Description
London: Richard Bentley, 1841. First edition. Near Fine. Three volumes, octavo (leaves 221 x 138mm), collating: [6], 400; [6], 406; [6], 404 pp. Bound without publisher's advertisements, as often, and without half-title in volume one. Otherwise complete with the half-titles in volumes two and three, and with five engraved portraits: a frontispiece in each volume and two additional portraits in volume three. Nineteenth-century half polished red calf over marbled boards. Gilt spine in six compartments with raised bands. Expert leather repair to joints and edges. Top edges gilt. Marbled endpapers with early twentieth-century bookplates (George F. Steele) to upper pastedowns. Very clean and fresh throughout. An excellent, Near Fine set. "Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one." Scottish journalist Charles Mackay's early study in crowd psychology, Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions sets out to debunk sensational issues ranging from alchemy, fortune-telling and haunted houses to large-scale and serious political issues such as crusades and economic bubbles. Across the three volumes, Mackay explores three different categories of "Delusions" and "Follies": Economic Delusions in volume one, Peculiar Follies in volume two, and Philosophical Delusions in volume three. The impact of Mackay's work has been remarkably far-reaching, influencing such diverse fields as popular psychology and the charting of the stock market - as noted by The New York Times, which urged: "Any investor who has not read Charles Mackay's 'Tulipomania,' from his classic Extraordinary Popular Delusions, first published in 1841, should grab this book for that exercise alone." Norman 1406. Kress C.5560. Near Fine.

Description
Four very large woodblock printed folding plates, many tables & diagrams in the text. 2, 8, 19 folding leaves. Large 8vo (255 x 183 mm.), orig. aubergine semi-stiff patterned wrappers, orig. block-printed title label on upper cover, new stitching. [Japan]: 1857. The very rare first edition in Japanese of an elaborate analysis of the muzzle-loading Minié rifle, an innovative French infantry weapon of the mid-19th century. The translator, Kosaburo Akamatsu (1831-67), was a rangaku scholar and an important military scientist. He translated several other Western military works. This is a translation of Booms’s Verhandeling over het schot der draagbare vuurwapens (1st ed.: 1855). Booms (1822-97) was a Dutch general and military historian. After Commodore Perry’s two expeditions, the Japanese stockpiled Western weapons and amassed books on military strategy and weapons in preparation for a hostile invasion. Akamatsu was introduced to Western firearms and tactics in Nagasaki at a Dutch-influenced military academy. Akamatsu directly translates Booms’s preface, then recapitulates numerous trials of the rifle’s accuracy. This is followed by comparisons of the Minié with rifles from other European nations. The Minié rifle was imported into Japan in large numbers, and it was one of the most prevalent firearms employed by Japanese soldiers. The four folding plates, which are quite large for Japanese books, present minutely detailed schematics and cross-sections of the Minié rifle. Fine and fresh copy. WorldCat locates only one copy in North America.

Near fine in very good jacket.
Description
New York: Epic Publishing Co., Inc, 1963. First printing. Near fine in very good jacket.. Scarce first edition of this semi-plagiarized, semi-pirated biography of Jacqueline Charlotte Dufresnoy (1931-2006), one of the earliest transgender women to undergo gender reassignment surgery. Performing under the stage name Coccinelle, Dufresnoy worked as a cabaret singer and founded the organization "Devenir Femme" to lobby and provide support for transgender people in her native France. Her 1962 marriage marked the first time a transgender person was legally permitted to marry in France. SHE-MALE details Coccinelle's story through her surgery, and it is heavily based on (indeed in places clearly plagiarized from) the 1962 English translation (REVERSE SEX) of Dufresnoy's husband's memoir COCCINELLE EST LUI. Despite these origins and its rather sensationalist presentation, SHE-MALE is a serious engagement with its subject. Scarce: we trace only two copies at auction or in commerce and only about a dozen scattered holdings in OCLC. 7.75'' x 5.25''. Original red boards. In original unclipped ($5.00) color photographic jacket. 192 pages, plus two black-and-white photo insert sections. Bit of chipping and a couple of old tape repairs to jacket. "5.00" price written on front panel. Book with touches of shelfwear. Else sound.

In 1915 he enlisted in the German army and served in (Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian, and White Russian) Russia.

Struck was best known as an etcher, having written a standard text on the subject and taught graphic technique to a number of artists, among them Chagall, Lieberman and Corinth.

WARREN G. HARDING (1865-1923). Harding was the Twenty-Ninth President. Proof copies. 1968. No place. The proof copies of Francis Russells 1968 biography The Shadow Of Blooming Grove. The controversial biography is best-remembered for a lawsuit brought by the Harding family against Russell. He discovered letters between Harding and his mistress, Carrie Phillips, and Russell intended to publish excerpts of the correspondence. The Harding family successfully sued to block their disclosure, and it boosted the pre-publication publicity for the tome. The proofs are in two bound booklets and housed in a custom-made green box. There is at least one handwritten correction and the pages have the usual wear to the edges. Perfect for the Warren Harding completist!

First Edition. Garrison-Morton 4797. Calmeil was a pupil of the French psychiatrist Esquirol. His treatise contains the classic description of general paralysis of the insane, along with an attempt to correlate the pathology of the disease with its clinical manifestations. However, Calmeil did not recognize that general paralysis was a separate disease entity (syphilis) and not simply a complication of mental illness. Norman 389. Zilboorg & Henry, p. 529. 305.

Description
United Artists. No binding. Fine. Los Angeles: United Artists, 1955. Vintage original 6 x 8" (15 x 20 cm) cardboard program with vellum paper cover. Fine. The Man with the Golden Arm was the first major Hollywood film to tackle the subject of drug addiction, which was still a taboo subject for American films during the 1950s. Its release defied censorship codes of the time while its success signaled moviegoers' growing interest in serious, adult film themes. As early as 1949 the source material was considered as a vehicle for John Garfield, and even in 1955 censors were very hard on the content of the film. Saul Bass designed the crooked arm symbol used in the film's advertising campaign, which director Otto Preminger liked so much that he threatened to pull the picture if an exhibitor changed the advertisements. Ranked at number 14 of the 25 best poster designs of all time, here is Bass' art in its purest form. Bass also created the film's animated title sequence, the first of many such sequences he created for films by Preminger, Alfred Hitchcock and others. (Wikipedia) For the opening guest-invited premiere, stars including Judy Garland, Bette Davis, Noel Coward, Liberace, Debbie Reynolds, as well as cast and crew, attended and would have received an invitation such as this. The West Coast premiere, as indicated on the invitation, was held on Dec 26th, 1955, at the Fox Beverly Theatre and was a formal affair.

Pro-Woman suffrage pamphlet with photo portrait of President Wilson on the front, below the title "What President WIlson Says". The interior portion has the headline "President Wilson Wants Woman Suffrage," and below 4 quotes and extracts from President Woodrow Wilson's speeches and writings to political bodies and suffrage groups. He writes to suffragist leader Carrie Chapman Catt. "As you know, I have a very real interest in the extension of the Suffrage to the women and I feel that every step in this direction should be applauded." No made an address to Suffragists at their 1916 National Convention: "It is because the women have seen visions of duty, and that is something which we not only cannot resist, but if we be true Americans, we do not wish to resist." Pamphlet was made to promote women's voting rights, as New Yorkers voted on statewide women's suffrage on November 6, 1917. The last page asks that you "Stand by Our President and make our own glorious country a Democracy...[and] Show that you are a true American." No folds or creases. Excellent condition. This campaign gave women in New York state the right to vote, and national suffrage came one year later.
