Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description
Edinburgh: Payback Press, 1996. First U.K. Edition. First Impression, a trade paperback original. Octavo (19.5cm); original pictorial card wrappers; xii,237,[7]pp. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page to Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks: "Miss Brooks - Forgive the N..... word, this was written a long time ago. (But I'd say it again) / Gil Scott-Heron (A Chicago Native) 4/97." Trivial wear to extremities, hint of foxing to text edges; very Near Fine. UK edition of Scott-Heron's second novel, originally published by Dial Press in 1972. Inspired largely by his own experiences as a student during the late 1960s-early 1970s, the book is a satirical look at campus life during that turbulent era. "Earl Thomas, student body president at Sutton University, is in a difficult position: struggling with the fact that even a historically black college could be part of a system that still priviliges whites, he's also threatened by his fellow students, members of the radical activist group MJUMBE. Claiming the time has come for revolution, not reform, the leaders of MJUMBE are poised not only to bring Earl down personally, but also to instigate large scale acts of violence" (from the Grove/Atlantic reissue). This copy bears a particularly poignant inscription to fellow Chicago poet Gwendolyn Brooks, whose involvement in the Black Arts Movement was a key influence on Scott-Heron's work. Brooks's regard for Scott-Heron is evident in her poem titled "Gil Scott-Heron": "Chance-taker Emotion voyager Street-strutter Contemporary Spirit Untamed Proud Poet Rough Healer He is His" An exceedingly good association copy of a key title. Scott-Heron's autograph material has always been uncommon; this is only the third inscribed book we have seen over many years, with no signed or inscribed books appearing in the auction record. BLOCKSON 5986 (for the Dial Press edition).

Description
New York: Gemor Press, 1945. Very Good -. New York: Gemor Press, 1945. First Edition, Limited to 1000 copies. Octavo (21cm); publisher's cream pictorial paper-covered boards printed in magenta; 183pp.; woodblock prints by Hugo throughout. Boards rubbed and worn at corners and spine ends, general dust-soiling and brief damp stain at bottom margin of rear cover, internally clean and sound. A Good to Very Good copy. Inscribed and signed on front free endpaper, "For George Davis avec amitié / Anaïs." One of the few works to come out of the Gemor Press, which Anaïs Nin and her lover Gonzalo More established in Greenwich Village in 1942. Though named after Gonzalo, Nin raised the money, taught herself to set type, and did the lion's share of the physical work for the press. Distribution in turn was aided by Frances Steloff at the Gotham Book Mart. Many of the works, as is the case here, were illustrated by Nin's husband Hugh Parker Guiler. Excellent association copy inscribed and signed on front free endpaper to Harper's Bazaar and Mademoiselle editor George Davis (1906-1957). Davis and a collection of like-minded friends had founded a bohemian artist's commune in Brooklyn Heights in 1940 to which Nin was a regular guest. It was Nin who gave the commune its name, February House, after noticing that most of its residents had been born in that month. Franklin A6a.

1906: Scribner's, 1906. Framed. Fine. A most evocative early 20th century promotional poster issued by Scribner's with its cover art for the September 1906 issue of its monthly magazine. Featuring a comely well-dressed woman, all in white, including her parasol, intently reading, possibly a missive from a man courting her. The artist is bold in the utter simplicity of the imagery, and his trusting a washed out palette, here suggestive of a sun-drenched day of late Summer. With its simple wood frame, 60 by 40.5 cm. Visible, 57 by 38 cm. This is the original 1906 poster, not a reprint. Minor spots of soiling. We have not examined the poster outside its frame.

Description
[Wilkes-Barre, Pa: Smith-Bennett Corp., 1927. Scarce First Edition. A collection of letter tributes to Kirby and presented in this book form during a 1927 Christmas Party at the Hotel Sterling in Wilkes-Barre. Fred Morgan Kirby [1861-1940] was from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and the founder of the F. M. Kirby & Co. 5 & 10-cent Store chain and a philanthropist. Kirby’s company was a major rival of the much larger F. W. Woolworth & Co. and the two businesses merged in 1912. Fred Kirby became a Vice President of the F. W. Woolworth & Co., which was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The financial success of the F.W. Woolworth chain gave Fred Kirby, in the early decades of the twentieth century, an estimated fortune of approximately thirty to fifty million dollars. This enabled the businessman to establish the Fred Morgan Kirby Foundation. He became a shareholder in many other corporations, including the Allegheny Railroad Company. He was also well-respected for his philanthropic spirit and he was a major benefactor to Wilkes-Barre, the town where his success began. He donated the money for a community health center in memory of his mother, Angeline Elizabeth Slater Kirby. He also donated the money for a park and its upkeep to be in the center of Wilkes-Barre as well as numerous other cultural institutions throughout the city. In addition to these philanthropic activities, Fred Kirby became one of Lafayette College’s foremost benefactors. By far, his most significant endowments to the college were for the establishment of the Fred Morgan Kirby Professorship of Civil Rights in 1921 and for the construction of the Kirby Hall of Civil Rights in 1929. The book contains laudatory letters from political leaders, businessmen and religious leaders. A very scarce book!. Quarto, brown limp faux-leather; unpaginated. Assembled and Presented by Hugh Weir.. Very Good (covers nice; contents clean & tight).

Bound in gray cloth over boards with spine lettered in silver. Very gentle bump to tail of spine. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: What did the Romans know about their gods? Why did they perform the rituals of their religion, and what motivated them to change those rituals? To these questions Clifford Ando proposes simple answers: In contrast to ancient Christians, who had faith, Romans had knowledge, and their knowledge was empirical in orientation. In other words, the Romans acquired knowledge of the gods through observation of the world, and their rituals were maintained or modified in light of what they learned. After a preface and opening chapters that lay out this argument about knowledge and place it in context, The Matter of the Gods pursues a variety of themes essential to the study of religion in history.(Publisher).

A cheerful catalog of a great variety of products it was published by the J. R. Watkins Company - one of the largest direct-sales companies in the United States by the early 20th century. Founded by J. R. Watkins in 1868, the company began manufacturing the original J. R. Watkins Liniment for minor muscle aches and stiffness, which would be sold door-to-door and is still available today. The direct-sales model would popularize the door-to-door salesman, known as "the Watkins Man" - a traveling Watkins employee, who would travel all across the US in a horse-and-wagon and later - in an automobile, giving the customers a chance to personally select the products they needed. The company's line of products would expand to include baking ingredients and spices, patent medicines, cleaning supplies, toiletries, and so on. The current catalog contained examples of all of the above, as well as gardening and household hints, articles on how to stay fit and on the history of cinnamon, etc.
