1921. First Edition. LYFORD, Carrie Alberta. A Book of Recipes for the Cooking School. Hampton, Virginia: Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, (1921). Octavo, original mustard brown cloth. $2250.First edition of this collection of recipes intended for Home Economics students at the Hampton Institute.Founded just after the Civil War, with roots traced back to the beginning of the war, Hampton University—then the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute—is one of the oldest historically black universities in the country. This book was written for use in classes at the cooking school at Hampton by one of its teachers, Carrie Alberta Lyford. Lyford later went on to work extensively in government education initiatives among Native Americans. ""As director of the Home Economics School at Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia, and a former specialist in Home Economics for the U.S. Bureau Of Education, Lyford instilled confidence and self-determination in her students in the early 20th century and she left behind several cookbooks and leaflets to prove it. She inspired and influenced young women while advancing the University's mission: '…to train selected Negro youth who should go out and teach and lead their people first by example…to teach respect for labor, to replace stupid drudgery with skilled hands, and in this way to build up an industrial system for the sake not only of self-support and intelligent labor, but also for the sake of character'"" (Toni Tipton-Martin). Bitting, 296. Cagle & Stafford 490. In fine condition.

1976. First Edition. Signed. HALEY, Alex. Roots. Garden City: Doubleday, 1976. Thick octavo, original half black cloth, original dust jacket. $950.First trade edition of Haley's acclaimed historical novel, inscribed by him in the year of publication, ""10/20/76 B— and M— — my very best and my love! Alex Haley.""""Haley's most celebrated novel, Roots, has been compared to both Moby Dick and War and Peace. The Washington Post called it the most highly acclaimed book of our time… The author immediately became a household name, as he won over 270 awards. A phenomenon of the decade, Roots mesmerized Americans and readers of literature throughout the world. No novel since the publications of Uncle Tom's Cabin and Gone With the Wind captured the public interest on the subject of slavery and its ramifications… In Roots Haley successfully traced his ancestors with a birth in 1750 in Gambia, through oral history with painstaking research and thereby put into perspective the historical background of millions of other African Americans… Haley's 12 years of work on Roots won him a special Pulitzer prize on April 18, 1977"" (Blockson 3939). Preceded by the same year's signed limited edition. ""First Edition"" stated on copyright page. In 1977 the revolutionary television miniseries adaptation of Roots became one of the most-watched American television programs of its time. Books of the Century, 500. Book fine, dust jacket with mild edge-wear, tape repairs to verso. A very nice copy.

New York: Orbit, 2025. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Fine. 6x1x9. Reprint. Brand new from publisher. 2025 Trade Paperback. 542 pp. "Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian - leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules. Inquisitor Glokta, cripple turned torturer, would like nothing better than to see Jezal come home in a box. But then Glokta hates everyone: cutting treason out of the Union one confession at a time leaves little room for friendship. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government, if he can stay alive long enough to follow it. Enter the wizard, Bayaz. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Logen, Jezal, and Glotka a whole lot more difficult. Murderous conspiracies rise to the surface, old scores are ready to be settled, and the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood. Unpredictable, compelling, wickedly funny, and packed with unforgettable characters, The Blade Itself is noir fantasy with a real cutting edge.
