Fair to good. Toned with short tears, stains and water staining. Letter folds, dust soiling.
Description
United States: Gazette Office, Prin, 1790. Fair to good. Toned with short tears, stains and water staining. Letter folds, dust soiling.. A rather incredible (and incredibly scarce) example of type design, resulting in a religious acrostic that can be read from left to right and from top to bottom, and utilizing type ornaments to create three crosses. "Curious Piece" was popular through the 19th century in the United States through prints and samplers. Printed quarter sheet measuring approx. 12.5" by 7.5", verso blank. Accompanied by a modern transcription of a later (1858) example. The earliest example of "Curious Piece" we have been able to identify was printed c.1765, "by W. Bailey, at No 28, Great Tower-street, London" (ESTC Citation No. T34510); we suspect that this present example was printed in the United States in the 1790s, around the same time as the 1793 Samuel Sower printing (ESTC Citation No. W26372). We have, however, been unable to identify another copy of the present printing. There is an "Explanation" of the design at the foot: "The initials, INRI, at the head of the piece, is expressive of the Superscription of Pilate--Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews:--The middle column, by reading from the top down is Christ's exclamation--that on the right, the petition of the penitent thief, and the derision of the other, on the left.

Description
Bismark, North Dakota: United States Public Health Service, 1930. Good. Toned with short tears and chipping, including one large short tear to upper right-hand corner. Minor water stains.. A 1930's-era public health pamphlet issued by the United States Public Health Service, warning young American men against the dangers of venereal diseases and quack doctors. Interestingly, the front cover gives little indication of the contents inside (probably for modesty's sake), but it swiftly gets to the point once it is opened. Emphasizes the importance of seeking qualified medical treatment over questionable quack doctor remedies (including shot after shot of mercury). On the subject of prevention, the pamphlet advises young men to "keep away from the kind of women who are willing to 'give you a good time,' whether they want money for it or no. DON'T FORGET IT! KEEP AWAY FROM PROSTITUTES AND LOOSE WOMEN." Folding pamphlet measuring approx. 6.25" by 3.25" folded.

Description
New York: Vintage Books, 2003. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5x0x7. Reprint. Faint edge wear. 2003 Trade Paperback. "The protagonist of Tobias Wolff’s shrewdly -- and at times devastatingly -- observed first novel is a boy at an elite prep school in 1960. He is an outsider who has learned to mimic the negligent manner of his more privileged classmates. Like many of them, he wants more than anything on earth to become a writer. But to do that he must first learn to tell the truth about himself. The agency of revelation is the school literary contest, whose winner will be awarded an audience with the most legendary writer of his time. As the fever of competition infects the boy and his classmates, fraying alliances, exposing weaknesses, Old School explores the ensuing deceptions and betrayals with an unblinking eye and a bottomless store of empathy. The result is further evidence that Wolff is an authentic American master.
