Description
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1952. First edition. Very Good/Very Good. A Very Good copy in like dust jacket. Some fading and a dampstain to spine, minor edgewear, endpapers a bit toned, and a contemporary bookplate to upper free endpaper. In the first issue jacket (with panel text in brown and no Nobel Prize announcement). Jacket price clipped (with clip affecting one letter), small contemporary price sticker to inside of front flap, some edgewear, and slight chip to back panel. The final work of fiction published in the author's lifetime, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and cited by the Nobel Prize Committee, The Old Man and the Sea cemented Hemingway's legacy as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. The story follows the tribulations of an aging and suddenly unlucky fisherman, Santiago, as he tries to catch a gigantic marlin in the Straits of Florida. Ultimately, Santiago's story is an existential metaphor through which Hemingway explored in a seemingly simple way the dignity and biblical nature of an old man's trials at the end of life. It was a massive success. The book was originally published in full in an issue of Life Magazine, which subsequently sold 5 million copies in less than a week. "No outbursts of spite or false theatricalism impede the smooth rush of its narrative. Within the sharp restrictions imposed by the very nature of his story Mr. Hemingway has written with sure skill. Here is the master technician once more at the top of his form, doing superbly what he can do better than anyone else" (contemporary New York Times review). Very Good in Very Good dust jacket.

Description
New York: Shapiro, Bernstein & Co, 1915. Folio sheet music, illustrated color pictorial cover featuring a photographic image of society dancers Maurice and Florence Walton. 5 pp. (including cover). Approximately 13 ½ x 10 ½ inches. Light handling wear; excellent condition overall.. A striking ragtime-era dance publication for “The Tar-Heel Blues,” composed by the African American bandleader and composer J. Tim Brymn (James T. Brymn, 1881–1946). The cover features a posed studio photograph of the well-known ballroom dancers Maurice and Florence Walton, who are credited on the sheet as introducing the piece. Such dance teams played a major role in promoting new popular dance compositions during the 1910s, when foxtrots and ragtime-influenced social dances were widely circulated through sheet music and stage performances. Brymn was one of the most prominent Black bandleaders active in New York during the early twentieth century. Born in Kingston, North Carolina, he studied music at the National Conservatory of Music and later led orchestras at several major entertainment venues including Ziegfeld’s Midnight Frolic and the famed Reisenweber’s Paradise Ballroom. In the early 1920s he organized the Black Devil Orchestra, an ensemble of African American musicians that toured Europe and made recordings for the Vocalion label. Brymn’s compositions and arrangements helped bring ragtime and early jazz idioms into mainstream dance music during the period immediately preceding the jazz age.
