Seller: Ken Sanders Rare Books, ABAA

Title: Gods' Man and Madman's Drum (two volumes)
Author: Ward, Lynd
Seller: Ken Sanders Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: New York: Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith, 1930. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Octavos [21.5 cm] Black cloth spines with black and white illustrated paper over boards. Publisher's black topstain. The spines are rolled and the extremities are lightly rubbed. The top fore-edge corner of the rear board of Gods' Man is quite dinged. There is a previous owner's bookplate on the front pastedown of Gods' Man and there is a bookplate on the front flyleaf of Madman's Drum. Gods' Man also has a name in pen on the verso of the front flyleaf. Publisher's review slip tucked into Gods' Man. Ward's first and second "wordless novels." Ward wrote of the works "I had earlier believed that every block should be conceived in the simplest terms possible, then cut with an absolute minimum of tool work. I had worked on the premise that every image should be developed only as far as was necessary to produce a comprehensible statement for that particular point in the visual sequence. Now, with those earlier miles behind me, it seemed reasonable to take a different approach to the actual cutting of the blocks. In God's Man, except for the use of round and flat gravers to remove the white areas, all the rendering of figures and landscapes had been done with a single line tool. In Madman's Drum, by contrast, I sought to develop a wider range of tool work and utilized small round gravers to break up a large dark area with small jabs of the tool, thus achieving a variety both of tonal effect and textural quality. At the same time, I put more emphasis on decorative patterns in such things as dress material and the walls of interiors, which I hoped would not only result in richer and more varied impact from block to block but also help the reader identify recurring characters and backgrounds more readily as the story developed.

Title: Minutes of the Forty-Fourth [& Forty-Fifth] Annual Session of the North Ohio Conference Branch of the African Methodist Episcopal Church Third Episcopal District
Author: [African Americana]: [A.M.E. Church]: [Ohio]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: About very good.
Description: Cleveland: Wilfred-Gardner Pub. Co, 1926. About very good.. Two pamphlets: 80; 80pp. Each in original printed wrappers, stapled. Wrappers of earlier volume chipped and detached, with old tape repairs along spine. Minor toning to text of later volume. Both volumes internally clean. A pair of conference programs published in the wake of the annual meetings in 1925 and 1926 of the North Ohio Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church's Third Episcopal District. The 1925 meeting was held in Youngstown and the following year's conference took place in Cleveland. Each program includes detailed information on the officers and attendees of the conference, conference activities and reports, educational addresses, financial information, reports from the presiding elders, a report on the "State of the Country," statistical tables, and much more. OCLC reports just a smattering of issues at five institutions -- Howard, Atlanta University, Miami of Ohio, Western Reserve Historical Society, and Cleveland Public Library, but none of these institutions report holdings from these two years.
