of one of the most critical episodes in the history of the British empire. Small quarto. Four volumes in two bindings. Vol. 1, 288 pages; Vol. 2, 288 pages; Vol. 3, 272 pages; Vol. 4, 264 pages, plus index. Numerous photographic plates and illustrations throughout. Three-quarter green leather binding over maroon cloth boards. Leather on spines has faded to brown. Gilt title in maroon leather on spines; raised bands on spines. Some scuffing to leather and boards, especially at corners and edges. Marbled edges to text blocks. Pages are slightly yellowed but clear and bright. Previous owner's bookplate to front inside covers. ENGHIST/051525.

Description
Minneapolis, MN: Graywolf Press, 2022. First printing. Paperback. New. 110pp. Octavo. [23cm]. Illustrated wraps. "Shaped around moments of puncture and release, The Rupture Tense registers what leaks across the breached borders between past and future, background and foreground, silence and utterance. In polyphonic and formally restless sequences, Jenny Xie cracks open reverberant, vexed experiences of diasporic homecoming, intergenerational memory transfer, state-enforced amnesia, public secrecies, and the psychic fallout of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Across these poems, memory—historical, collective, personal—stains and erodes. Xie voices what remains irreducible in our complex entanglements with familial ties, language, capitalism, and the histories in which we find ourselves lodged. The Rupture Tense begins with poems provoked by the photography of Li Zhensheng, whose negatives, hidden under his floorboards to avoid government seizure, provide one of the few surviving visual archives of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and concludes with an aching elegy for the poet’s grandmother, who took her own life shortly after the end of the Revolution. This extraordinary collection records the aftershocks and long distances between those years and the present, echoing out toward the ongoing past and a trembling future.
