Description
N. Y.: Tibor De Nagy Gallery, 1951. First edition of O'Hara's first book, the birth of the New York School of Poetry. One of 130 copies printed on French Arches paper out of a total edition of 150 copies (there were 20 copies on Japanese Kochi); this copy number 38. According to the colophon, A City Winter was published in March-April 1952 in an edition of 150 numbered copies, in two forms: a regular issue of 130 copies printed on French Arches paper [copies 21-150] and a deluxe issue printed on Japanese Kochi paper with an original drawing by Larry Rivers [copies 1-20]. However, according to Brad Gooch, 280 "folded paper" copies were printed in addition to the copies on Kochi paper. The regular issue, bound in blue paper wrappers, sold for $1.00; the deluxe hardbound issue on Kochi paper with an original drawing by Rivers for $20.00. Brad Gooch, City Poet: The Life and Times of Frank O'Hara (N. Y.: Alfred A. Knopf, 1993), p. 213. Not all of the copies in the regular issue were bound, a fact probably explained by the large over-run of 130 copies of the regular issue - twice the number specified in the colophon. These additional copies, for which there may not have been enough of the decorative blue paper used for the original wrappers, appear to have been distributed as unnumbered "folded paper" copies, that is, as "folded and gathered sheets". Of the copies that have come on the market in the past twenty-five years, the majority of copies have been in the form of unbound sheets. In the present copy, the cover label has come detached, and is laid into this copy; there is light marginal wear and tear to the fragile blue wrappers; otherwise a very good copy. Although all copies of A City Winter are rare, the regular issue in its original blue wrappers is far and away the rarest, as compared to the same in unbound sheets              . 8vo, original decorated wrappers with printed paper label on front cover. In the present copy, the cover label has come detached, and is laid into this copy; there is light marginal wear and tear to the fragile blue wrappers; otherwise a very good copy. Although all copies of A City Winter are rare, the regular issue in its original blue wrappers is far and away the rarest, as compared to the same in unbound sheets              .

Description
Washington D.C.: The National Geographic Society, 1967 Illustrated with 166 color photos by Baron Hugo van Lawick, and 41 paintings and drawings by Jay Matternes. First edition, first printing. Publisher's green cloth, with front board lettered in black, National Geographic Society emblem stamped in gilt to front board, spine lettered in gilt, and brick-red endpapers; in its original white dust jacket, with a photo of Goodall and two chimps to front panel, lettered in black. Fine book; very good dust jacket, with a touch of wear to head of spine, some wear along front flap fold with a small closed tear to bottom corner, clean and bright front panel, and significant soiling to rear panel. Overall, a pleasing copy. In this book, Jane Goodall recounts her early years of studying chimpanzees in the remote Gombe Stream Game Reserve in Tanzania, conveying all of the excitement, humor, and drama of her studies. As the dust jacket states, "The reader will delight in baby Flint's first steps, in sister Fifi's games, and in old Flo's motherly concern. He will share the author's thrill at establishing a bond of friendship with David Greybeard - and her terror when the powerful ape turned on her and Baron van Lawick and pursued them up a mountainside." Jane Goodall (1934 - 2025) was a primatologist, conservationist, and environmental activist, best known for her 65-year study of chimpanzees in what is now the Gombe Stream National Park. After making a breakthrough discovery about chimpanzees early in her career - specifically that they are not herbivores, as it was believed, but omnivores who eat red meat and use a "fishing tool" to lure bugs - she went on to obtain her PhD in 1965 and continued studying chimpanzees. She eventually shifted her energy to activism, establishing the Jane Goodall Institute (1977) and the Roots & Shoots youth organization (1991), and traveling widely to speak about crises facing chimpanzees and the planet at large. In her inspiring career she has received many of the highest honors possible, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom (2025), and was appointed UN Messenger of Peace (2002) and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (2003).. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Dust Jacket Included.

Description
Manila, 1900. Very good.. Typed letter signed, [1]p. Typed on thin paper. Folded. A true copy of a typed letter by Gen. J.F. Bell that recommends Sgt. Maj. George J. Oden of the 36th Volunteer Infantry for a Certificate of Merit for gallantry during an engagement with Insurgents (native Filipinos who rebelled against American rule after Spain ceded the islands to the United States) in the mountains near Mangaterem on November 28, 1899, during the Spanish-American War. According to the text of the letter, "When the attack was finally made he tore down the mountain side at the head of a half dozen men into the midst of a large number of Insurgents, shooting right and left, and displaying great fearlessness and gallantry. He was foremost of all, and seemingly tireless, flew down the rough trail, finally winding up at the bottom, chasing all he could see alone. His enthusiasm and unconscious fearlessness was something pleasant to see." Certified as a true copy of the letter by a Buffalo Soldier, a First Lieutenant in the 10th U.S. Cavalry.
