Description
Habana, 1965. Very good.. [16]pp. Oblong pamphlet in original pictorial wrappers, stapled. Light wear and toning at wrapper edges, with a few faint creases. Internally clean. A visually rich pro-Casto and pro-Communist pamphlet that highlights the history and core activities of Cuba's Committee for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), neighborhood-based civil defense organizations created by Castro in 1960 to defend the revolution and maintain social and political control at the local level. This often included activities like surveillance, distribution of propaganda, and vigilante justice. The pamphlet is illustrated with photos throughout, and also contains a two-page spread with maps of the island and charts, data, and statistics about the Cuban people. It contains a year-by-year account of the Committee's achievements and activities, and ends with a section concerning its relations with other countries and their visits to Cuba. The rear wrapper states that editions were published in English, French, and Spanish, as evidenced by the trilingual title on the front cover, but we find no evidence of any edition in OCLC. Scarce, and with much interesting and propagandized information about Castro's local enforcers during the early years of the Communist regime.

A humorous promotional cocktail recipe booklet, with thirty recipes, all for use with various Seagram's products. An illustration of the product, handsomely printed in chromolithography and with a short description of the spirit appears on the left page.

Strom and issued under the name, And So to Dine), as well as several recipes using the particular spirit. Copies of this title appear with 35 [1], 40, and 60 pages. The 60 page version, presumed to be issued last, was published in 1933 on the 300th anniversary of the birth of Samuel Pepys (see below), and with the statement, "Revised and enlarged edition in commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the birth of Samuel Pepys, 1633-1933" on the cover. Fine, in publisher's blue, black, and red printed wrappers, stamped with an alligator pattern. Scarce. [OCLC locates and five copies of this 35-page issue, and four of the 60 page issue; not in Noling, Beverage Literature].
