Title: Alaska Oil Boom Archive of 57 photographs documenting Cook Inlet Platform Transport, Assembly, Offshore Drilling Photographs, 1966
Author: Alaska offshore drilling archive
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1966. Cook Inlet offshore drilling photo archive of 57 chromogenic color photographs documenting the transport, assembly, and field operation of oil platform equipment in Alaska in 1966, including derrick sections, drill pipe, draw works components, service trucks, staging yards, flare fire, and rig floor assembly during the period when offshore construction expanded rapidly across the basin between 1964 and 1968. Alaska's first offshore platform was erected in Cook Inlet in 1964, exploration drilling peaked in 1966, and the photographs place the group within the short formative period when Cook Inlet became the proving ground for Alaska's offshore petroleum industry. The photographs record named individuals, large platform components, drill pipe, derrick sections, service trucks, and specialized machinery moving from yard to worksite and from transport into operation. Photo archive of 57 chromogenic color photographs, Kodacolor snapshot prints, ranging from 3.5 x 3.5 to 3.5 x 4.5 inches, Cook Inlet, Alaska, 1966. The derrick and draw works sections are hauled on heavy trucks across dirt roads, rig components unloaded in open staging yards, drill pipe rising within the derrick structure, and crews in hard hats and work clothes working at the base of drilling machinery. Several photographs isolate specific stages of petroleum work rather than completed structures, including a float identified on the verso as "Flatt & Doghouse," a "Tool box & work area on float," machinery captioned "Unloading Draworks from our truck #103 to Gary Bobs Road truck," pipe identified as "13,000 ft pipe in deric," and repeated views of muddy haul roads, flare fire, active equipment, and rig floor assembly from both elevated and ground level vantage points. The versos preserve contemporaneous functional captions and named personnel, including "Front view with Jerry Blackwood driving," "Little Red & Ramdro discussing plans," "Putting Deric on the floor," "two trucking the Deric," "Bottom 1/2 of the Deric. This is the way we haul it," and "My truck hauling top 1/2 deric pulled over for the day too muddy to proceed to location," giving the archive unusual specificity at the level of individual labor and task sequence. A yard sign for Canadian Superior places part of the group within the corporate landscape of Cook Inlet petroleum development. Cook Inlet's offshore fields were the first large scale petroleum infrastructure projects in Alaska waters, and the photographs preserve the hauling stages, yard transfer, pipe handling, rig erection, truck transport, and field conditions through which the basin moved from exploration into sustained production. Named workers, truck numbers, hauling stages, yard transfer, pipe handling, rig erection, and field conditions place the group within the daily labor structure of offshore oil development rather than in finished platform views alone. The seller's Spurr attribution merits caution, since later platform compendia place Platform Spurr in Trading Bay in 1968, but that discrepancy does not alter the archive's value as a 1966 record of Cook Inlet drilling logistics and offshore construction practice. Front surfaces show scattered paper residue or adhesion from prior storage, with light wear, minor discoloration, and ordinary handling marks. Overall good condition. A 1966 Cook Inlet drilling archive centered on truck haulage, derrick assembly, pipe handling, named workers, and offshore construction logistics during the basin's first major oil boom.

Title: Red Wine First
Author: Tyre, Nedra
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Very Good+ in Very Good dj
Description: New York: Simon and Schuster (A Venture Press Book). Very Good+ in Very Good dj. 1947. First Edition. Hardcover. [modest shelfwear to top and bottom edges, old gift inscription (non-authorial) on front pastedown; jacket has some shallow chipping along top edge, split halfway up from bottom along front flapfold, various small nicks and closed tears]. The first book by this Georgia-born author, who worked at various times as a social worker, library assistant, clerk-typist, teacher, advertising copywriter, and book reviewer. She was later to gain a minor reputation as a mystery novelist, with six novels and dozens of short stories (mostly published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and similar digest pulps) to her credit. Her entry in "Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers" notes the affinity and empathy she exhibited throughout her fiction to disadvantaged and socially isolated people, particularly elderly women, and ascribes it to her experiences as a social worker -- but from what's known of her life, it seems like she could just as well have seen herself in that class as well. (Critic Christopher Fowler, writing in The Independent in 2014, sketched this portrait of her: "She read avidly, stored books in her oven, and would only eat in restaurants with linen napkins. She lived austerely, took care of a sick mother, travelled alone and liked teddy bears" -- also noting that she had "abandoned writing after becoming completely deaf, and concentrated on charity work.") This particular book, which predates all her other published writing by about five years, both stands apart from it and yet is all of a piece with it -- it's "unclassifiable," per the publisher's blurb, "not a novel, not a book of short stories. It contains 26 chapters, each the autobiographical sketch of a human being, as he or she tells his story is his own words to a case worker." The author provides only the briefest sociological overlay, noting in a half-page introductory note that "the people in this book talk to someone called a case worker. Their confidence has been respected and they cannot be identified." (Note that she all but removes herself from the equation, too: although we learn from the author-bio jacket copy that the author "has been employed as a social worker since October 1939," she makes absolutely no attempt to position herself as the specific receptor for any of these narratives.) The book just plunges straight ahead with its 26 tales of "love and hate and human dignity and of the anguish caused when minds and hearts and bodies go unfed." .
